My ex took me for a walk there on the first day we met. Such a lovely place

Thanks for that im going there in a few wks time fishing

I am 68 now and back in 1969 ish I used to fish a lot in Sutton park in Sutton Coldfield. There were several pools in the park and one of them called Bracebridge which has featured in several TV series and films used to have a boathouse where you could hire out punts to go fishing. My mate went earlier than I did because I used to deliver groceries in the morning on a Granville style bike and when I got there he was already out on a punt at the top end of the lake. (no life jackets in those days) SO I shouted and after attracting his attention he started rowing back to the boathouse. While I was waiting about 25 / 30 yards out near to the bank that was covered in rushes a full grown male mallard started squarking very loudly and as I watched WIDE EYED started going backwards across the water and unfortunately downwards and never came back up. I stood there expecting it to surface any moment but it did not. Suprisingly my mate one Ian Carter didnt believe my story. HOWEVER TWO OR THREE WEEKS LATER SOMEONE CAUGHT A 29 POUND PIKE FROM THE EXCACT SAME SPOT which made the local news papers. A vision that has stayed with me ever since. Sadly the boat house and the old park keeper that looked after the punts have long since gone. Revenue from punts was probably in total £10.00 a week and his wages £10.00 and he spent most of his time in front of the pot bellied stove so its amazing it survived as long as it did up to the 1980's possibly. Similarly on the next pool down the water line which was Blackroot had lots of rowing boats or canoes for hire and I do remember when I was very young a motor launch doing pleasure trips and that also has long since gone. VERY HAPPY DAYS.

typical English sea side grey cold wet and miserable, just like it’s people ..

long ago, i walked the lanes and streets of whittington till i reached 13 and went into foster care, this beautiful village remains in my heart to this day - all i think of is returning, thank you for posting this.

Was there a couple of years ago on last bus up to flat by car park and a drunk man was lying in the road and the bus driver, helped by a passenger,took him as near to where he lived as poss. Community spirit or what

We were there second week July 20. Was quiet then got busier as our ten days went on. Can’t believe we managed it with COVID etc. Nice to see thanks

Thank you for posting such a lovely video, St Ives is so beautiful. I’ve been fortunate enough to manage to purchase a small 1 bedroom place there after many many years of scrimping the pennies👍🏻

I can hear the Blackbirds, Robins, Turtle Doves and Wood Pigeons. I used to swim out to that island!

an then the virus spread????????????????

Dont they do masks or social distancing in Cornwall?

St Ives is a lovely place . But cornwall sure needs diversity in its population

I love st ives , but I see lots of people totally ignoring social distancing. Why do people ignore this when on holiday. People we can do a lot better than this .wake up!!

All those people sitting next to each other on benches, there goes social distancing out the window, stupid people!

Wonderful video! Great holiday destination

Great video! What an amazing garden you have. Such interesting British wildlife!

Nice video. Greetings from Italy :)

why ignore the rules ,we will be shut down again you idiots!

Never been to St Ives when the weather wasn't overcast and grey, this video captures it perfectly.

I see you and many others totally ignored the request to keep on the left hand side.

I remember August 2018. But it´s very empty now?

Love St Ives! You took me past my favourite Gallery too! Thanks for sharing x

Great video showing an iconic road in the heart of London

A great relaxing video. Forest bathing during quarantine, from the safety of your living room. What could be better?

it wasnt n owl it was a dove

I can remember when there was a jetty right in front of the vid little boats and canoes in the 70s,and there was a shelter in the far side of the pic
