    Spent many childhood holidays at Walton, the pier used to have a small railway going along it, and in the central car park was a large market, I often remember the High Street being thronged with people. Sadly many places I remember have gone, and even the wonderful seafront streetlights with their colourful light displays are now just plain old metal ones.
    That Martello Tower used to be a bar in the centre of a holiday park.
    And who remembers the Naze Cash & Carry store? It seems to be huge to a kid in the 70s...

    We had a caravan on the Naze Marine site in 70s. There weren’t so many beach huts then and we spent many hours on the beach. Walton has changed a lot since those days, for instance the Naze tower had not been renovated and there was no access to it. your walk still brought back many memories. Thank you.

    Can’t beat exploring the coast me and my fiancée Kate used to go to Cornwall once every year as it was her favourite place to go and we’d just walk and explore much like you do in your videos Kate allways loved climbing rocks round the sea front getting to places people really should be at haha just to see what was there and how far we could go ❤️ Sadly she passed away suddenly back in July 2019 just 3 weeks after our last trip to Cornwall together :( we had 7 amazing years together :) and I’ll allways remember the time we spent together, Kate had never been to Cornwall before the first time I took her there and she instantly fell in love with the place I would love to see you do some videos there if it’s possible

    Makes a nice day out.
    They used to have pritty coloured lights
    Up by thr pier when I was 8
    Loved the walk at night to see them on the way to the rides.
    Shame they took them away.

My favourite part is the Naze and also Jubilee Field. Even at my advanced age, I find that I can still swim in the sea at Walton, it is not too cold, unlike most UK beaches I have experienced.

    Lovely video, beautifully shot & presented. 👍 - Well done!
    As a family we've had a hut on the Naze, at Hipkin's beach, just a bit further down from where you started your walk, for probably over 70 years now & loved every second there!
    Up where the church is, in the graveyard, there are 4 propellers that make up a memorial for the crew of a WWII bomber that crashed on the Naze, not that far from where the tower is.
    As a kid I was fascinated by it & a Hurricane that crashed on the beach & is now in Hendon RAF museum.
    The bomber was recovered in the 70's & if you go onto the local photographers "Putmans" website there are photographs of the excavation. The event was really tragic as the aircraft was crewed by Canadians & was shot down by a Canadian anti-aircraft battery right on the Naze there in a friendly fire incident. Oldest crew member was 26 & youngest 19. 😕

    - Just a small point but what you called Naze Marina is actually the Town Hard, Naze Marina is a holiday park and Titchmarsh Marina is up the Naze. Your Title would be apt though, having lived in Walton from 67 to 97 it was definitely time to get out, I did visit twice this summer and enjoyed it, missed the quote on the front of the pier gone since the revamp.

Beyond the beach huts and the tower, is an amazing area of geological deposits, that on this day was as colourful and as fascinating as the rather more well known Alum Bay sands on the IOW. The only downside were the London gault blue grey clay deposits that stuck to my shoes so much, that I was on the point of throwing them away and buying new ones.

Adds to the feeling of walking out above the waves. A pity the grass was dried brown by the weather. It's so much better when it's green. Another enjoyable video and I'll ignore the editing error as you approached the beach huts.

    I love the beach huts. I seem to remember reading somewhere that a beach hut in Bournemouth sold for over £100,000 for a wooden hut. I think you really need to be committed to using it more than once or twice a year, if they are that expensive. Like most things desirable, they are only available to the very rich. Still it's nice to dream.

    Was there today. Unlike in this video, the cold wind and rain made the beach a very different place. Not a day to be outside. But I went to go on the funfair rides in the pier. Had a lovely, fun afternoon in there. Love the old classic rides. And I'm an adult, but still a big kid at heart!
    You definitely should ride the Ghost Train Tim, it's really good!

      @@WalkWithMeTim Thanks Tim. Your excellent videos inspired me to make my own video of my windy and wet visit to Clacton, Walton and Harwich, which I've just uploaded to TH-cam. Not anywhere near your professional quality, but I'm happy with it.
      Have you thought about making a video about Harwich? I only stopped briefly and it was getting dark. But what I saw was very interesting. Especially the views of the ships at Felixstowe Port. Harwich seems to have a lot of history. I'm going back there sometime for a proper visit.

    I’ve lived here nearly 20 years. You can see my house in your video. On Southcliff. It’s a beautiful place to live and I couldn’t live without my sea view. But the pier is a disgrace and let’s the place down. Whereas Clacton pier is amazing xx

      @@WalkWithMeTim We purchased our fifth row hut last year for £9500 . I believe some of the newer huts and front row huts are fetching as much as £20,000 . The daily rental for huts in a similar position to ours is £ 30 - £ 40 per day in high season front row huts are generally £50 .Rates drop Sept - April as the demand falls away.This year has been a bumper year for hiring due to the number of staycations.

    Tim, you should definitely check out Sandown Pier on the Isle of Wight, it's very jam packed with amusements, fairground type rides, food stalls , little coin operated rides for kids, bowling alleys and an indoor crazy golf coarse. I've been on there myself back in August 2015, it looked quite something in comparison to most piers I've seen

    I'm really enjoying your walks. Looking forward to seeing a lot more. British Seaside resorts really are quite unique. I'm a huge fan of British Seaside Piers, something we miss living in Oz. What are your plans for this channel? I'd relish the opportunity to see ALL the British Seaside Piers and to have them recorded on video before any more are lost. Thank you for taking time to present these walks, you really are very good at this.

    Great video which gives a good view of Walton on the Naze except you missed the really interesting beach at the Naze! It's apparently of international geological interest with rare soil - lots of fossils too! PS The pier is in the process of being renovated and is now very different inside. No rides yet, plenty of slot machine type amusements pouring out tickets to exchange for prizes. It's enclosed now and very dark inside rather than having the open walk way through.
