I've been to Salcombe a few times, and it's always busy.

another great walk. have done parts of it 10 years ago. Walked from Home to sheepscombe and then across to Slad and Stroud and back home along the canal. caroline.

Hi Paul. jWorkmans wood used to be owned by the Workman family who lived in Sheepscombe and the trees were felled for the saw mill at Woodchester by the railway station opposite the wood yard. Now the windmill factory. When we were making the Woodchester layout we went to meet Mr Workman. The sawmill used to make the chocks which are hammered into the chairs to secure the rail. They also made telegraph poles for railways and the GPO. Originally horses pulled the logs on 4 wheel wagons and then traction engine and lorries pulled the loads. Where the chuck wagon is was the stables and later traction engine shed. Caroline.

This is what attracted us to England. The Beautiful Cotswolds and surrounding areas. Haven't got there yet but hopefully soon. Thank you Paul. Wonderful job.👍

A lovely seasonal walk with some beautiful photography and the colour of the beech leaves underfoot was stunning.

Nice build up to xmas this year

What a beautiful day for a walk in the fresh air and sunshine. Thank you.

Glorious. My wife and I do this walk in summer but the other way round. Always have lunch at The local pub in Sheepscombe which makes the steep walk at the back of the pub even steeper!!

Glorious walk! Your summary description sums it up admirably. The warm glow evoked by sunlight on the Autumn leaves contrasting with the shivering cold evoked by the snow and sound of icy blasts. What could better remind us of the transition from Autumn to Winter? Looking forward to another Cotswold walk soon. Thank you.

Did you actually dance in, or next to the nightclub? That was a great walk, shame the weather wasn't very kind.

Hi Paul this was a lovely walk! Lovely seeing the contrast of autumn colours with the scattering of snow! Nice hearing about the leaping lady that is Gladys! So annoying when you have to back track due to a wrong turn! Now that’s a pew with a view! Wow the sun through the trees is beautiful! Nice seeing the belted Galloways! Does look a little on the chilly side! Enjoyed coming along with you! Have a great weekend! Jill & Nick 👍

Great Walk this one Paul, what fantastic colours and contrasts between the white snow and the trees and leaves ect, lovely! Best wishes Darren👌👍👍👍

Thank you for this - I fell in love with Kingsbridge when I visited it many years ago and it still looks as inviting as I remembered. Inadvertently I had the volume turned right up and got a bit of a shock when the organ music started up!

Hi Paul nice video and views and have a nice weekend 😀

Great, beautiful video, Paul! Though there's no need to apologize for putting your personal safety first over looking at the camera. And I say this for perfectly selfish reasons, as I want you making more videos of your wanderings around the West Country! :)

interesting walk, looked chilly out there. It would've been nice to see a pic of Gladys' Leap, having enjoyed the album for many years. @6.30 is there any way to check if the marked path is no longer a public right of way?

So envious. What wonderful views

Good Evening Paul and greetings from Poland Lovely to return to one of my favourite walks we did in 2022. Gorgeous weather, beautiful scenery, snow underfoot and a bright blue sky. Fabulous!

I am glad I stayed around for the photos at the end, including the towpath cat. What a fascinating history the Stroudwater canal has. I thought this must be a pretty early one, but the Exeter ship canal was built in the 1560's. Thanks for educating & entertaining us.

Kingsbridge looks nice l liked the Nightclub too!

Beautiful wagon at the start- blustery I'm thinking ( then you said "blustery"🤣🤣) Nice replica of the Mayflower. The Autumn leaves - just gorgeous and bright. Like the (pale) coloured houses. The church has a sort of castle tower. Nice style. Love it when they are actually playing the organ when visiting churches. Pity about the rain. Great weather for the museum. ☎Oh what fun- that phone box. Good investment Paul. Nice buildings in town. Amazing clock. Lovely walk through Kingsbridge. 👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

My heart sings when I see a train corridor, not sure why! What a lovely journey.

Hi Paul, Great Vlog, i would like to see more of these as i really think it helps others. Just reading through the Comments say's it all really. i know it certainly helps me to understand my own Mental Health. Great stuff as Always! Best wishes Darren👌👍👍👍

Wow Paul, you got some Great Captures of the old pier in this one! great stuff! Best wishes Darren👌👍👍👍

Hi Paul, well where to start so i will keep this short. i can relate to so many things that you have openly and honestly talked about on this Vlog. just want to say that Talking really does help and having the strength to film a very personal video like this one just goes to show your strength and will power! Now i know that you will think that comment strength and will power doesn't relate to you but it does Paul because you have got up got out there and filmed this very interesting Video and if your wondering if it will help others? then yes it most certainly will! Keep it up Paul i find all your Video's are great! and i know how much it helps you to cope and carry on with the Daily Grind. take care, best wishes Darren👌👍👍👍

More fascinating history Paul. A thoroughly enjoyable watch. 👍🏻

Glorious views

Washabrook Lane is another lovely walk, used to look down over St Thomas' church from in-laws garden. Such a beautiful view!

The "night club" is fantastically funny! Thanks for investing the Pound coin for the sake of your art. The music really takes the "club" to its laughable best. Possibly the funniest adaptive reuse of an old phone box I've seen. Great, enjoyable video, Paul. Thanks for this, as well as all your other various efforts!

Thanks Paul. I really enjoyed seeing Kingsbridge and Dodbrooke....and the night photos. What a funny Nightclub Phonebox😁🕺. When you mentioned The King of Prussia I thought of the King of P in Fowey. I will have to find a summer video of the ferry going to Salcombe. 🏖

A nice video Paul. Really interesting to look around these 2 places. You captured some lovely autumn colours. Loved the night club!! 🤣🤣

Very enjoyable views of the charming twins which are Kingsbridge. I like the ingenious Nightclub in a telephone booth, raising money for the local foodbank. If only our Income Support and wages system was as generous as the selfless folk who operate local foodbanks. I thought the nightime images of Kingsbridge were enchanting. Thank you.

Hi Paul. Great to see dodbrook and kingsbridge. Annually there is a bus running day with 7ft 6in vehicles due to the narrow streets and lanes including those from Loddiswell. caroline.

great Video Paul, i have spent a little time in Kingsbridge when visiting my Best man who lives in nearby Chillington. it's a lovely place when the Sun is shining. Unfortunately you didn't seem to get any luck that day. Best Wishes Darren👌👍👍👍

Thanks for that video, Paul.

Mornin' Paul, It looks a great place to live, perhaps not over run by tourists? Its got some lovely features like all those alleys and raised pavements plus the quirking Night Club and magnificent Clock Tower. My ears pricked up when you explained the type of inlet. The etymology of the word Ria is Galician, the northern corner of Spain just above Portugal. Its a coastline with many similar inlets, often used for farming mussels and probably fish too. You will see rafts in the middle of the inlet which support long cables to which the mussels attach and grow until being harvested!! Continuing with the language theme, you need to be careful if you want to go to a Night Club in Spain because here the meaning is slightly different, essentially they are brothels. The surprising thing is that they are not hidden away often on the motorway or on the outskirts of the cities, brightly lit too!! All the best!!

Thanks for that your of Kingsbridge, Paul. Very interesting!

Hi Paul nice tour lots to see there 👌

Good Evening Paul and greetings from Poland A delightful video of two towns in one. Lovely churches, quaint hilly streets and beautifully painted houses in all sorts of colours. A superb walk and as usual with your excursions, plenty to learn about the places on the way. I hope you didn't get too wet and cold

Interesting ❤❤

I live in the US now. I hadn’t been home (Stroud) in a couple of years, and came back for about a week. Took a walk through Standish Wood, and it really is amazing that there’s nothing like an English woodland. It felt peaceful, fulfilling, and I really felt home for those couple of hours

A very interesting video Paul, well researched thank you. Jan

Hi Paul, very well crafted video, incorporating lots of old photos. I remember your video on the pleasure canal and the containers too. So much history there, how on earth do you remember it all!! Look forward to the next installment in this series. All the best!!

How wonderful to be back in your precious wood. I can't believe it has been 2 years. The sights & sounds are so good.

The Nine Undertakers Paul, what ever next. Fascinating history, thanks very much. Ron

Hi Paul, Great video you really cant go wrong in Autumn. Its a really unusual line, with two branches really. I wonder if they will make it down to Wadebridge? You know I was looking over some photos of Bodmin General only the other day. i was looking for photos of the Portishead branch and happened on these. We popped in on our way back from Wadebridge having stayed with my sister and I came away with some good snaps. In fact I was also looking for ones in Bath for you too. I'll see if I can work out how to send them on your FB group. Yesterday I posted a couple of videos that I prepared for the STWWW Steam Toys World Wide Weekend hosted on Tapatalk, the videos are published on youTube as tapatalk doesnt handle them very well. All the best!!

Yes. It was without a doubt the creation of the first container ship. That's a very interesting bit of information Paul. Always love the canal videos. Thank you.👍

Another heritage railway that I didn’t know existed! A very pretty run on their branch lines. I was puzzled though by the man in the cab waving his hand out of the window at around the 18min.mark - do you know what, if anything he was signalling? Thanks Paul.

What a lovely way to spend a sunny winter Sunday afternoon - a vicarious train journey- fabulous. We have a number of heritage railways here in East Anglia, one of the best being the Bure Valley Railway that also has an adjacent walking path. Thanks again Paul for the views, the history and the vision to bring it all together.

As Always Paul a really interesting and very well researched video! just amazing how you remember all this stuff. just amazing my friend. Brilliant! thank you! Best wishes Darren👌👍👍👍
