Good evening! I'd like to say an enormous thank you to everyone for helping the channel to over 10,000 subscribers! It's a milestone I've been working hard towards over this year, and we couldn't have made it without so much wonderful support from you all, watching, liking, commenting and of course subscribing :) To say thank you, we'll be having a few special videos over the period between Christmas and New Year, including a much-requested behind the scenes video! But before we get to that point, we've got a walk around one of my favourite villages in Britain: St Abbs! Popularly known nowadays as the filming location for New Asgard in Avengers: Endgame, this achingly pretty fishing village has also long been a popular draw for scuba divers! There are huts on the harbour where you can book scuba trips and borrow equipment, and that can take you out into the sea to view some of Britain's most special underwater scenery, as the coast off St Abbs and Eyemouth has been made into a marine reserve :)
A church built in 1892 is considered “Fairly New.” Here in Alberta it would be considered a historic building. Too funny. Great video as always. Thanks for the walk about.
Ha ha ha yes I suppose it's all just a bit of perspective! Of course 1892 still seems old to me, but when you compare it with the thousand year-old ruins and structures to be found all over Britain, it certainly seems like quite the spring chicken! Thank you so much for watching as always - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Ha ha it's a village that certainly escapes the view of many! If you're ever driving down into England on the A1 - the village is easy to reach by getting off around Coldingham/Eyemouth, so you may get the chance to visit some day :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Just like you've done with this video, I was lucky enough to stumble across this gorgeous village myself, and I was sure it would capture the imagination of many other people too :)
This is indeed a absolutely stunning view , and in my imagination i could and i would live there , and i will have a amazing view over the scenery at the North Sea ! I didnt know that there was the Avengers crew had filming , but i will watching the movie a second time , to see the scenes in St Abbs ! Thanks for the video and have a nice day !
Ooh certainly! The sea views in St Abbs are absolutely spectacular - after I finished filming this video I just sat overlooking the harbour for a quiet ponder while waiting for the bus - it's a place that really helps you to clear the mind :) Though certainly - the Avengers link is surprising, you'll notice some parallels in the movie scene, but much of the landscape behind St Abbs is edited with special effects! Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Ha ha thank you so much! I think that milestone may be quite a long way away should we ever get there - but in the meantime I'll absolutely be making more and more videos every week :)
Went to St. Abbs in 1989 and stayed in wonderfull hotel right by the harbour down from smoke house . Arrived late evening couldnt see much . Morning though could see sea/village in all its glory ! . Big Lobsters close by .... perhaps Hotel/BB now private house . Thanks so much for my memories . Regards yourself and St. Abbs people Thanks Dave .
Thanks for all this insight and valuable information regarding Eyemouth and St Abbs for someone who is visiting North Berwick shortly and who may be bussing it to Eyemouth/St Abb's.
@@LetsWalkUK I actually get tips for when I visit these places. I just went to Scarborough and watched your vidbto get an idea of the lay of the land. I love the north east coast, I wild camp along it all the time. Filey Brigg last week in the fog :)
😊 Ahhh thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos, your lovely words really mean a lot in helping me to make more from all around the country :)
It certainly is! A beautiful place to take in the greatest of Britain's seaside scenery :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
What a pretty wee village but did we see even a single person on our walk? Good to see that the shop is hanging in there. I hope the local population support the shop but I would imagine they drive to the supermarkets for 99% of their shopping. Didn't see any sign of a pub or hotel and a quick google search didn't reveal any either. I'd have to guess that the holiday homes are mostly retired folks. For a village that relies on the tourist trade, there don't seem to be many opportunities to spend money. Enjoyed our walk though - Merry Christmas.😁
It's a gorgeous village - and as you mention one without many of the classic amenities of a big tourist attraction! In the winter it's much quieter, you might have caught the figure of a few people working on the harbour, as well as a couple of people out walking the dog! But in the summer, the village can get nice and busy - and the two cafés in town along with the village shop are the places where many go to quench their thirst - it's a busy trade that serves St Abbs well in high season! Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄
WOW.. what a beautiful place to live I'm sure.... fantastic video 👍 as always.... Congratulations 👏 on 10.000 subscribers and still rising... Bravo....
It certainly is a gorgeous little village! One of the loveliest places I've visited on the British coast - though we've certainly been to quite a few on the channel so far :) Thank you so much for watching and for your wonderful support on the videos - I'm so grateful that you've helped us to reach the big 10,000!
Nice walk today in the village of St. Abbs on the Scottish border on a sunny day. Very beautiful and historical the medieval buildings and houses are. Your history lessons are always great and your walks are always enjoyable. Can't wait to see more soon. How is your weekend going? Mine is going great. Have a great day greetings from Canada 😀
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - certainly St Abbs is an achingly gorgeous place full of captivating history :) I had a lovely weekend too, thank you very much!
In all honesty - I hadn't either before I stumbled upon it on this very day! The bus took me to St Abbs and I'm so glad to have found the village - it's such a gorgeous place and a wonderful example of traditional fishing community :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it an informative watch!
Ha ha I didn't know that St Abbs appears in the shipping forecast! But if the reading is at St Abbs Head, then that will be the headland just to the north of the village, where you'll find the lighthouse and the site of St. Ebba's alleged monastery! Though it's a bit of a walk from the centre of St Abbs, because you have to go back inland to avoid the cliff edges :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and do stay tuned for those special uploads!

We live in Scotland and I’ve never heard of this beautiful place it’s so pretty, love the harbour.

Thank you for a beautiful tour of St Abbs. I've never heard of it before and without this video I may never have come across it.

Lovely , sleeping beauty
Never heard of St Abbs.Thanks for the education.

Great place for a walk, and a lovely video! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - certainly St Abbs is a gorgeous place to take a seaside stroll :)
to me St Abbs means the St Abbs Head in the Shipping Forecast .... whereabouts do the readings come from?
looking forward to your special videos XX
Ha ha I didn't know that St Abbs appears in the shipping forecast! But if the reading is at St Abbs Head, then that will be the headland just to the north of the village, where you'll find the lighthouse and the site of St. Ebba's alleged monastery!

Absolutely beautiful village and the cliff top walk known as St Abbs head along to Pettico Wick is stunning 😍 👌
Lovely little town see why the scots so proud.
Very interesting 1st time of seeing your videos why a written commentary ¬ spoken?
Wonder why they have conned off the top of the steps that take you down to the harbour........
👋🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🍻🍻👌
Ha ha and a very Merry Christmas to you too! I can't wait :)
Thank you so much for watching!
The holiday home mob have damaged the place but it's no different to many other coastal villages..an unfortunate fact of life.
