- TOTNES | Exploring the beautiful town of Totnes Devon from the town centre to the castle! Is this the prettiest town in England? Totnes isn't your average Devon town. It's a visitor and tourist attraction filled place that blends medieval charm with a thriving modern art scene, and a labyrinth of quirky shops.
Nestled at the head of the River Dart, Totnes is a great Devon tourist destination that offers a unique blend of historical intrigue and scenic beauty, making it a delightful place to explore. Totnes Town Centre is a fantastic place to shop, eat and drink too.

Indulge your senses at Totnes Market: Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of Totnes Market. Browse stalls brimming with fresh local produce, handcrafted souvenirs, and an array of tempting food stalls. It's a treat for all the senses.
Find serenity at St Mary's Church: Escape the hustle and bustle and find solace in the beautiful 15th-century St Mary's Church. Admire the intricate stained-glass windows and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

I absolutely adore Totnes with its beautiful architecture, eclectic, independent shops and a vibrant community. It’s a really lovely town.
Agreed!
I love the buildings. I have never visited before but l will be adding it to my list. Thank you for your video.
I think all the old Churches should be kept open for people to escape the crazy world out there and enjoy being in a peaceful place for a while....I'm not a church goer but cant resist checking out these places...they always feel tranquil when they're empty 😊
The last few days I’ve been to the churches in the places I’ve filmed to relax in their churchyards!
Now you are in Totnes and it is another awesome part of Devon
i enjoyed the walk and of course the city centre with the restaurants,
stores and pubs this would be my favorite part of the town it was
another magnificent place to explore thank you.🇬🇧👋🇬🇧
Ahh, you missed the Guildhall by inches, you can see it through the trees in the churchyard. If you do go back, go on a Friday morning for the market. That’s the day I tend to go to Totnes. I live a few miles away. And, like you, I tend to park in Bridgetown and walk over the bridge. I haven’t been to Totnes Castle for decades. I had a temporary summer job many, many, many years ago as the custodian. In the past few months there has been a huge pothole outside the main supermarket which the council did not fix. So, Totnes folk being Totnes folk, they set up a Trip Advisor account for it which got masses of reviews. The pothole was soon fixed!
Ha ha amazing
That’s funny
Reminds me of the trolley park at a Sainsbury’s in Somerset that became a tourist attraction!
Well, this is the best video I've seen on your channel. Totnes has been on my list for years, but your video is the first one I've seen of Totnes on a beautiful sunny day! I must get over there and see it live.
So many youtube travel videos are mainly an excuse for a long selfie and silly blather with disgusting shots of plates of food at favorite restaurants. Your channel is so enjoyable without all the distractions and the captions are always welcome. And, btw, I love how the English complain about the heat on a sunny day. LOL Come over here to South Carolina sometime and get to know what summer heat is for real!!
Ha ha I couldn’t cope
I’d have to walk around with ice packs on me 🤣🤣
i,ll be walking around totnes in 5 weeks time
Brilliant 👍
Thank you
I enjoyed the walk the shops buildings and the castle you were right about tt views they were fantastic i appreciate all you do for the channel hows your you
Thank you
A bit better today
Wonderful video Neil of Totnes and some great arty shots 🤣. Lots of superb architecture, including St Mary's. I love my church crawling and churches should modernize and be used for a lot of different things. Otherwise, they'll be closed for good 😟. It looks great. Lots of stuff going on. No sea ⛵ but 🤷. 👍💪 for climbing up to the castle 🏰. I was worried about the heavy breathing 🤔🤣🤣
@ 28:35 love the Sign
Looks lovely would love to go there 😍
You should!
😎Just an idea of what we could use churches for in the future betting shops, then everybody would still be going into them with HOPE.
😮😮🤣🤣
You may need to adjust the RGB or contrast settings Neil. It's a shade lighter than usual... STILL GREAT. 👏👏👏
Was a mad one - the brightest day I’ve ever filmed in!
@ 25:18 finally a Phone box and Post box
😎
🔥🔥🔥
what day a of the week is this
Thanks for the walk. I wonder why there is no water in the canal at 3.08. ? And what is the name of the small houses in the window at 9.07?
It’s not a canal, it’s part of the River Dart. The river is tidal and it’s low tide in this video. The green space with trees which may have made you think it was a canal is Vire Island. Just a small tree and tree filled tiny island in the river. A lot of activities and small fairs etc happen there. I find it’s simply a nice place to take my coffee or my lunch on a sunny day.
@ 22:34 looks a bit like Chester
Helo ❤
❤️
What date was this filmed ? 😊
Just a few weeks ago
@@GimbalWalkTV great tour 👍
It's really intrusive filming individuals up close and putting them on TH-cam. It comprises people’s privacy a lot. Couldn't you take the time to blur out faces? Lovely video other than that. I love your commentary. Thank you.
I remember how steep and long the hill is going into the town centre 😐
It's constant isn't it!
" Why are Castles always at the top of a hill " ???
🤣
How's your knee
Still painful but I am back walking a bit now
