Ha ha, perhaps you’re right HD, gin and ice cream, do tend to have that effect! I’m going to drop by to your channel now and see what you have been up to. We’re away in Madeira at the moment, so I haven’t had as much time as Usual.
Looking to relocate to a seaside town for a non driving single mum to a 11 year old boy. I love a creative hub filled with a live community, music, nature and shopping....PLEASE HELP
@@002lisamarie Indeed they are... but Exeter was blitzed too like Plymouth and badly as they say 'replanned'. But otherwise a nice lively city with a good University and a lovely Cathedral and Cathedral Green. There is also the River Exe. I lived in Exeter for a couple of years.
I studied in Plymouth Polytechnic from Oct 1974 to June 1978. Part of the time, I lived in a sailing school in the Barbican, and I used to buy fish and chips from a shop just round the corner, yummy. Yes, I have some fond memories on the Barbican.
Hi there @martinleung212, happy to bring back a memory or two of when you studied in Plymouth. Living in a sailing school in the Barbican sounds fascinating.
I used to study there. After 10years, its good to see this place again. Although virtually, i thank you for this video. Brings back memories. Please pray for me to make lots of money to visit this place again.
hello there battenberg, we have filmed some of the places you mentioned, so watch this space! so pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. all the best to you and thanks for dropping by.
hello there aw, I’m always pleased to hear that you enjoyed the walks, all the best to you and thanks for dropping by. I’ll be popping by to your channel soon but I’m in Madeira at the moment
Excellent video! Thank you so much for the tour of this lovely city. The natural sounds are so much better narration than ego-driven drivel from presenters who are fascinated with the sounds of their own voice. The historical notes you left bring me to a time long before I was around. We will be in Plymouth for just several hours soon as a cruise ship we’ll be on will dock there. Looking forward to gin, a nautical-based bookstore I heard about, gin, the Mayflower departure point and gin.
Hello there Brad, so pleased that you enjoyed the footage with natural sound and I hope it helps to orientate you when you dock. I’m sure you will have a great time in Portsmouth enjoying the history and the gin!!
Loved this video so much! I love Plymouth, we usually stay for a couple of nights on our way down to Cornwall, usually staying at the Premier Inn at Lockyer's Quay. We spend so much time in the Barbican (in the pubs!). On our last night we have a huge three course meal at the Village Restautant and book in for cocktails at The Refectory bar at the Plymouth gin distillery too. P.S. They do a lovely cheese salad in The Navy Inn! It's great washed down with a pint of Tribute.
Good morning Alison, I guess it’s the perfect stop off point for Cornwall. Thanks for your recommendation of the premier inn. The Barbican has a great atmosphere doesn’t it. I have a few walks here in Cornwall if that gets you in the mood for your next trip? all the best to you.
@@LivingWalks Yes, coming down from the Midlands, Plymouth is the perfect stopping off point on our journey to the far west of Cornwall. I highly recommend the Premier Inn at Lockyers Quay as it its located close to the aquarium and the Barbican. You can walk to the Barbican from the Premier Inn either via the Swing Bridge or take the longer route around Sutton Harbour. Thank you, I will check your Cornish walks out too!
Join us for our Plymouth UK Tour - filmed in July 2021. This port city is full of history - going back as the Bronze Age! It was from here in 1620 that the Pilgrim Fathers sailed to America and founded Plymouth Colony, the second English settlement in what was to become the USA. Join our Plymouth walking tour and wander through the streets and harbour. If you’ve wondered what’s Plymouth like? - then here’s your chance to see for yourself.
@@dapperdank3701 indeed so dapper dank, only a representation of a small part of the city, I’m sure we’ll be back sometime to make a longer walk. All the best to you
I feel like i would just have to live on the south coast of britain if i moved there, they at least get a reasonable amount of sunlight there. So much of britian doesn't seem to get enough!
Ah, I hope we'll be back to capture more of the city for you. Hope this brought back a good memory or two for you anyway! All the best and thanks for dropping by.
This Video is perfect for me then since i saw the Old Captain Hornblower Movie which shows a Part of the Plymouth Old Town i am a Fan of Plymouth. And this Video here shows the Beautiful Old Town better as all the other Videos on you tube
How nice to receive your message Daniel, it makes it worthwhile to know the films are being enjoyed. Thanks for dropping by to let us know. All the best to you.
My wife has a potential great work opportunity coming up, where we would need to relocate to Plymouth. Her place of work would be a business working within Royal Williams Yard, so we ( a family of 6 ) would be looking for a place around that area.
Thank you very much for this. I lived in Plymouth from the age of one to 23/24 .... a long time ago.. 1947 -1970. A pity about the noisy cars and motorbikes driving in the barbican. Unpleasant for pedestrians....Where we could hear people talking I was pleased to hear Plymouth accents. Unfortunately, for anyone who doesn't know the city... this ( the barbican) is just a small un typical part of the city. Why not do a 'walk' in the 're-constructed ' major part of Plymouth? The barbican ( this video) was almost the only part that vicious, car mad Abercrombie didn't develop. OfAbercrombie' s post-war 'replanning' of Plymouth, Sir Simon Jenkins wrote: "Poor Plymouth. It was badly blitzed in the Second World War and then subjected to slash and burn by its city fathers. The modern visitor will find it a maze of concrete blocks, ill-sited towers and ruthless road schemes. Most of this damage was done by one man, Patrick Abercrombie, in the 1950s. The old Barbican district would, in France or Germany, have had its façades restored or rebuilt. Here new buildings were inserted with no feeling for the texture of the old lanes and alleys." In this video you don't show the principal 'replanned' centre of Plymouth. I see and hear that Abercrombie's vision of priority to the car lives on in the city., even on the barbican which he left 'relatively' un touched. You also mention South Devon AOB ( what remains is beautiful) .... but you don't mention that Plymouth has built over quite a lot of it.... PLymstock, Elburton, Brixton, Plympton, Wembury, Turnchapel. Sherford New Town anyone??
Thanks for taking the time to drop by @daydays12, we travel a lot in Europe and see your point completely about what has happened in the city. We were just glad to find this little part with some soul remaining. All the best to you.
Hello from America 🇺🇲🇬🇧👋👋
and hello in return from Blighty!
Miss the city. Used to study in the uni of ply. glad to tour by the video!! thanks! looking forward to go back some day soon!
Hi Jacob, pleased to give you an exploration of the lovely city, hope you get to see more of it someday soon. Thanks for dropping by.
I studied abroad here. Very fond memories. Feels like I’m there again.
So pleased to have brought back some happy memories to you Nami!
Plymouth devon England🏴😍❤️
Indeed so!
What a nice place. Everyone seems so happy.... Maybe it is the Gin and Ice Cream. Wonderful video...
Ha ha, perhaps you’re right HD, gin and ice cream, do tend to have that effect! I’m going to drop by to your channel now and see what you have been up to. We’re away in Madeira at the moment, so I haven’t had as much time as Usual.
I remember when there were no tourists. Life was pleasant and peaceful...
Ah, well at least you have that nice memory! All the best to you.
I'm relocating to the UK soon and after watching this I'm in love. It looks beautiful. It's definitely on the short list of where to buy/live.
Hello there Kevin, pleased to know that the footage was helpful. It's a great city, hope you enjoy your investigations!

Hi @zuffin1864, we live in the South East, and get lots of sun and very little rain, so fortunate in that respect.
Lovely video. I was willing for you to walk by the Lido and by Smeatons Tower. They are my fondest memories of the short time I spent in Plymouth.🙂
Ah, I hope we'll be back to capture more of the city for you. Hope this brought back a good memory or two for you anyway! All the best and thanks for dropping by.
even though plymouth is in devonshire, it still looks like its in cornwall on a map to me.
I take your point Aaron!
Hi I like your channel, thank you for the video. 👏👏 greetings from Sweden.
Thanks for watching fellow Walker. good to hear from you

Nice sharing. It was a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for visiting, I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. all the best to you.
Thoroughly enjoyable, lots of information about Plymouth of which I did not know, even though I had previously lived in Plymouth 46 years!.
So glad you found it so Paul, it's a pleasure to know the films are being enjoyed. All the very best to you.
Looks like a nice day out.
It was indeed fellow Walker, good to hear from you
The start looks nice 👍☺️

You're most welcome Orsolya.

I believe this is also where the pilgrims came from
Indeed so Saudade!
Check out the Mayflower Steps at 18:30.

Its the Barbican, not a quay
Thanks Steve.

Hi Maria
😍😘👍👍👍👌
thank you!
Devon looks like Iceland
Oh is that so Cal?
Barbican is the only nice place about it lmao
We certainly enjoyed it in that area!
