01:57 Did you know that Tallinn, in Estonian, and King's Lynn, in English, mean the same thing?
Similarly, Blackpool and Dublin have identical meanings. Land's End and Finisterre are another pair of identical place names. Yet another pair are Newcastle, and Khota Baru in Indonesia.
It can be interesting to learn how many places around the world have similar place names.
I have visited Lowestoft several times. For the first time with a sailing ship from Amsterdam to Lowestoft. Lowestoft has a nice beach, but Great Yarmouth has more beach life and attractions. Thank you Tim for this video.
Many thanks freddy for watching
I used to come here from Canada every summer to see my grandparents. We always would watch the airshow and I will never forget seeing that harrier crash into the sea
Me neither
You deserve a medal, don't know how you have made Lowestoft look so good. Possibly because there are no crack and smackheads in the high street because of lockdown, just a thought
😂😂😅🤣
Hahahah yes I currently live in Lowestoft and it doesn't look like this-will view with fresh eyes now!!
@@SuperDolly64 haha he obviously didnt go through town at this point where the homless set up shop in every shop cranny xD
Try living in Peterborough for a while. You'll soon change your mind
yep you should
That’s a stunning beach isn’t it? I have a colleague who absolutely adores Lowestoft and visits there at every opportunity. Fantastic :)
It's nice to see a local showing some positivity keep up the good work
Thank you
Fantastic video
Lowestoft is somewhere I’ve not been but I will definitely go now.
Thank you Tim
Lol thanks ian
I’m new to your channel and been binge watching your videos while cuddling my newborn. I live in Lowestoft and was lovely seeing such a nice view of it. I love the flying fifteens tea room too, I went there a lot with my mum when I was little
I went there when I was 14 , my first time in UK, amazing summer I had to be honest , and a lot of good memories, I became bilingual with Spanish, that is why I have been teaching both for over 20 years now on skype,,It is great to watch this video, thanks Tim !!!,your video is a good souvenier for me at this moment since I have been thinking about going back there and Bristol, where I spent almost 4 years studying in UWE, university of the west of England.
All the years I have spent on the east coast and I have never been to Lowestoft, apart from the most eastly point, I cant wait to go there now. Next time we take the caravan we will definitely be going, Thanks Tim.
Hope u enjoy ian 🙌
I often wander around Lowestoft, 2 to 3 times a year, looking at old pubs, old railways, the beach...
its great on a sunny day
Lovely beach and the weather is perfect . Looks so inviting. Beautiful Tim!🏖
Many thanks!
Good evening Tim just watching your Lowestoft video brings back childhood memories my late nan used to live in Harleston and Lowestoft was her favourite seaside place.we often went for the day out great memories.
Thanks for watching Charles 😁 remember to subscribe
@@WalkWithMeTim I have 👍
Thanks so much. I live just outside the town and youve made it all look so clean and friendly. We have gone through so much shit with the decline and loss of world class coachworks and shipbuilding, the collapse of fleet-based deep sea fishing and the long gone days of Pye then Sanyo Electronics. Shell UK Exploration and the Co-Op cannery were also major employers. However, there is some continuity; Birds Eye Walls/Unilever are still a major and proud employer and the CEFAS Laboratory is an international centre of excellence. Whilst large scale offshore support for oil and gas remains here, the new wind-farm technologies are starting to regenerate a good vibe about the town. Things are starting to improve! Whilst our traffic system of one way gridlocks continues to suffocate Lowestoft (Great Yarmouth is much better - the traffic system and town planning puts us to shame) we look forward to the third river crossing which hopefully will produce employment opportunuties for local skills. God knows we need it. Shopping is changing with the move to modern retail parks at North Quay (Currys/PC world) and Gisleham/Pakefield (The Range). The actual town centre is dying....needs redevelopment into residential, improved theatre provision, proper central swimming pool, new home for Lowestoft Town FC, a modern open air food market and parkland. A quick mention for Oulton Broad, with the huge park, marina and gateway to the Suffolk Broads system, plus its' unique two rail stations (one line to Ipswich/London, the other to Norwich) it is a beauty spot to behold, especially in summertime.
Really enjoy your work. Thanks for posting
wow thanks for that comment! agree its a shame what's happening to the hight street
Loved your video. My best friend lives in Lowestoft and because of the current restrictions we've not been able to visit her so it was lovely to see this video just to remind me how nice it is there. Thank you❤
Thanks julia
So well spoken! & your facts are so interesting, like I’ve lived here my whole life & I didn’t know half of the stuff I do until now. Your videos are awesome! Keep doing what ur doing x
Thanks for the nice comment leighah, if you haven't already remember to subscribe to see more 😎
Great tour of lowestoft. I learnt facts I did not previously know about the town.
Thanks
I'm really getting some Summer Vibes watching this.
I'm desperate for some Sunshine & longing for summer days 🌅☀️
Much better Tim. Born and bred Great Yarmouth, but only ever traveled through Lowestoft. I will plan a trip soon.Looks nice.
Thank for watching
Another lovely place, wish I was there right now! thank you for the trip.
Thanks jules
use to come on our jollies here in the 70s to a caravan park, we loved it, the beach huts and sparrows nest, listening to one of the seaside oragns. i bet it has changed alot since my last visit in 1986
Great video not been to lowestoft in few years another lovely little place had a tour of the fishing boat full of history
Thanks Karen 👍🙌😃
Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Keep going!
Thanks, will do!
Lowestoft was a brilliant place to visit not as good as Yarmouth but still great place the beach was fantastic and had a long paddle in the sea and walked down the seafront and 2 piers and walked around the town the shops were great here and the weather stayed dry all week for my holiday keep up the brilliant videos Tim
Looks lovely! You know your stuff Tim, I love old buildings, so interesting (Well, I think so)! Lol. 😀
Lol I dont claim to be an historian tho you will see that in other videos lol
Thank you Tim for a wonderful video of my beloved home town.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Tim ,love your vids,you a have such wide knowledge of the area,Yes Norfolk is an amazing place to visit,been to the northern area,Cromer,Wells and stayed near Mundesley several times but not these parts around Yarmouth.Must go there sometime,once again lovely vids and thanks for all your hard work making them.Best wishes ,Alan
Thanks alan
My younger brother lives there and every opportunity i get i always drive down from London, absolutely amazing place
I used to go Lowestoft as a kid. I met a girl who I think was the love of my life but I blew it & always wonder about her. We didn't have mobiles like today otherwise things may of been different. Hope your life has been great Laura. Love Marcus ❤️ 🙏🏻

@laughter true it's still my favourite beach and share loads of memories up lowestoft specially the red arrows and going to the beach to relax to get a suntan lol
A few things I haven't seen before like the distances to different places you pointed out from the most Easterly point (which was also a very interesting Geographical fact) Well done. Another successful" Walk with me" 👍
Thanks Deborah

Beautiful Lowersoftnever been I have to go thankyou Tim enjoy your video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Tim I've have a funny story we were visiting a few years ago . We tried to visit lowestoft we just couldn't find our way in to the sea front to park . So we never got a chance to see the beach . I have been though before a while ago now . Thanks for sharing with us. Tracey xxx
Lol yes I guess its not well sign posted
Tim! you doing it big on here bro:) keep up the great work. i've literally watched your channel grow. To many more success and keep providing great content to everyone
That's very kind to say thank you 😃
Brilliant as always and always a spur to visit - surely all these places will not attract more investment - thanks again Tim ... film maker in the making ...
Thanks Sally
OK so now its really hard to decide which is my favourite video. A big thumbs up from me as always 😁👍☑️
Thanks gaby
You've pulled Tim. Lucky man.
Yeah he's very lucky haha
Beautiful town and beach.
It really is!
*_Great vid my friend! Really enjoyed it, keep up the great work!_*
Thank you
I was very impressed with this vlog Tim, it looks to me like it would be worth a visit, never imagined it looked like this.
Thanks Stephen yes specially when the suns out 😎
I usually go for walks into Lowestoft on my days off from Southwold Pier. Often visit Ness Point too. Feels great to have visited the most Easterly point of the UK. Hehe I always thought the Gulliver wind turbine sounded like a plane flying over too. 6:54 Never really thought of that pub as the Queen Vic from EastEnders. But then, I stopped watching the show a long time ago. Only ever been in the Marina Theatre once years ago, when they had a James Bond music event. 7:34 That Barnardo's shop on the left is where I was working before Southwold Pier. Glad I'm not the only one who feels the Bascule Bridge is gonna collapse everytime I walk across it lol Love it when the fair visits the sea front twice during the summer. Shame they couldn't this year cuz of Covid-19. 11:38 So do I.
WOW lol see you never know what you are misssing out on . thanks for watching Andrew
Been in Peterborough for 7yrs can't wait to get back to Lowestoft
Thanks for watching Sandra
Just returned after a few nights at the Hotel Victoria. Adam and staff made me so welcome, and the food was lush. Can't wait to see everyone again soon
Thanks for sharing I love your videos very informative so much to learn around Norfolk & Suffolk. Well done, Celia

Thoroughly enjoy your videos! Thank you and keep walking ;)
thanks , hope you subscribed too
Yes, I certainly have!
Hi Tim I have just discovered your channel this Sunday 9th July 2023 and was surprised how well traveled you are :) My favourite beach is Daytona Beach in Florida have been there a few times. I live here in UK . I will like and subscribe to your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
With me being a bus driver and enthusiast, Lowestoft is well known to me as the home of the bus body builder Eastern Coach Works, I believe in its heyday the largest employer in the town, sadly closed around 1987. A cracking video, you seem to get lovely sunny days, but don't let rain put you off, I love a wet day for filming! If you're planning on coming further down in to Suffolk, I'd love to see Aldeburgh, Orford, Woodbridge and Felixstowe in the future. Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you , yes Felixstowe and others are on my list
@@WalkWithMeTim Cool, I shall look forward to them.
Love buses and trams as well
Hi. I love the videos, next time you go to Lowestoft make sure to try the hot donuts next to the South Beach arcades. They are delicious. Me and my family love them! Keep up the good work!
Will do , thanks
Great video of yours!! Lowestoft is a really nice seaside resort. Greetings from Poland!!! BTW, Krapkowice is a little town in the south of Poland (for those who might not know about it)
Hey, Michael thanks for watching
Another brilliant tour thank you x
Thanks ali
Another great video Tim
Thanks 👍
Used to think My hometown looked like sh** but you’ve just made me see it in a whole different light☺️You’ve honestly made it look beautiful! X
Lol thanks ... its amazing when the suns out 😎🌅❤
Brilliant video, love it!! Wouldn't criticise anything but could I add that when you see the Maritime museum and Sparrows Nest ( 3:25 on the video) it's also worth looking out for the mark on the building nearby of how high the water reached in the 1953 flood disaster? Many people lost their lives then, especially from the Netherlands but also in Norfolk and Suffolk
Yes I did notice that, I should have added
Anouther brilliant video looks a nice place!
Thanks peter
What a great channel, you really do deserve alot more subscribers, excellent stuff,
Thank you 👍
I quite agree!
Theres so many UA-cam videos out there that are so uninformative and dull and somehow get so many likes. You Tim do a fantastic job I so look forward to your videos, incredibly knowledgeable and well thought out, you deserve so many more likes and subscribers thank you for the effort and detail you put in congratulations mate :) :)
Thanks steven, nice of you to say thanks for subscribing 👍🙌

Great Video, and thank you, but could have done with another 5 minutes or so showing more of the beach and area around at the end.
I went there for the first time 2 months ago and I was very impressed., Beautiful place.
Next time!
Fantastic Video. We ahave been going to the Yarmouth area for hols for years. I love the editing and chat/info. I have watch a few of your videos now all great. For a channel that just started in April you are smashing it with views and subscribers. My channels has been going quite awhile and some of my vids have took a few years to get the views your vids are getting. I think you are going to have a big and successful channel. GOOD LUCK. I have subbed and look forward to your next video.
Thank you 😀
Good job! Thank you!
Thank you too!
Personnellement, que de beaux souvenirs de Lowestoft durant mon adolescence (80's). Comprenne qui pourra.
Thanks for watching
Nice video Thanks Tim 👍
Thanks tony
Good work fella 👍
Thanks 👍
Next time you are over this way, give us a call and we will show you around Britains' most easterly traditional smokehouse.. Quite interesting to see how fantastic Kippers are still produced here.
Sound good gerry please send me an email link in about tab
@@WalkWithMeTim Sure thing, it's gerry@smoka.co.uk www.smoka.co.uk look forward to it.
Love your show ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very helpful 👌thanks 😊
Thanks for watching
Great video. 👍
Thanks 👍
Nice report 👍❤️😘
thanks
That bridge used to terrify me as a kid crossing it with cars going by. Im in a wheelchair so i probably feel the bounce more than most
yes it certainly does move
I think I actually remember you doing commentary at the air show
omg
A curiosity of the English language: We often call them seagulls, but there is no bird which is properly called a seagull. We should call them simply gulls or mews. There are a wide variety of gulls around the world, all with different names, such as heron gull, lesser black-backed gull, kittiwake, little gull, and so on, but no sea gull.
I love your footage! You know that!
Thank you
Found you by chance a few weeks ago as I follow Kate McCabe. I linked your channel thinking she may like it as she lives local to your video's and may increase your subsription. Turns out she knows you anyway. I have visited Hemsby and Hopton (Potters) and love the Norfolk beaches. Living near Manchester it's not a short journey but I hope to visit again soon. I look forward to seeing your weekly walks very much. Well done 🤗
@@sueg2470 Thank you for trying to help up with subs!! It is a difficult task.... but I am sure I'll get there!!! And thanks for all your kind words!
@@sueg2470 thank you
@@WalkTuber lol I think they are talking to me lol
Great video
Thanks!
In the 70s there were two pools one with boats in you could hire somewhere along the seafront. Its so far away not been since. Maybe when I can use the trains properly I might visit.
We stayed twice at the caravan park by Sparrows Nest. Green fly were a problem Sometimes watched the lorries delivering to the Birds Eye factory.
you should
did you know that you can take a pleasant walk from Lowestoft to Oulton broad and the yacht station which is part of the Norfolk Broads rivers where people on holiday as well as boat owners moor their boats and vice versa which takes about 45 mins depending on how quick you walk, and in places you can actually walk along and through all the little boat yards dotted along the route, although it takes a while to walk there it only takes about 5 mins by train but you dont get to take in all the views and wonderful sea air, and the broads rivers as 2 tidal routes although one is controlled and the controlled one is the Lowestoft area as it as sea and river locks together at Oulton Broad, whereas Gt Yarmouth the tide isn't controlled and just pushes the water levels up, and there is also a river taxi from the broad to Lowestoft which runs in the summer but is dependant on the weather and sea conditions.
I used to do that walk regularly as I lived in town and worked in "The Original Gift Shop" on Bridge Road. It's still there. A little treasure trove.
Thanks for watching Sandra!
Great video. Love Lowestoft. I think those seagulls on the Claremont Pier are Kittiwakes and are the most southerly population in the UK. Are you planning to do Norwich soon. Might need a couple of vids to cover all the history?
Thanks Kathryn, yes Norwich will be a future video
Just got back to the US after spending 3 weeks in Lowestoft. I miss it so much :( I want to live there eventually.
Where about in the us Alex?
In Virginia
@@pwnsyou82 make sure you subscribe and I'll show you more from this beautiful area
Oh wow, I have a friend in the US, Texas, who's been wanting to visit the UK and check out Lowestoft.
So weird to see my home on UA-cam, you make it look so lovely 🥺😂
it does
Stunning beach 👌
The little bays are just lovely too, everything looks so clean
Yes indeed!
so nice!

Thanks
Beautiful place

Always pronounced it Lowestof, so been wrong all my life haha. Visited it once in the 80s while staying in a caravan on the south denes, Great Yarmouth.
Lots of people in the town with a local accent would pronounce it that way so you are not far wrong 😂
lol
