Walking around local places and exploring them creates a connection with them. When you wander around physical places, you also get the chance to see it’s history and culture. I walk around places just taking in the sights, sounds, smells and feel of the place. I don’t add any music or commentary so that you can enjoy something of the experience of being where I am. You get an authentic experience of the place without needing to travel here.
I am currently based in Coventry and am always available to connect and answer any questions. Feel free to reach out to me, and if you would like to contact me for business purposes, you can reach me at my email below.

For the whole day right through to late at night, Prague Old Town is thronging with tourists. Here is an opportunity to see the beauty of Prague Old Town without being blocked by thousands of people. I took a very early morning walk before all the tourists descended. I start off at the old city gate, Prašná brána, and walk through Celetná to the Old Town Square where you can see the Church of Our Lady before Týn, Chrám Matky Boží před Týnem, and the Astronomical Clock, Pražský orloj. The walk then continues along Karlova and onto the beautiful Charles Bridge, Karlův most, which crosses the Vltava river. There are still people there at 6:30 in the morning but a lot fewer than normal!

Relaxing Walk Along The River in Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon
Many great nights in the old Plough Inn
Worked on Brighton Street in the early eighties...it hasn't really changed... thankfully!
That subway is so dated. I used to hate walking the subways in Spon End.. Used to have to put my big girl pants on.
Good walkaround. Tired of the overdone city center walk arounds! Used to go to Coventry Tec years ago then on to The Lanchester. Greetings from Arizona, USA.
What eatingo that next to my house 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Know Beechwood Avenue & Rochester Road ever so well. I'd cross the A45 near my house, then either go down Canley Road & through the Riddings or through the Canley Ford, onto the narrow bridle path between the Hearsall Golf Club, then onto Bates Road, onto the corner of Beechwood. Then I'd walk toward St. Barbara's Church, then turn right on the other side of Rochester Road, then walk towards Radcliffe Road, then Earlsdon Street. A journey done many a time over the years. Love Earlsdon, for it holds many happy memories for me.
Had a walk around my city quite recently taking photos of the old, ruined city walls, Lady Herbert's Garden & the two medieval city gates that still remain. The photo from my mobile phone came out really well despite the rain.
Many thanks for giving up your New Years Day for us expats to see the City Centre. 👍
Well done. I grew up in Coventry long ago and cannot believe in the drastic changed that have taken place. Seems that Lady Godiva has been relegated to make way for the 'amusement wheel". Greetings from the USA. Happy New Year.
Thank you for your comment. I think the wheel is there just for the holiday period.🙂
Thanks for the lovely video.
Thank you very much! I love walking around Cov City Centre when I get back there. I grew up less than one mile away and this was my playground, very different back in the 70's/80s. The centre looks spotless too!
Thanks for that lovely walk round my City Centre x
Ive looked through these gates. Wonderful sight. Imagine all the people its served in over 300 years. Such a pity that the war so badly damged coventry which must have been stunning before. Glad you can still buildings today.😊
Lady Godiva used to be a most central part of Broadgate, now, she seems an afterthought, relegated to proletariat walk byes.
Lived on Churchill Avenue for years before immigrating to the USA. Greetings from Arizona and thank you.
In the 1960s it was all English businesses. There was a Co-op (now gone, but the building remains I believe) and a cinema (The Regal). There was a toy shop where I bought my first Dinky toy, and one of the side streets had a fantastic bakery. We lived in Courthouse Green and used to walk to the Foleshill Road area to shop. My mother bought our clothes at the Co-op. As kids we borrowed books from the Foleshill library.
poor Lady Godiva, no longer surrounded by green grass, now paved in by acres of horrible, soulless pedestrianisation.
I’ll be in Warwickshire in November. Do you guys have snow in November?
Maybe! Its possible, but by no means guaranteed.
I miss Coventry; hoping to come back soon❤🌹🌹
You can tell this area is affluent by the cleanliness of the streets and the lack of crowds. Moneyed people don’t want to live near plebeians.
cannot believe the trash
Agly town!
With all those empty shops, does the window cleaner carry sandpaper?
Who remembers when it was a multi-story car park?
Hoping to visit the 🇬🇧UK again in 2023; hopefully I make it during summer time👙🌞🏊 this time around.
Find memories about this beautiful city.
You make the city look beautiful mate. I see it differently through your lens. I've never seen it in such light! It's the best vid I've seen of my city. I grew up not far from there. You've made the changes look really good. Thanks 👍🏼
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind comments! Although I only film it is at is - I think the city has improved a lot over the past few years.
@@FlaneurC21 th-cam.com/video/NgH46Kqs7KY/w-d-xo.html This film was set in the 80's when I grew up in Hillfields. If you didn't know Cov then, I hope you enjoy. I'm in this very briefly.
I left Cov in 2000, that was my (almost) daily cycle ride most of my early life. Around Foleshill and Hillfields via Harnall Lane or City Centre, then back up the Stoney Stanton Road. Great video.
I grew up on Leicester Causeway, opposite the canal. What a place to start. I love going back to visit Cov. It's a shit hole. Lol
There were gang wars in that park in the early 80's.
You all need to watch Harry Hill - Coventry Market. Hilarious if you're from Cov.

Excellent camera work! Watched from Melbourne Australia.

Thank you Flaneur for a lovely stroll and with your excellent camera work it was just like being there. Really enjoy your movies of Coventry but my legs are dropping off now 😃. I now know where to take an enjoyable walk when I pay Coventry centre a visit later this year. Please keep up your City walks for us expatriates. 👍
Thank you for your kind comments!
Make this a yearly thing. Thanks for the video
This is the 3rd one I have done! You can see one for 2022 here: th-cam.com/video/7XLL6jGX28Q/w-d-xo.html and 2021 here: th-cam.com/video/bFvboTKwT9E/w-d-xo.html Thanks!
Enjoyed th walk👍. Thanks.
Nice one. I keep asking when they'll put the benches back in, but no solid answers. Took them away in early-2020. Used to be a great place to sit and have a little think. The bandstand at the top has benches as well but they boarded it up completely because too much drug dealing and drug taking was happening in that area.
After the Xmas market bit in Godiva Square, if you'd gone down the slope of the Upper Precinct instead of cutting through the side of Primark, you'd have seen a lot of changes as well - the finished series of fountains and plant beds, etc. Or maybe you caught those in a previous video?
Yes, you can see them in a video I did here: th-cam.com/video/sTgpOTt4Ow0/w-d-xo.html
@@FlaneurC21 Thanks, sorry I found them in that video later on but forgot to come back and say!
Alfred Herbert wanted to rebuild the Cathedral to its former self but of course City planners had other ideas! Greetings from a Brit residing in the USA.
Thanks!
There's a lot more green space than I remember, will look fab when the spring bulbs show.
A bigger shit hole now
Wow, Paul is still on his flower stall
I sold newspapers outside the factory as a kid
Thank you. Very interesting. Ice rink is different, I used to go to the Birmingham ice rink every week. Not sure about the hoardings. Have a good new year🇦🇺

A gift to Coventry from the industrialist, Sir Alfred Herbert. Coventry used to be an engineering/manufacturing hub, now who knows what! Greetings from a Brit residing in the USA.
Thank you , I need this I miss Coventry
The ring road should have been built at ground level. What the heck is that strange overhead construction at the end of White Street/bottom of Trinity Street? Ridiculous!
Thank you for the walk round the park. Used to live in Kenilworth (until 1987) so often passed the park on the way to shop in Coventry. Visited the park a few times.
Thanks for your comment!
It has not changed a great deal since I last walked around there almost 40 years ago.
