Thanks for watching! if you like the video HIT the THUMBS up 🙂
Think you should do a vid on the royal hotel, that would be awesome. Love the vids 👍🏼
Personally I don't like too many amusements on the seafront Weymouth gardens Beautiful
Iv'e been coming here since I was little and has not changed that's why I love it so much!
:-)
As someone who lives in Weymouth this gives an amazing different view. We get so used to it, as it is we don’t think of all the little bits like a holiday maker would so much.
The raking of the beach is amazing, but Weymouth can also have an active night life at times, though you would never know what had happened in the morning, as there are AMAZING teams who fully clean the town overnight too.
Born and bred Weymothian. We have 'Grockle days' to make the most of where we live
I've often said the same thing. Having lived here my whole life, it's easy to take for granted everything around us.
Weymouth's my favourite place to holiday in the UK. I love it.
same here
Beautiful place the British coastline is stunning and Weymouth looks as enchanting as anything abroad, love your videos as i have never seen most of these places they open ideas for visiting. Thanks 👍
Glad you like them!
Iv been to waymouth ever since I was born so I can see such a difference now xx
I went to Weymouth the last 2 Septembers, i went in July this year and the difference between the amount of people wer unbelievable. Weymouth is by far my favourite place on Earth and actually moving down here in a few months.
Makaio .
We used to go EVERY year here as a child camping.
Loved it so much we decided to move there( outskirts)
Lived there for nearly 40yrs
You're moving there good luck
We welcome you down 😆
Did you move there mate?
My favourite place on earth, too! Got married here during COVID. Hopefully, being able to move there eventually!
Hi Tim - The quayside between the bridge and the pavilion is where they filmed some scenes for the film 'Dunkirk'. In the film, a fishing boat leaves from Weymouth to rescue soldiers from Dunkirk beach. In the movie, you can recognise the exact location where they filmed and even see the pavilion in the background.
oh did they .. ill watch that again
you could also see the old sealife tower in the cinema version at least, might have been edited out in digital copies
Just rewatching the Weymouth blog. Definitely on my wishlist for visiting. The sun was out & shining for you Tim much nicer weather for you than last night. The coloured beach huts & buildings look amazing. I think the Beach Huts on Wheels were mainly for Victorian Ladies so they could get changed & they were pulled out to the sea on wheels again for modesty reasons, it was risque in the 1900's to show legs! Loving all these's blogs I was stuck on a Bus & worrying I wouldn't get home to watch this video at 5pm! I just made it!
Excellent video again Tim. Us two old Bluecoats still wallowing in our very happy memories of this town and the Riviera. Love the beautiful skies in your film and the colours are beautiful. Thanks for doing this and sharing.
you are welcome mike
Thank you for making my home look so inviting! Lived here all my life and am forever grateful and know how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place!
Hope you loved your stay! ❤
You are welcome
I stayed in Weymouth summer 2021 & really enjoyed it. Exploring the coastline to Osmington Mills, visiting Nothe Fort & also a bus trip to the Isle of Portland. However, the latter didn't go according to plan with my intention to walk to the Portland Bill lighthouse. I kinda got lost along the coast path as sections of it were closed off due to cliff erosion which meant several detours.
Somehow, I ended up in a field with horses which was surrounded by an electric fence 😦 I managed to carefully clamber over it but by the time I found myself back on the right track, the weather was starting to close in from Weymouth so I had to find my way back,... I never did get to Portland Bill ☹️
I did find an unknown area surrounded by lots of stone carvings (mostly animals) on the way though so it wasn't a complete bust.
I'm quite an often visitor to Weymouth so looking forward to this video.
its one of my fav places
Agreed!
You obviously love Weymouth well done, respect for that I 55 and been going to Weymouth since I was 8, I live in the Midlands now my kids and grandkids go, it's our special place, I'd defend Weymouth but I happy you gave it a good review, and I can sense Weymouth is special to you 👍
and for a lot of people too
I’ve just got back from Weymouth, it’s my favourite place to go on holiday in England. It’s so beautiful ❤
Been going to dorset for 34 years for holiday when my dad was alive and mum was able bodied.and mum loved weymouth very much.
I watched the pier being blown up back in 1986! I also remember when they used to have scheduled British Rail trains running all the way down the quayside to the harbour.
Thank you for this video… I was born and raised in Weymouth but have been living in Poole (not far away) for the past 13 years. I found your video really interesting and informative, enjoyed seeing some of the more recent changes to the town as well as the nostalgia from the parts that form my childhood memories… and have just watched the Riviera video which I’ll comment on separately but enjoyed just as much 😀
means a lot thank you
I'd also recommend heading to the other side of the harbour up the hill to the Nothe Fort and Nothe Gardens where you get some fantastic views of Weymouth and in the other direction, Portland. There's also a nice little cafe at the bottom of the hill called the Stone Pier Cafe where you can sit right on the water.
yes was supposed to film but the weather took a turn for the worse
This video highlights what makes my hometown pretty. The nothe fort and gardens is also stunning in the sunshine. Also sandsfort beach and castle. chesil beach also. but yeah the main beach is pretty as well as the old buildings. Shame that theres lack of shopping really and most supermarkets are moved out of town but its still a great tourist destination.
Agree
The White Hart Tavern is a hidden gem in the Town Centre! Lovely pub was a saviour on a rainy day.
Me and my family have been coming to Weymouth every year for over 21 years!!
We stay near the Rivera on the holiday park, walk along the beach into Weymouth! Hasn't changed at all for as long as I've been going!!
I love Weymouth and now my parents don’t live too far from from here. Remember visiting as a child always a popular destination
We are going to Dorset later this month, staying i Lulworth , going to visit Weymouth, the swannery and the sub tropical gardens, love Dorset , Thanks Tim
Before watching this I remember Weymouth as a kid growing up, went there twice a year every year in the 60s and 70s always went to littlesea camp site, outside toilets , had to get water from the taps outside, but the beach was always amazing 👍
I tend to stay in / near Dorchester, this gives me chance to explore inland to Shaftesbury and Sherborne but also down to Weymouth
West Bay and Bridport are just up the road and are worth a visit! We have shops in West Bay and it’s such a quaint little place with lots of little kiosks. We obviously have the enormous sandstone cliffs which are stunning. Broadchurch was filmed in West Bay several years ago but I don’t think people realise because they didn’t use the name in the show.
Bridport is lovely too, very arty with plenty of coffee shops and a thriving market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. There’s St. Michaels trading estate which has lots of art studios and antique shops (which I think used to have a Sunday market too!).
There’s an open top Jurassic coastline bus which is in its last couple of weeks of operation for the season which is a beautiful way of travelling the coastline and stopping off along the way!
Don't forget seatown!! not Seaton 2 totally different places 🤣
a bit behind with your videos but once again thank you for the beautiful video. i am bedridden and can't go on holiday, it always feels like a mini holiday, it's really so nice
Whenever I go to a new place that has a beach, I take a small amount of sand and put it in a bottle. Every beach is different and has a different texture and color. I love picking up shells and rocks.
Great vid Tim...We had our first holiday there when we first got married in 1981. We had a Mini Metro and it cost us £6 in fuel to get there from Leicester 😊
wow well try coming from Norfolk lol
@@WalkWithMeTim I bet you didn't see much fuel left out of £100 round trip?
A nice video on Weymouth - despite working in Weymouth and visiting numerous times you highlighted some things I hadn't seen before. Nothe Fort is worth a visit - you used to be able to catch a row boat ferry across the harbour near the pavilion. I don't think I have seen you cover Swanage yet (it's a bit of a mini Weymouth) maybe worth a look.
yes weather turned so didn't get chance to look
Been there loads of times, fantastic beach and clean sea, I'll go back there one day, Great to see wymouth in September thank you Tim 👍👍
thanks eve
Wonderful video, Our closest beach and as a teenager would catch the train from Yeovil to weymouth lots of times in the summer. Going to there on a sunday with my nan and mum, a must was a Rossi's icecream and the family use to sit on the beach by the clock so we would know where to look after swimming...Now take grandchildren in the summer and they love it just as much....
Great weather as always Tim. Lovely vlog thank you looks fab.
Live in Bournemouth and regular visitor to Weymouth for about 35 years, also Swanage, well worth a visit and video, Lyme Regis also very beautiful, I'm not the most travelled person in the world but I must say shanklin on the Isle of Wight is a favourite of mine, great vid tim, would love to see the places I've mentioned in a video, will keep an eye out 👍
If you go a bit further up behind the riviera hotel there's a lovely little part of beach surrounded by rock were you can snorkel, what a place!!!! ❤️
Wow, Weymouth is gorgeous 😍 would love to visit it someday.
Do like Weymouth brings back childhood memorys when my parents use to get the Boat Train there when we use to go to Jersey. The train use to go through the town to the docks,
And wehn i went it was the first time i heard the south accent, found a lovely book shop still looks amazing must vist sometime in the future,thanks tim kind regards.
That bathing hut is pretty cool.
retro
just stumbled across your channel, as a solo traveller i think this is gonna be a very handy resource! subbed!
Thanks.. I think so too 😉
Another great video Tim. Never visited Weymouth but it looks a lovely place and we will add to our places to visit if we ever make that trip back to the UK!!!.
Our favourite holiday destination and home from home. Our 5th visit this year coming up next month, and our 6th in November!
great beach! if only this was closer to me
Brings back some memories.
Half expect to see you wonder past along Canvey seafront one day.
Lovely video Tim. Another one of my favourite places especially Sand World is one of my favourite atractions in Weymouth
Thanks Nathan
I live a 25 minute car ride/train ride from Weymouth. Been going there ever since I was a kid
Very much shows how the South Facing coastal resorts can afford to keep going (more sun), where some of the Northern facing (Rhyl)and eastern ( on the Lincs coast) suffer from loss of long-term (1/2 week) visitors as the overseas warm and fun places took young and families away.
This seaside place looks lovely so clean and the palm trees andd gardens look so cared for so much to do well worth a visit I think love your videos Tim thankyou ❤️❤️❤️😊
Hi Tim ! Just came back Sunday from Dorset. Love Weymouth beautiful beach and lovely views of the jurassic coast. Swanage is another great little seaside town you would enjoy a walk round there . Thankyou for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
thanks for watching Tracey
What a lovely video I have never been to Weymouth it was nice seeing what's there thank you for showing us tim
You’re welcome 😊
Absolutely love Weymouth was there for a day back in July, after spending sometime in Bridport.
Great quality photography Tim . Not visited Weymouth yet but this has whetted my appetite
thanks Phil! give it ago
Thanks Tim it looks so lovely great stream look forward to the next Yvonne 😊
thanks for watching Yvonne
Been going to Weymouth since I was 5 it is my happy place
This is a very attractive looking seafront. Nice retro details.
Its a nice place last went 1980's back this place is nice and clean, i love skeg but this place is really nice so pretty and such amazing views.
Great video. George the third made Weymouth famous, it was his favourite holiday resort. His son Prince Rupert (Regent) prefered Brighton. Great Statue of George !
How I love Weymouth, some beautiful memories made there 😍
Weymouth boy (well, 65 year old) and proud of it.
I stayed in the Royal Hotel over Christmas 2005
I haven't watched your video yet but cant wait to see it. i can say as a resident here, no if i lived else where i wouldn't visit here but mainly because i know the hidden bits... watching now. yes it does flood down there lol. really badly.
Love Weymouth. My favourite place in Britain. Hopefully looking to move there in next few years
Tim, the same sculpture thing is to do with sandworld which is about 20 mins walk away from there! It's really great there!
Sand*
Hi Tim thanks for bringing back so many memories.
My childhood home town!
No Punch and Judy any more.
The end by the Pavilion used to have a sewage pipe ( not sure if it still does) so not the nicer end
Another classic beauty! I love these seaside towns.
They are!
I absolutely love Weymouth. Its me and my partners go to, cheap holiday location staying at a haven. I'm excited to go again now haha
:-)
My Auntie used to live near Weymouth! While you are there you should check out Moonfleet Manor as well, it has lovely history!
Agree with the Whitby comparison: very similar stretch of harbour
yes agree!
That harbour makes me miss living on the Barbican in Plymouth :') tramline and all. Would love to see a video on my old home!
Maybe one day soon
when you show little cafes and Fish and Chip huts would be good to show the price lists. Interesting for someone like me living in NZ.
I live in Weymouth, at this time, it looks so different.
I live in Weymouth I just love living here it’s a beautiful place to live
you are lucky Chris
Thanks for showing my home town it’s a beautiful place
My pleasure 😊
No way - 2 weeks ago we were down in Christchurch and did days in Weymouth and Swanage - such a lovely part of the world not sure why I moved away............oh yes I remember now it was £££££££££
Same here - when I moved to Nth Yorkshire I was struck by how much Whitby reminds one of Weymouth - then away from the sea front down the side streets there are vibes of York
glad im not the only one who thinks so lol
Those link flowers not sure of the botanical name but we call them "Naked Ladies " in Australia must say Weymouth looks very well care lovely place
Pink flowers
they are nice! I wouldn't mind having those in my garden
Tim, Weymouth is an amazing place. Love the Harbour and the beautiful beach.
Great place to catch the Cat to Guernsey and Jersey.
Another bonus if travelling by Rail, the Railway Station is seconds from the Beach and the shops are by the sea.
I live on the Isle of Wight, it was a toss up between Isle of Wight, Weymouth or Broadstairs.
I do regularly visit Weymouth though.
👍🏻👍🏻😁
agree
The Cat hasnt run from Weymouth for quite a few years unfortunately
@@robbothegreat1368 I had no idea. I remember catching very early one Saturday morning to Guernsey a number of years ago.
@@LeeJohn70 Same here, have to travel to Poole now ☹️
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Nice to see you in our local area Tim!👍
good to be here :-)
Weymouth one of my Fav places in the world
mine too!
I remember seeing the pier & the sand sculptures in the early 60's - you could go to the Channel Islands, by a ferry service, then. The naval base & airfield at Portland was still open & ships were always going in and out. Weymouth seemed to be a bit more refined than Bournemouth, and always seemed to be busy............. Have you visited Swanage? a much smaller town, but worth a visit, with some beautiful places like Corfe, nearby.
not yet I hear its nice
I don't live far from Weymouth haven't been there for years hopefully to go there soon
Hi Tim, thank you for your stream yesterday in London
Thanks for coming
I was last there in August 2019. I love the fact that it remains a lovely seaside resort typical of the South West. In contrast Bournemouth and Poole are definitely more 'South Coast'.
What’s the main difference, do you think?
You should have gone to Bennett’s fish and chip shop. Amazing Cod and mushy peas 😋
Weymouth is very nice but if you add a trip to Durdle Door area (just half hour drive) it becomes awesome.
agree!
Should you visit Weymouth? Yes! It's my favourite seaside town ever 😍
:-) agree
Had a week there. In august weather was brilliant swimming in the sea ice cream fish and chips what more could you ask for ☀️🍺👍
Couldn't agree more!
Last time I went there was 25yrs ago, in March. Unusually the weather was nice, but a bit cold in the evening. We stayed on a caravan park on Portland for a few days, and the local chippy sold battered Mars Bars!
Is the Titanic museum still there?
Speaking of the Titanic, the Titanic movie was showing in the small local cinema and half way through the film stopped and a Usherette came round to sell ice creams and drinks! Is that still there?
The harbour and the surrounding buildings gave me an Amsterdam vibe, and it is one of the nicest seaside towns I've visited
yes a cross between Whitby and Amsterdam lol
@@WalkWithMeTim Yes, it is! lol
In answer to your title question - yes!
:-)
Love this!!
thanks sam
Hi Tim we live here can't believe I missed you. I cycle 🚴 on the seafront 🌊. The note forte is my favourite and the cafe. I work in the povlian.. And my borther in law swims. In the hotel. You stayed in. Old castle Road. Has a lovely little beach
Next time!
Love Weymouth been many times
Love Weymouth was there in July sandbank Portland bill
:-)
I really like Weymouth 👍🏻 the beach is lovely and last time we were there the sea was like a mill pond . Stayed in a small hotel , for £40 a night including breakfast it was ok . Had a lovely meal in a steak and seafood restaurant on the harbour side 👍🏻 it was very good . Stayed for a long weekend , the weather was beautiful and we had a great time ❤
Thanks for sharing
You should check out woolacombe and Ilfracombe
Hi, just a slight correction, the first set of tramlines you filmed were actually the tracks for the harbour cranes used for loading and unloading freight from the Channel Islands.
don't go along the Rodwell trail at night, creepy people are out at that point 😭
thanks for the tip, Abi.
Lovely Weymouth. I've always said the Harbour reminds me of whitby
Why does take a video like this to realise I live in one of the most beautiful towns?
looking lovely
Thank you 😊 oh you mean weymouth
