in around 1969 i lived and worked in the next bay round from bigbury, a charming and beautifull challaborough bay. i worked on one of three caravan parks (south hams) and at night i would walk along the cliff tops over to bigbury to a wonderfull bar/pub complex were one side was a pilot bar overlooking the sea and Burgh island and on the other side was the wai kiki bar,both made for a relaxing night out.aaah such sweet memories. thank you for reminding me Gimbal walk tv.
That looked very tiring walking around there in that heat. Beautiful view of the island 🏝️ and the ferry ⛴️ going across. A surfers paradise in Devon. 👍👍
Beautiful place. First visited in 1992. Burgh Island accesible by foot at low tide. Beautiful old pub called The Pilchard and the hotel of course. We sometimes stay at a lovely Parkdean holiday park in Challaborough just around the corner.
Always! They’re trainers though not boots! They have special tread on them made out of the same material as sports car tyres as I was so many miles in them
what a beautiful video ♥ thank you so much for your tours, this was especially helpful since i'm goint to visit bigbury-on- sea and burgh island next week 😍 so, i could well prepare and get familiar with the area 😊 greetings from switzerland
Amazing ❤ Devon and Cornish beaches are the best, natural and rugged, so peaceful. This my local and favourite beach ! Been going since a child. So glad you saw the water tractor, it carries passengers to and from the Island when the tide is in. When tide is out, you can walk across, as the water recedes to the width of the Island, making the beach really big. When the tide comes in, it does so from both sides and meets in the middle.
My family and I have been coming to this very beautiful location for about 60 years now, and the love and memories we have, have never faded. Thank you sharing your video and bringing back so many wonderful memories. ❤❤❤
Visited in 1984 and 1985, stayed at The Henley Hotel run by Peter and Jimmie Darkins (ex military couple). There is a brilliant steep step stone path/sheer drop down to the beach which becomes a private beach at high tide - closed off now! Took a wayfarer down the second year for some sailing, got a bit hairy and scared my 5 year old little brother 😬 Absolutely wonderful place back then, that hedge where the orange sign was had a mass of glow worms. A huge amusement arcade was at the end of Folly Hill but upon returning in 1997 it had gone and was now a car park. Drove onto that beach in a Citroen BX and briefly got stuck! Would love to go back for a week or two!
Used to holiday here as a family when I was a child. Stopped going in 2008 but I got myself back there a couple of weeks ago. Incredible to see it as an adult this time! How did you find the roads getting there however? Fun aren’t they? 🤣
Never been there, but I’ve dreamt about staying at the hotel on Burgh Island for 20 years…..maybe some day. After watching Evil under the Sun from 2001, I felt in love with Burgh Island. I’m a big Agatha Christie fan, especially Poirot 😊
I went with my father in1964, there was nothing there apart from sea and rocks...when went with my husband about 15years ago there was an awful amusement arcade..
For someone who can't travel anymore due to illness you bring joy into my house regularly with your amazing content.
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS😊😊😊
Thank you 🙏
Looks beautiful. Being by the sea is good for the soul. Thank you for this video.
You’re welcome

I can hear your boots as you're walking! ;)

Hope it's a nice happy film, they filmed Children of men in Woolwich,left an air of doom ever after.😢 Bigbury is very pretty,my kind of escape.😊

How did you find the roads getting there however? Fun aren’t they? 🤣
I love the sounds of England ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I have been there a number of times over the years. The beach is difficult to get onto if you have mobility issues but the beach itself is beautiful.
Agreed
Bloody hell got ear worm now, bits and pieces, Dave Clark five
🤣🤣🤣
New one on me.
When the tide is out there is a big expanse of sand up to the island...

The cafe wasn't there..or those houses...and when the tide is out the sand runs up to Burgh Island..
Have you been to Hope Cove, just down the coast?
Not yet!
I went with my father in1964, there was nothing there apart from sea and rocks...when went with my husband about 15years ago there was an awful amusement arcade..
Why do I see Hercule Poirot investigating a murder under the sun???😮😮😂😂
🤣😮😮
Not the normal type of homes you see around Devon,
