You prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
Thanks so much Tim, your videos are great. I'm partially sighted and have a physical disability so your videos give me an idea of what I can and can't do. I watched your video of Hunstanton and had a great time there on Saturday. Keep up the fantastic work!
Hiya - no exaggeration I think this is one of the best travel videos I've seen. It covers every great aspect of blackpool in such a laid back, interesting way with no hype or over excited presenter - - just fun facts and interesting things shown and pointed out. Fantastic stuff! Great work!
he should have stated that Blackpool is the only seaside resort/town to have 3 piers and i think that's in the world, well ive heard another vlogger state its the only place in the world to have 3 piers
It's great to see Blackpool just at the moment we are having to watch at home because what going on at moment we are missing Blackpool we just love it wish we were there carry on doing all your tours love your room its fantastic bev Martin neale from dagenham
I must be one of the handful of people in England that have never been to Blackpool! was always put off by its stag and hen night image but thanks to your excellent walk I might give it a visit, nice one Tim 👍
When the director Tim Burton visited Blackpool for scouting and filming ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’ he stayed at the Big Blue Hotel as he loves the Pleasure Beach.
@@WalkWithMeTim Next time you’re up this way you should do two videos. One for St. Anne’s-on-the-Sea and one for Lytham.. soooo many people don’t realise they’re two separate towns.
@@WalkWithMeTim No worries Tim, really enjoy your vlogs, me and the family have just got back from another amazing holiday in beautiful Norfolk, we stayed at Heacham Manor for 1 night and then had a week at Wild Duck Holiday Park in Belton and went to lots of great places including our first ever visit to Southwold, we really loved the town and didn't see it all, a definite must to go back, we went on the strength of your vlog Tim, so a massive thank you for sharing 😀👍
Living in the USA but great nostalgia of a Lancashire childhood in the 1950s and 60s. Who would be the first to see the tower as we drove towards the coast. The excitement of visiting the illuminations and having the car break down on the journey home. Windy and wet days on the prom and walking for miles in crowds along the front. Rushing off the beach with the rented deck chairs when the tide was coming in. Donkey rides, penny machines and ice cream. Fish and chips in newspaper and staying in a caravan park ten miles from the beach. I can still remember the BINGO jingle calling people to take their seats to play. Would not change these memories for anything.
my mum went on the pepsi max when she was three months pregnant with me lmao! obviously it was before she knew she was pregnant but yeah, that was my first rollercoaster as a tiny growing fetus 🤣
Nice place but don’t be out at night you will get mugged we saw someone get mugged and ran to the nearest restaurant and crowds it was hella scary apart from that it was really good
I'm well impressed with the regeneration shown here, especially at the south end. During stays, I've always felt more comfortable at the south end for some reason. Despite it being a little rough round the edges for years, I've always liked Blackpool, so seeing some development being done is nice. A random memory of Blackpool is during the mid 80s, there was a huge surge in T-shirt stalls where you could have naughty designs steam-pressed onto them.. Pictures of cartoon animals doing rude things!? (I never liked them!), and you could also have your photo taken with a dodgy cardboard cut-out of a celebrity! I had one taken with Rocky!
Wow my owners are in your Video Great videos Tim I found you from Watch Me Do This I am a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with a body cam on me my name is Stella will be back in Blackpool next year so if you see me say hi
I don't think this is the worlds largest mirror ball. the largest was actually at Bestival festival 2014 on the isle of wight. I got to see it and it was massive.
Enjoyed the tour, I visited Blackpool a couple of years ago for a National Flower Arranging event in the Winter Gardens, the weather was horrendous, Tower was closed & Ballroom had a function on so it was nice to see your walk today.
@@WalkWithMeTim It should be fab, the lighting of it won the Lighting design award in 2006. I was running the illums at the time. It was a Wonderful moment for whole team there.
A much more interesting place than I had thought. A quick look at your hotel was good too, even though you said it's not something you usually do. More of that, please. Not sure about the plastic seats in the room though! And the view out the window might be unique!
I was about to say that this was one of the first of no sun... but it appeared later lol... just a little something, the hills under the Pier was North Wales. You can only really see Southport from South Beach area, and south from there. That walk though was is some distance (cheated doing the tram back 😉) awesome coverage!
Lol I was waiting for a correction from your good self at somepoint ha .. its cos I stood on the pier in southport and could see blackpool ..🤣 but your right now thinking about it
@@WalkWithMeTim love the reply 😂😂 yeah, you can see Blackpool well from Southport, but you'll notice it's from behind as the tower and Big One is back to front.
As per normal a great video,, have had many a nice holiday there,, it was a long drive for you,,,, Congrats on opening a shoo selling your goodies,, you’ve just beaten me my shop opens possibly Monday... Take care,, andrew
Yes Tim it’s a very long walk but very lovely Iv done it many times thro my life . Got lots of lovely memories of Blackpool one of my very fave fun places . Knocking on abit now so couldn’t walk it now not all the way but the trams look absolutely great . Winter gardens awww wonderful went to the theatre many times And got the wonderful Shirley Bassey s autogrph here after the show Shirley is my Idol seen her May times . Every thing is looking so good and clean . Aww the Cliffs hotel wonderful . I used to also love a trip on a tram down to Fleetwood Market was very good day . Always loved Blackpool since I was a child my Granda and Grandma used to take me every year as a child . Lots of wonderful memories of Blackpool great film well done Dee🎡🎢🎢🎢🎡🎡🎡🎡
G'day Tim. We really enjoyed this video. Debbie is from Manchester originally so knows Blackpool well after visiting it many times in her younger days. She said it has certainly changed along the seafront. Have a great weekend. Patrick & Debbie Christchurch New Zealand.
Wow Tim you're really making something nice out of it all. You're b-roll shots look awesome! Nice music, good presentation and the graphics in between are also on point! I'm glad I found you:)
Lived in Blackpool / Fleetwood / Cleveleys & Thornton in the late 60s and early 70's before we emigrated to Canada . My Grandparents lived where the old permanent illuminations are and you missed the trac. I used to go to the boating on what's now the karting track. In fact a family friend owns the karting track! Cheers from Ottawa CAN
Hi Tim watched your video it was great as I can't get to Blackpool for personal reasons the video helped it felt like I was there 👍 keep up the good work thanks again T
I did an ice skating competition it the winter gardens building when I was 10 years old (1995) it was my 1st competition away from my ice skating club (Alexander palace in london where the BBC 1st started 😁) and for some reason I've never gone back to Blackpool and still havent 24 years later. I must say its changed but not much 👍
Really enjoyed this one Tim, maybe because I've been many times myself as a child and have taken my own family on many trips there too. Great camera work and you have certainly showed off the better features. It is a much longer walk between the piers than you ever remember. The cabin was known as Uncle Tom's Cabin when I was small. It had a few small kids rides including an astro glide where I can out of my coconut bag and got a huge friction burn ouch! Look forward to next week x
Hi Tim great video once again if you ever come back to Blackpool it would be cool if you could do a video on Blackpool heritage tram tours?🚋 my girlfriend is a conductor on heritage.Also the Blackpool illuminations will be starting in September a video on them would be awesome aswell.
Love Blackpool. The Big One was the tallest coaster in the world in 1994, but obviously not anymore. Missed out on my yearly trip up there this year. And yes, Velvet coaster is a great pub.
The big one was the worlds tallest rollercoaster but is now only Europe’s tallest, it has also has a sister coaster called magnum XL200 at cedar point in America and they’re the one two Arrow hyper coasters left in the world
I'm Andrew and live on a farm near Lincoln so not really too far away from you, so Blackpool is not a place I have visited for many years, I think it was 1995 so many things have changed. It has the best funfair in Britain, although I have little interest in the rides. The tower stands over 500 feet high, and there are three piers, many amusement arcades, and of course the tramway, although the modern trams are those that predominately operate, the ancient trams are very rarely used. Interesting buildings apart from the tower are the Winter Gardens, theatres, the Sandcastle Water Park, my favourites that are no longer there were the Derby Baths swimming pool, and the Stockingfeet Funhouse at the Pleasure Beach where you wore no shoes that was destroyed by fire and Valhalla was built on the site.
Loved this ...... Should be a promotional video for tourism ... Blackpool in a nutshell .... So informative .. Some lovely hotels on Queen's Promenade where the Cliffs hotel is and the Go Karts .. BUT perhaps too far from the action for younger folk .... Thank you Tim ... Paula x
Hi Tim the virtual switch on for this year's illuminations is 4th September viewed across social media subscribe to I love Blackpool on you tube , the season and including the lights is extended until January next year the lights normally switch off first Sunday of November 👍
Normally lights are switched on begining of Sept until 1st Sunday of November when the pleasure beach let's off fireworks to mark the season coming to an end ! To be realistic the season starts usually around or at Easter and finishes November
The camera work, editing, music and narration of these videos are very professionally done. I appreciate it must be very time consuming getting the facts for certain building, landmarks etc and editing everything. The tourist boards should be paying you for doing these Tim :)
Speak for yourself my friend! I've always admired Tims work from the offset, and have often commented on how good it is.Its not very nice to say viewers won't appreciate or acknowledge the work in these vids! Who are YOU to say such things??! Of course we do, or no one would bother watching.
@@gailhickman5843 Ok we got a serious offended one. When you watch a disney film etc do you think about how everything has been animated, modelled etc or just enjoy the film because if the film is good i get engrossed in that and not the production side. If it makes you feel better i will edit my quickly typed out comment. The point i was making was these videos are well made and must be a bit time consuming to edit getting facts for certain buildings etc.Obviously all the viewers think about this side of things like yourself and i was wrong. Friends?
Yo, Blackpool! Last time I went there was with 7/8 friends about 20 years ago, we stayed the weekend. We got tipsy in a nearby pub, and that's how I got the courage to go on the roller coaster!😰😵 Ain't been back since!! 😂 Great vid Tim. Thanks.X
Ha Ha, I followed you for your Norfolk videos and you end up in my home town. Good video again. Illuminations this year are on right up until January through Christmas, this is a one off to extend the season hopefully to help some businesses recover from Covid and having to close for months. Is normally the weekend that corresponds with bonfire night 👍
Lol thanks gary , yes started in norfolk which I'm not done with yet but also going to explore further, yep I thought it was a bit longer this year . Thanks for watching
Lovely video, miss coming here, visiting family in Cleveleys and Knott End, I use public transport which is difficult at the minute, can’t wait to return though. 😁
Wow, looking at the time on your tram ticket we may have travelled on the same service on Saturday. You showed Blackpool as you do every location in a very fair way, not focusing on easy and lazy criticisms. Half expected to see you head to Yorkshire Fisheries for lunch too as you did almost everything we did, BUT the view from Big Blue reminded us what a perfect view they have, Boulevard was our hotel this time and a very good stay and supper but the views from the Park View Suite can never match Big Blue, the coastal suites though are wonderful. Can't believe you boarded a tram 4 mins after us!!! Hope to see you in many more of our favourite locations
Loved this video Tim. I was in Blackpool for afew hours last Saturday to see the lights (first time back since I was 7... 35 years ago) The best cafe for food was The West Coast Rock Cafe. (Over your shoulder at 14:51) The food and drink and Staff were brilliant (music playing was great too) if anyone watching is thinking of visiting soon.
Great video mate and funny thing is we were staying in room 432 from Fri to Mon that weekend gone there lol same deluxe room and absolutely fantastic views of the park for coaster nuts like us lol love the quality of your footage and the higher grade camera and audio do show in your vids. Tempted to buy a drone myself as it looks amazing 👍
I've been once , out of season when it was cold so we only stayed for fish and chips and had a quick look at the beach and the few shops that were open on the front.
Good vlog, big blue brought back memories...we’ve been in that exact room! ....those hotels , past the big blue , were along south shore, not north (that’s what you meant 😉) ...I walked a few times from the mirror ball to the old Hilton hotel past north pier when my daughter was a baby in the pram xxx
I love Blackpool . Been many times my Grandad a Granny used to take me in late 40s and . Gosh they have done a great job bringing it All up to date . . One of my fave places and loved the ballroom .and the winter garden had lots of fun time there .. spent a lot of my young days here. Wonderful. . Also the Tower Circus was amazing 😉 luminatoins wonderful . Well worth a visit . Dee😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great presentation video with useful information but....I'm not convinced Blackpool has changed from it's druggie boozy benefits for life reputation. Been twice as a youth, never again.
Hi Tim thanks for the recommendation of the big blue hotel I’ve had to change my hotel tonight at 2am for the third time lol. I’ve seen we can get into the pleasure beach via an private entrance do you know if this is before the park opens? Also do you know if I can get cheaper tickets for it please and if so how much thanks
Loved the video! I remember years ago staying in the Big Blue Hotel and had a room similar to yours. Was great! Would love go back and see the illuminations.
Wow, brilliant video. We live on the Fylde coast and there were a few things in there we didn't know about. It was great to see the aerial shots too. Thanks for sharing
Another great video! Blackpool is a routine visit for me. Fun bit of trivia. South Pier was built for the working class, Central Pier was built for the Middle Class, and North Pier was built for the wealthy (hence why Billy Butlins built the Grand Metropole there). As time passed, the working class people realised that their pier was subpar as there was minimal investment, so the locals upgraded it using trade materials. Now, the Central Pier is the most popular due to the tower, South Pier is the best of the three thanks to the hard work of the local tradesmen, and North Pier is in shambles as the wealthy gave up investing.

Blackpools the othet side of the country. Still enjoyed it as always.
Yep takes me 5 hrs lol
can hear me playing my acoustic guitar xD (thanks for not showing my ugly mug)

I'm well impressed with the regeneration shown here, especially at the south end. During stays, I've always felt more comfortable at the south end for some reason. Despite it being a little rough round the edges for years, I've always liked Blackpool, so seeing some development being done is nice.
A random memory of Blackpool is during the mid 80s, there was a huge surge in T-shirt stalls where you could have naughty designs steam-pressed onto them..

Just watched this with my feet up and a cup of coffee. So easy to watch again , great video.

Have to say, that this is a very well constructed quality video. Good mixture of aerial and close up shots. Hotel info, also worthy of a mention. 👍🏼

I am going to Blackpool on 7th June.
Hope you have fun
I don't think this is the worlds largest mirror ball. the largest was actually at Bestival festival 2014 on the isle of wight. I got to see it and it was massive.

Speak for yourself my friend! I've always admired Tims work from the offset, and have often commented on how good it is.Its not very nice to say viewers won't appreciate or acknowledge the work in these vids! Who are YOU to say such things??! Of course we do, or no one would bother watching.

Ok we got a serious offended one. When you watch a disney film etc do you think about how everything has been animated, modelled etc or just enjoy the film because if the film is good i get engrossed in that and not the production side.
If it makes you feel better i will edit my quickly typed out comment. The point i was making was these videos are well made and must be a bit time consuming to edit getting facts for certain buildings etc.Obviously all the viewers think about this side of things like yourself and i was wrong. Friends?
@@beachlife2968 Yes, friends, lol. Tims videos get better each time! 🐻
Yo, Blackpool! Last time I went there was with 7/8 friends about 20 years ago, we stayed the weekend. We got tipsy in a nearby pub, and that's how I got the courage to go on the roller coaster!😰😵 Ain't been back since!! 😂 Great vid Tim. Thanks.X
LOL getting tipsy in a pub !? thanks for watching Gail
@@WalkWithMeTim Believe it or not!! 😂
Lol
Wow! You're starting to get around! ✅
Lol
Ha Ha, I followed you for your Norfolk videos and you end up in my home town. Good video again. Illuminations this year are on right up until January through Christmas, this is a one off to extend the season hopefully to help some businesses recover from Covid and having to close for months. Is normally the weekend that corresponds with bonfire night 👍
Lol thanks gary , yes started in norfolk which I'm not done with yet but also going to explore further, yep I thought it was a bit longer this year . Thanks for watching
Lovely video, miss coming here, visiting family in Cleveleys and Knott End, I use public transport which is difficult at the minute, can’t wait to return though. 😁
Thanks for watching jannette, remember to subscribe
Wow, looking at the time on your tram ticket we may have travelled on the same service on Saturday. You showed Blackpool as you do every location in a very fair way, not focusing on easy and lazy criticisms. Half expected to see you head to Yorkshire Fisheries for lunch too as you did almost everything we did, BUT the view from Big Blue reminded us what a perfect view they have, Boulevard was our hotel this time and a very good stay and supper but the views from the Park View Suite can never match Big Blue, the coastal suites though are wonderful. Can't believe you boarded a tram 4 mins after us!!! Hope to see you in many more of our favourite locations
Lol that's spooky we are u based kevin
Loved this video Tim. I was in Blackpool for afew hours last Saturday to see the lights (first time back since I was 7... 35 years ago) The best cafe for food was The West Coast Rock Cafe. (Over your shoulder at 14:51) The food and drink and Staff were brilliant (music playing was great too) if anyone watching is thinking of visiting soon.
thanks I LOVE Blackpool
A great video. Was a shame the dungeons, sealife and MT were missing from it though.
next time lol
Great video mate and funny thing is we were staying in room 432 from Fri to Mon that weekend gone there lol same deluxe room and absolutely fantastic views of the park for coaster nuts like us lol love the quality of your footage and the higher grade camera and audio do show in your vids. Tempted to buy a drone myself as it looks amazing 👍
Nice! .. yes and the breakfast is also a winner! Lol Thanks for watching stewart
Bet you have been dying to do the Blackpool "Walk with me". This one should be really popular. 🎠😎
thanks
Unfortunately Tim the fire 🔥 completely destroyed the waltzer ride on central pier and a work shop 😭
Oh no did it ..
@@WalkWithMeTim indeed it did !😭
I've been once , out of season when it was cold so we only stayed for fish and chips and had a quick look at the beach and the few shops that were open on the front.
😃
Good vlog, big blue brought back memories...we’ve been in that exact room! ....those hotels , past the big blue , were along south shore, not north (that’s what you meant 😉) ...I walked a few times from the mirror ball to the old Hilton hotel past north pier when my daughter was a baby in the pram xxx
No way ... thanks for watching laura

Great video and well narrated best one i've seen from Martin in Brisbane left Blackpool in 1971
Thanks martin
Worked in DWP and Lived in Blackpool back in 2009, this video brought back good memories. Blackpool is a fantastic place.
Glad you enjoyed it
Norfolk beaches are still my favourite (my opinion) especially holme dunes, brancaster and cromer!
Too shay
Great presentation video with useful information but....I'm not convinced Blackpool has changed from it's druggie boozy benefits for life reputation. Been twice as a youth, never again.
We shall see
Fantastic trip along the prom, Tim - it’s been 25 years since I was last in Blackpool - it looks more loved than in the 90s!
agree
Hi Tim Loved this never been to Blackpool. It looks well worth a visit. Thankyou for sharing with us love Tracey xx
Thank Tracy
That wetherspoons looks amazing!
The velvet coaster... best in uk
Hi Tim thanks for the recommendation of the big blue hotel I’ve had to change my hotel tonight at 2am for the third time lol. I’ve seen we can get into the pleasure beach via an private entrance do you know if this is before the park opens? Also do you know if I can get cheaper tickets for it please and if so how much thanks
yes I think they have changed it just normal time im not sure
Was lots fun also cheerfull lovely scenery
Can you do a night video of Blackpool please

Loved the video! I remember years ago staying in the Big Blue Hotel and had a room similar to yours. Was great! Would love go back and see the illuminations.
You should Nancy, its lovely

Thank you
I so miss Blackpool! Great video 😁
Thanks for watching
Wow, brilliant video. We live on the Fylde coast and there were a few things in there we didn't know about. It was great to see the aerial shots too. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching kathryn, really appreciate it , don't forget to subscribe too
Cool! I'm really enjoy watching your video on youtube ! I feel like I'm traveling in UK :) Blackpool is on my bucket list!
Go for it!
Another great video! Blackpool is a routine visit for me. Fun bit of trivia. South Pier was built for the working class, Central Pier was built for the Middle Class, and North Pier was built for the wealthy (hence why Billy Butlins built the Grand Metropole there). As time passed, the working class people realised that their pier was subpar as there was minimal investment, so the locals upgraded it using trade materials. Now, the Central Pier is the most popular due to the tower, South Pier is the best of the three thanks to the hard work of the local tradesmen, and North Pier is in shambles as the wealthy gave up investing.
I love Blackpool but some good points
It was shut. Pleasure beach. When we were there. We stayed in the queens hotel
Lol
When did you stay?
Oh wow this is Great Yarmouth on steroids
Lol
Thanks great walk ♥️👏👍🙏
Thanks
