    That's a really lovely village, I can see why it's been used in historic movies. Seeing the sailing ships in the harbour makes it really great, there's something wonderful about seeing ships with masts and rigging.

    A free park sounds good to me and I do remember the Oneida Line. The harbour looked great but I felt sorry for the naughty assistant lol! Those doves must be a canny age mind and never heard of a floating Air B&B before and 100% with you on hauling one of those boats back up the slipway! Interesting little museum and the China clay tunnels, goodbye Kim, cheers Alan

      @WanderingwithWatto  5 місяців тому

      Yep free is my favourite price 👍🏻. It is a very cool place and can see why it’s used for filming so much. It is certainly one of the steepest slipways I’ve seen. Thanks for watching Alan. Glad you liked it. Have a great weekend. Hope you both shake off the bad chests soon. 👍🏻🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️

    Great tour of Charlestown - one of my favourite places.
    I parked by the church and walked down to avoid the parking charges too - good tip!
    Oh gosh yes, sorry to say I am old enough to remember The Onedin Line! I think some was filmed in Gloucester Docks too.
    Poor Kim in the stocks! What did she do?!
    A lovely tour around Watto & Kim - thank you for sharing. I didn't know that about the doves - amazing!
    Sad to report that the shipwreck museum is being closed off and contents sold by auction - Tim Smit from Eden and Helligan fame is selling it.
    Throughly enjoyed this - take care,
    Paul.

      Thanks Paul. yes it will be a shame as it is very interesting to visit. and a good money spinner for them. Yes i do remember the Onedin Line too which was also filmed in Gloucester you are correct. Kim was constantly getting in my shots so I had no choice but to lock her up. 😃 It is a very nice area and Charlestown is well worth a wander. 👍🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

      Ah thanks so much Alessa. i do sometimes wonder if I spend too long and make too much effort as there are a lot of channels that just don't seem to bother and get massive views. I am always lucky to get near 200. Still nice to know someone appreciates the effort. Hope you are both doing ok and balancing work with getting out. Be good and always best wishes from us both in Glos Vegas 👍🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️

The views will come for you, just hope they do for us too!! Thank you, hope you and Kim are well also and looking after one another. We're trying to get some content out, but work is really getting in the way, it should calm down soon though with dreaded winter on the way! Hehe. Thank you for the excellent video x

    Hi Watto and Kim
    The UK's little town along the coastline seems to own such history and this Charlestown is not an exception.
    I like Watto's storytelling. haha we have Charleston and my mind is confusing between Charlestown and Charleston.
    Very pleasant walking tour. No seat, no hills? hahah
    Well done both of YOU. , Watto, I am going to take Kim for IFLY for mins...hahha Thank you for dropping by
