Are you live sunday
Morning Tim. See you tonight live
Great video Tim, you did Clacton proud. You made it look like a nice place to visit, couldn’t have been easy so well done lol
@@debbiesaunders1815 🤔 huh it is nice, but like most seaside resorts has suffered from years of neglect. Now we are having Stay - cations there is a little bit left in the pot… So we are trying to clean up Clacton!
I've lived lots of places in England, been in Clacton for 3 yrs now and it's better than a lot of places I've lived so ignore all the negativity, Basically, don't judge what you don't know👍
agree Todd
As someone who has lived in Clacton all my life I thank you for showing how great it really is 🙂
Any time!
Same here!
I love Clacton and so does the missus and our grown up kids
Looks lovely 🎉
@@kezeveritt-bronze8920 now you got a great MP who will make yr town famous.good luck to clacton
Spent 17 years living here and admittedly it took a nose dive at one point. But the hard work of the locals and businesses are certainly bringing it back to life again...
agree !its not that bad
Clacton is a nice resort. I love it and enjoy visiting it when we stay in East Anglia as a day out. We are from Manchester and even made it rain in Britain's driest town St Osyth by driving through it😁
We went there last week for the day and it was lovely. The gardens are absolutely beautiful. The nicest gardens I have seen anywhere. We had a lovely day.
Agree see its not that bad polly
I can think of tons of so called seaside resorts that pale in comparison. I've never been to Clacton, but from what I saw in this video I'd be quite happy to take a day or two out there.
nice !you should Jeff
I spent most of my teenage summers in Clacton because I had a family member who owned a caravan there. And once i stated working my friends and I would hire a caravan there too while others opted for Spain or Greece etc. But we had so much fun in clacton we wouldn't have gone anywhere else. Lovely memories .looks a little different today mind!
Lol thanks for watching Jenna, yay loving the positivity for Clacton
I remember Clacton On Sea Butlin's back in 1970's. Happy memories and a nice walk down memory lane. Watching your videos makes me want to rediscover the Great British seaside again.😃
Thanks .. well you should
Maybe I am wrong but I still don't understand why it was voted worst seaside resort. It all looks fun, clean and in general a great place to visit. Baffled me!!! nothing better than hearing the ocean waves. I dunno why but I find it so relaxing. Another great walk with Tim.
I totally agree!
@@WalkWithMeTim thank you. Much appreciated.
I live in Clacton and it’s a really nice sea side town, great day out for anyone to enjoy, highly recommend people visit and see for yourself what it’s like.
Totally agree!
Am coming
Why was it voted the worst seaside town?? It looks absolutely beautiful with plenty to do! Whoever voted it the worst certainly hasn't been to my hometown of Ayr in Scotland. We have nothing apart from the beach and the Low Green (a huge piece of land) which our council want to build more flats on! Honestly jealous of Clacton!
lol I guess people who live there and get bored ???
@@WalkWithMeTim they should book a holiday here in Ayr.... They'd die of boredom lol although, I will admit our sunsets from Ayr beach are absolutely beautiful
It’s not as nice as other southern seaside towns if that makes sense. Essex is probably the most deprived county in the south so it sticks out as a dodgy place. I’m sure there’s worse areas
Ooh the seafood platter looks very good I can imagine how lovely it would be to sit right at the end of the pier where it's quiet watching the Sun going down, eating Calamari Rings!
Ive done the Titanic thing when I was on a ferry 😂 standing at the end with arms outstretched like Leonardo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet!
Very pretty Seafront Gardens.
Clayton on Sea looks lovely I haven't been anywhere in Essex, I didn't even realize Essex was by the sea.
Seeing so many new places Walking with you Tim😊
lol essex is by the sea so is Norfolk and Suffolk :-)
@@WalkWithMeTim Ah I got 2 right! I knew Cromer was by the Sea as I stayed there for 4 weeks with a friend when I was 21 I remember walking down Cromer Pier & we went to the main Shops in Norfolk, it's 23 years ago since I went but I seem to remember alot of Churches & Chapels in Norfolk like on every corner & I remember going to a Nightclub in Norfolk with a revolving dance floor which was crazy after a few drinks!
(Or that might of been in Leeds that Nightclub I can't remember now! lol.)
But I didnt know Suffolk & Essex were by the sea!
Geography was never my forte!
Clacton looks really nice - I don’t understand why it was voted the worst seaside resort. I’ve never been but I feel like I would like to visit after watching this. Thanks Tim😊
I think it's has its problems like any seaside town
I went last week and i used to go when i was young. I can see why people voted it the worst. The town centre is crap and pound shops and dodgy people. The food in the places we ate in were not great. The pier was ok actually. The beach is nice but most places are more developed and more to do. You can easily do everything in one day in Clacton. It needs work and regeneration. It is worth investing in the infrastructure. I have wonderful memories of when i was younger. Nightlife isnt the greatest.
but like every seaside town it has its problems
@@WalkWithMeTim Yes i agree with you, but i can see why people are a bit brutal about it to. It was a fantastic place growing up, so it is a shock to see it now. I think that was my main thing. I know its harsh but it wasnt just me that felt that.
Mum and I worked out we haven't been since we lived in London in the early 70s. I don't remember it but Mum says it looks much better now. Doesn't deserve the tag!
Definitely
As someone who had been on Holiday to Clacton their whole life, I've never understood why Clacton has got such a bad wrap. It's such a lovely place and especially the people. If you're ever down by the Lifeboat station, the beach diner is always worth a visit, Andy and his staff are lovely
I don't like Clacton at all
Can’t see why Clacton should have such a low rating to be honest. Town looks a little dated but they’ve done wonders for the seafront and pier which comes nicely across in your video Tim 👍.
Very true 👍
@@WalkWithMeTim I used to live in Weston-Super-Mare and to be honest Clacton looks miles ahead of their sea front. Clacton looks great.
It is the people in clacton i live here so many drunks and horrible youth ruin it.
1 reason about 20 minute walk away is Jaywick the worst place in essex
Why don’t you let the people know about the 16yr old that stabbed someone to death the other week in clacton town centre or the raging lunatics that run about this town
Tim, have you worked a presenter on televisiion or radio in the past as your style of presentation is excellent, so clear and easily understood, for some reason you scream Butlins, Pontins, your knowledge of North Norfolk is very impressive, never been to anywhere in Essex, , thanks for sharing
lol yes I have Michael
Moved to Clacton in the mid 60's. I always remember the seafront gardens being tended well and they are even better now. One thing the Council do well is looking after the seafront and gardens. Tim, you presented the seafront very well. Thank you.
Thank you hope u subscribed
Brilliant video, Tim. Brought back so many happy memories of trips to Clacton when I was younger, especially for the Clacton Airshow every August. Yes, the town centre is a bit rough and there are some dodgy characters hanging about, but it’s no different to many other seaside towns. The coastline, gardens, beaches and pier are amazing. Thanks for sharing - this video is a fab trip down memory lane :-)
Thanks Lee, I love when people share there memories
There used to be day trips to Calais from the end of the pier, I went with my parents in the early sixties on a ship called Queen of the Channel, I got quite seasick !
Wow .. amazing
Queen of the Channel also went from London embankment to Clacton I used it a few times in the 50s I suppose with mum and dad
Wow, that was a great video and ended very quickly. I have no idea how Clacton got worse beach award which is a travesty as it looked great. Think I'll go there next year if I can!!
Leave them wanting more lol
@@WalkWithMeTim Lol, you certainly did...
Last year Clacton Pier won a "Pier of the Year" competition. I think the Pier and Pavilion are great and a credit to their owners.
yes agree
Clacton looks lovely, not sure how it got that tag, interesting to have 2 big wheels and responsible prices too. I know the one in Scarborough is about £5, the Great Yarmouth one was £8 but to me is a lot bigger and worth it for the views. Nice to see that the pier has a lot of attractions on it too.
Yes but wierd 2x big wheels close together but different price lol
I've just come back from a week's stay there. The wheel on the Pier lasts about 4 minutes too. My little boy loved it.
Butlins in 1966 the week England won the world cup, Clacton will always be one of my favorite places and very pleased to see it presented in this video.
:-)
If you stick to the seaside Clacton's quite nice. Don't go any further into town than the McDonalds and you'll have a good time of it. Having lived in the area it gets a lot a bad press being next door to Jaywick.
yes agree
I've been a few times over recent years, I like the pier, especially since they've done it up a bit. The gardens are very nice. Sadly a lot of the town isn't as nice or clean and there's a lot of drunks hanging around.
but I guess thats like a lot of seaside resorts
Unfortunately some thing's change for the worst.
I moved to Clacton October 2019 and I am so glad I chose Clacton for me it's a great place to live
agree Jeff
Clacton and surrounding areas is really nice, this label that it's the worst is bs. Altho it used to be better when it had Oscars on the pier in the 90's. Great vid 👍🏻
Totally agree
@chris -Oscars all night raves in the 90s. See prodigy play live had some good nights there pilled out my head.🤪
@@MrPotmonster Oh yeah, the jilted tour in '94, I was in attendance, can't say I remember much about it, was a great night tho 👌🏻
Excellent video... we came from Lancashire 6 years ago to live here...and we love it...it should be in the top 20 seaside resorts and certainly doesn't deserve its reputation.
Yay some positive comments
Back in the late fifties and into the sixties an auntie of mine lived in Clacton on Sea so we went to Clacton for our holidays what a lovely place it is, I remember Steel Stella and small but lovely trains for the kids to ride on, I'd choose Clacton again we had a park and played tennis and golf putting, we always enjoyed it. xx
Tim wood you have your own TV program showing millions of TH-cam fans what you have done over time which is so brilliant to watch your channel etc ...... keep it up time .
Lol I do on youtube 🤣 thanks gary
for myself, i live in southend it also has a nice seaside but Clacton actually way better
I love them both!
@@WalkWithMeTim im from clacton now live near southend!clacton wins all day long much better seafront and pier than any other seaside resort in britain fact
HeyTim, maybe you could do a special with a map of all the places you`ve been to so far (within the UK and worldwide and show your highlights, best impressions and memorable moments)?
And yes. I`m bingewatching your videos. 😂😂
Clacton is a really lovely friendly place to have a holiday! Weve been there numerous times and always gave a great time,especially if you're on a budget holiday! Some people just dont know how to enjoy themselves and getting toii fussy and spoilt!
Totally agree!
Warm sand between your toes. That would heaven. Lovely sand and 2 Big Wheels. That is great for everyone. Kids laughing and big kids too. Wonderful walk Tim.☀️
Yes 2 big wheels and 2 different prices lol
@@WalkWithMeTim why is the price different? I have to say Tim it is very nice there I thought . Don’t think it is the worst. I loved this walk.Thanks and tell Gaby hello. Have a wonderful week Tim.
I can't help having a few tear's in my eye's
as I watched the video, which bring's back happy memory's of my life in Clacton.
Thanks for giving it a watch
You're welcome!
Clacton was my very first chance booking/seaside place alone on holiday back in 2017 & I had a great time. Especially enjoyed my early morn runs along the Esplanade & cinnamon doughnuts with a hot chocolate. Yum 😋
We visited Clacton on day trips during the last summer before the lockdown. The pier, beach, and gardens were all good. However, the Town Centre was a tip with drunks, druggies and beggars congregated in and around the High Street, and good restaurants and quality shops were few and far between. These days there is more to a day, or longer, at the Seaside than Fish n Chips, Burgers, and tatty gift shops. Those charged with regenerating Clacton should take a trip to Brighton to see how it's done.
Unfortunately we have two major points where drug addicts and alcoholics gather… one is supposed to be called Christmas Tree Island - we call it STRONGBOW SQUARE.
The other one doesn’t have an official name but is known as Kronenberg Korna!
The police just turn a blind eye to the problem, and in the main these ppl are harmless - except the the entrance to our flats is used as a local urinal/toilet - yes number 2s have been found!
It’s also a ‘brilliant’ place to ‘Jack up.’
We regularly have to clean the alley of all sorts, needles, alcohol bottles, urine and number 2s!
I have made a comment about you coming to Clacton, but you have been, and missed several interesting things! Give the locals a heads up and we can tell you all, well most, anyway of the important bits you missed, we keep Clacton to ourselves! Just rewatching it now…
I’ll update in a separate msg!
Love from your newest follower! Carolyn.
do let me know as I will return in the summer
The last time i went to Clacton on sea was in 2012 i was supposed to be going this year but because of the problems at the hotel i couldnt go but hopefully next year i will go i still miss my home town Clacton is my home and i still love it
yay! carol I love Clacton
Amazing video for a not much famous place. I am sure it will be much popular in coming days.
Suggestion- it will be great if you add some information of price (ex- entry to water park, rides, beach huts, beach side tourist train, food stalls etc), also if you add information on how to commute to the beaches, which beach is best, may be a sort of how to cover the place, best area to stay, how many days…..this way the videos will be of great information to more and more users to plan.
Noted
Moved to little clacton from hornchurch 3 years ago n love it here
Its such a great place and doesn't deserve the bad rap
Make's me homesick, as I was born in
Clacton and lived there with my parent's
before leaving England to live in Mauritius, as my dad was of Mauritian
origine.
make sure you check out the other one I did too
Wow wow wow its beautiful. Who ever did the bad remarks must be one hell of a miserable person ,lovely x clean ,like the oldish side .so clean x well painted. Well done clacton. Xxx the Bellamy's. in the Midlands xxx
agree John!
I live on Martello Bay so its nice to see it being praised :)
😉 yes!
I visited Clacton yesterday (1 Jul 2022). Pictures taken uploaded to Flickr. The sea front and gardens are nice.
Hi Tim ! Really don't get why it's voted the worst seaside town. It looks really nice definitely dosent deserve that label. Great walk looked lovely there . Thankyou for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Me neither Tracey but each to there own
Honestly I go there once every two weeks and it's the best thing ever I have an annual pass on the peir and everything it's so beautiful and there's so much too do I never get bored
yay! some positivity for Clacton
I spent my early years in Manchester so the seaside was always a holiday treat - I always get a thrill going to the seaside - spent today at Saltburn - had chips, ice cream the lot - really nice weather too. When I moved to Christchurch I worked in Bournemouth and I always went via the Overcliff Drive and Boscombe pier because I loved the novelty of driving by the sea to get to work. Clacton looks ok tbf - I don't think I have ever been anywhere in the UK by the sea that was awful.
Lol they all have there ugly spots
It's a lovely place to have a holiday, we always enjoyed our holidays when we were younger It's a better resort than Skegness Clacton gets a thumbs up from me. X
I totally agree!
I grew up here, from age of 4 to 23 years old.. Love it.. still visit my parents who are there, I now Colchester, but Love Clacton..!!!
its a great place
I went there around 50 years ago. Nice then and looks nice now.
agree!
Wow Tim, I saw and discovered more about Clacton by watching your video than I have done in 20+ years that I've worked there!!
really ..lol
Beautiful and well maintained gardens . I can just imagine something so refreshing at Coney Island . NOT ! Thanks for posting.
But are not the formal gardens - while well maintained - very dated for a town in 2000 and 22?
That was such a pretty place to go visit..under the Pier looked pretty new/clean compared to other piers u have been under that looked old, scary to go under.thanks always for yr walks and talks 👌
Thanks Alicia, hope you subscribed
I live about 6 miles away from Clacton-on-Sea and always have done , it's it's funny seeing where I've grown up shown in such a nice light !! Makes me think I should actually visit the pier, haven't been in years
Awesome video. Lived in Clacton until 1977. Now in Canada. Love visiting when I am able.
Glad you enjoyed it
I had to watch this as we’ve been going for years. We have a caravan about 15 min drive from clacton in st Osyth.
If you walk in the opposite direction to where you went there is the most beautiful Sandy beach.
We couldn’t believe we only discovered it this year. On a sunny day it didn’t feel like we were in the U.K.
There are so many activities for families to do within 15 minutes from clacton.
yes Sarah some positive comments for clacton
Lovely place and video.
Really good to see it again courtesy of you Tim.
I used to go there a lot as a child when I lived in Southend-on-Sea, where I was born.
Thank you for this walk 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Christine , thanks for watching
@@WalkWithMeTim
🙂
Went here about a decade ago a few times with my mum. Really liked the experience. Unfortunately didn't have the money at the time to enjoy all of the attractions, but maybe if I go back to the UK someday, I will be able to enjoy it more.
I would guess it's low rating would be because the places where people actually live are rougher than the seaside area, and because of it's proximity to Jaywick.
Enjoyed the trip down memory lane!
looks amazing.
i'm from essex but cant recall ever visiting clacton. maybe because we lived 20 minutes from southend.
no been living in sweden for nearly 20 years i miss these wonderful seaside towns. we have nothing remotely like these here.
my son was 1 years old when we moved here. just showed him this video. oh wow dad that looks amazing.
dont take these things for granted. too many in the world the uk has the best coastal towns in the world.
great video.
cheers
thanks Steve, means a lot
We used to have sand in Southport too. Clacton looks great, I might go there on holiday, looks better than here.
You should!
I know Clacton well. I used to drive there with my late father. He was a Cockney, so felt well at home here. The gardens were always wonderful. We used to have a beach hut in Walton on The Naze, but sold it as Walton started to decline. I live in Spain now, the Spanish equivalent of Clacton is probably El Campello. A slightly run down seaside town, but with the Spanish sunshine.
Never been to Clacton On Sea, so looking looking forward to seeing what it's like
Hope you enjoyed it
@@grahamecrump4346 don’t be so silly
I used to live there and it’s not that bad. All seaside towns are dated and needing money putting in to them, the pier has had a significant amount put in over the last year zxx
totally agree Kate!
I live just down the road from clacton on sea. It is alot better than places like Blackpool in Lancashire which I think are very overrated.
Amazing video my friend.. Thanks for sharing.. Stay connected. Guys
Thanks
IM 60 been going to clacton since i was a kid still go there every year for a week its better than yarmouth hastings southend and Brighton will go every year until i no longer can i highly recommend clacton
yes agree Steve! its a great place
I literally live 30 mins bus drive to Clacton, I kinda grew up there with my college mates etc, it's a really nice place especially when it's Christmas time, they get all the Christmas events up in town and in the pier too, looking forward to it!
Sounds great!
Love this video. Subscribed to your chanel. Some of our family have a place not far from the seafront in Clacton. Beautiful, sandy beaches and you can have whole stretches to yourself if you venture a little further from the pier. The gardens are beautiful too. We've been back twice this year and will probably head back this Autumn too. ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
hi ... Clacton On Sea is a lovely place in the summer... in the winter is dead lol but if we are talking abount pier... is one of the best at the moment in uk and owners still looking for something new!! so defo will be the best pier for the next few years... for me is a really nice place!
agree .. like any place in the winter its not the best
@@WalkWithMeTim if u like traveling go to Poland in the winter is really nice! snow good fun for kids and cheap! nice video by the way...
Hi Tim
I was in Clacton earlier this year..it's a wonderful place to go and take children.
Hot doughnuts on the Sea front always delicious.
Yes I love Clacton
the gardens are amazing x beautiful xxx
very true
Very happy to be traveling with you. It's a nice way to see and experience the world. Thanks so much!
Lol
After seeing this I thought I'd have a day out in Clacton. All in all it was pretty good on the pier and seafront and I enjoyed the gardens which I probably would have missed. I did find the town centre quite run down and scruffy and they obviously have a problem with seagull deposits everywhere. But overall no worse or better than any other faded victorian seaside resort.
Then again, are not the Seafront Gardens looking a bit tatty and in need of a make over? While the formal garden is colourful, does it not look like it is set in 1822? As for the bushes and planting in the informal garden, do they not need thinning to open up a link between the town and cliffs?
Never visited Clacton, however, I love the dated feel of the place. Very quaint indeed. 😀
Indeed 😉
At least its still got the railway station. Some seaside places in Norfolk probably never recovered after losing their rail line back in the beeching cuts
hasn't most towns tho?
@@WalkWithMeTim yes you would be right in Norfolk. Only one far from a railway is Hunstanton. I would imagine caister would of benefitted
I love Clacton I use it for my place of rest and depression getaway ❤
Wow looks the best its ever been, although ive not been since the early 90s when we used to drink in the Cockney Pride on the pier. There was a small railway called the crab and winkle line that used to take passengers from somewhere around Tiptree to the coast south of Tollesbury where you could get a paddle steamer to Clacton pier. You can still see the remains of the Tollesbury pier that was blown up to stop Germans landing in WWll.
Thanks for the tips nick
There are so many other seaside towns that deserve that title, before Clacton does. The investment on the pier and pavillion over the last decade has made them both great attractions. Cleethorpes or Mablethorpe for example, deserve that title before Clacton.
I think it depends on who u ask
@@WalkWithMeTim my parents are from Clacton, so I've got lots of happy memories there visiting grandparents in summer holidays etc, so maybe I'm being biased 😂😂
We come to Clacton every year - the seafront is beautiful and the pier is fantastic, it feels like you slowly walk through its history as you walk from the newly refurbished arcade and rides to the old buildings at the very back.
It took me 3 years to move from Birmingham to Clacton, i've lived here for a few months now...
I have never been so bored in all my live, there's nothing down here.
All the shops are the same as Birmingham, their's one road of arcade which seem to always be empty.
The pier looks like it's about to collapse, the ferris wheel is nothing special.
Considering it's a holiday town... were is everyone, the place feels like a ghost town.
I've decided to go back to Birmingham.
It's true what people say "You don't realize what you had till it's gone"
The town itself does need some modernisation but the amusements are terrific. I had great fun visiting earlier this year.
Yes agree but seafront and beach is great
I live in frinton 5 miles from clacton those gardens look amazing. I loved your video. Great to see your take on clacton glad you liked it.
Thanks for watching!
I live near clacton and am amazed it got voted the worst. As you can see the pier, beach and gardens are lovely. And it's always absolutely packed in the summer, so someone must like the place lol.
Absolutely 💯
Generally people from Romford and Dagenham are the ones who like the place.
Great video nice pier and arcades in abustane who rates it the worst ever I think it's picturesque
Haters lol
My family are from posh old Sevenoaks and we absolutely LOVE clacton pier! My kids LOVE it! We’ve been going for 8 years minus lockdown… definitely recommend if you have kids 👍
Being from Colchester, I've spent a lot of time here. The place is rough if you wander too far from the seafront. It's good enough, but I wouldn't want to spend a night out here lol
but thats like most places
Great tour )) We love to explore the old seaside piers :o)
Yes they are so much fun
Clacton is a lovely little holiday destination, yeah ya will get trouble if you look for it but in general nothing wrong with it ...... Besides them charging £2.50 for 4 Doughnuts lol.
agree! its lovely
It does seem to have improved a bit. Came here for the Clacton Hockey Festival in the 80s and 90s which was a lot of fun. Sadly, I see it was scrapped back in 2001. Remember a big yellow track rollercoaster in the 80s.
Yes that yellow coaster was great
@@WalkWithMeTim the clacton pier whirlwind
I live in Clacton and it’s honestly an amazing place👍
Yes some positivity
Using "worst seaside resort" is highly commendable for a keyword/clickbait approach to your video. Though during your entire vlog, you thoroughly enjoyed it. Perhaps a more self found description would be much more appropriate. I think deep down inside you feel that you really should edit the title to describe how you really feel about it, not letting others decide if it is "worst". Great vid, very smooth and flowing. thumbs upped & just subbed :)
lol thanks however it was not click bate as was in a recent WHICH survey and I wanted to highlight that its not .. hence the question mark
Beautiful clacton on sea. I wish i was there right now! 🙏☀️🤗🌞⭐😎🙋♀️
You are ... virtually
I just been on holiday there in the middle of September for a week had a great time weather was fantastic but thought it was strange to have two big wheels next to each other
Totally agree
I live in Clacton. Wasn't expecting to see this pop up on my TH-cam 😂 as for the two wheels. You have one at the Pavilion Park and one at the pier. Both owned by different people who are competing with eachother
and 2 different prices lol
The last time I went to Clacton the A12 shredded one of my tyres so it did put me off but it is nice place for a day out.
I commented on the video referring to Clacton as one of the worst towns which was wholly inaccurate. Clacton has its faults in common with all the other seaside towns in the UK. My wife and I like to walk the length of the promenade in the morning before all the daytrippers arrive, stopping in a roadside cafe on the way. even the walk through the gardens, which are not what the were but are still worth a look.
Yeah here in Clacton it’s amazing I don’t know why it gets so much hate but that doesn’t change my opinion that I love my home
agree!
