Great vlog👍 I hope to come back to Walton-on-the-Naze one day. I went there for a day out with my grandad when I was 11, and since then its been one of my favourite seaside towns in the UK.
Thanks for a great video Neil! 👍I'm a life-long (68 years) Walton resident - you actually walked right past my home!😄, so you can imagine the changes I've seen in the town! The undercover part of the pier has been totally transformed in the last couple of years, and hopefully funding will be found to renovate the rest of the pier, so once again everyone can enjoy the experience of walking half a mile out to sea!! 😎
Loved it there, I was really surprised in the place, i wish I could have spent some more time there and visited more of the places, you are so lucky living in such a beautiful place. Hopefully I will visit again and maybe meet up for a chat about the place, I’d love to hear about the history of the place. Thank you for subscribing and I hope you keep enjoying the videos.. Neil 😎👍
Is that your camper van? My son took pic of it. He has album full of same on his phone - he loves them. Lovely place to live, my bro retired to Frinton. We are all from Essex but close to London. X
I grew up in the north so I’m not that familiar with Essex and other southern holiday destinations all I can say is I fell in love with Walton On The Naze when I went there for a family day out. A beautiful place to visit, although I get off the train in Frinton and take the short walk past the beach huts into Walton.❤
I grew up at Walton on the Naze. Worked in the old Reggie's fish and chip shop and on the rides on the pier loved that place always in my heart.🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙 From Marcus.
My family has had connections to Walton for over forty years after an aunt and uncle had retired there from east London during the early 80’s. It’s a lovely little place and in my opinion is much better than its larger, more brash neighbours, like Clacton, Southend and so on. I am also looking to retire to the area from next year (2025.) My wife and I visited White’s, the pie and mash place, yesterday and the proprietor informed us that the area is now more up and coming due to the various new builds that are being built on old and disused local farm land.
Really enjoyed the nostalgia of this walk with you. I live in Melbourne Australia and was taken to a caravan park at Walton on the Naze many times as a child and loved it all. I was looking at the caravan park last night on TH-cam and this morning your channel came up. Easy going and well presented. Cheers
Next time you want to walk along a bit more past the pier and go see Walton Tower and the WWII Pillboxes, some were on the cliffs but due to erosion they are now on the beach and consumed by the sea when the tide comes in. Amazing stuff!
We actually visited here yesterday (why I looked you up). What stood out to me was how quiet it was; a sunny day in the school hols. I think my parents chose this (50 years ago) because of this and the sandy beach. Good vid. X
Great video, brought back some memories for me. We had a caravan in Walton in the late 80s/early 90s, and as a family we spent nearly every weekend, march to october, and every school holiday in Walton. Apart from the pier having a big refurb, it doesn't look too different. My mother and I have booked a caravan there next week and we've even snagged a beach hut for a couple of days, we're eager to see the rest of the town, go up the Naze and explore the area again. I used to love going to Clacton and going to Harwich to the see the boats. Great video man. 😀
Thank you Paddy for your kind comments, I hope you have a lovely time there, one day I will go back and explore more, I only had a few hours that day to spare 🙏😊👍😎
@@MegaEssexboy1 I know 🙁 ran out of time, I didn’t realise what a beautiful place Walton is, should have planned more time there, hopefully one I will go back 👍
@@neilrgreatestadventures Hi Neil, I live there, you can see my place in your video, up above the beach huts. The outside part of the pier is being left to rot unfortunately. Such a shame.
Hi matey it hadn’t filmed for some reason I lost loads of footage that day sorry matey, what I will do in my next vlog tomorrow is mentioned you, I will be in Skegness and I have loads of people watching all my Skegness vlogs.
I love Walton on the Naze!

Cracking vid. Pal.. Nice place to see
Went there last year on holiday, really nice. Went to the parkdean place, enjoyed it 👍
Walton is a nice place. I have never seen so many beach huts 👍😁 The Pier is also one of the longest in the UK. 👍👍😁😎
I’m on holiday there in august so it’s nice to see the new improved pier 😊
Have a great time 😎👍
Is it quiet or busy?
@@samali4327 not sure, it was a few months ago when I was there filming.
@@neilrgreatestadventures ok I'm planning on taking my dog there but will try getting there in the morning.
@@samali4327it’s hardly ever busy 👍
Great place
Great vlog as usual neil loving your content keep it up mate.
Next time you're in town - pay us a visit! :-)
Whst like in Walton as it inpoved
Looks like a really nice place to visit Neil xx
Very, definitely go for an holiday, there’s also a lot more there that I didn’t film
Going for the day next week. Haven't been there for years.
Enjoy it’s beautiful 😎👍
My parents always took us here. Xxxxx.
By the way, the sea at Northumberland is also brown. I can testify to this as I was at Druridge Bay a year ago for the North East Charity skinny dip 😂
Great Video Neil!
You missed visiting the naze tower, why its called walton on the naze
@@MegaEssexboy1 I know 🙁 ran out of time, I didn’t realise what a beautiful place Walton is, should have planned more time there, hopefully one I will go back 👍
when I visited Walton, I never actually went near the Naze tower, but it was a clear day, and you can see the tower from the Walton pier
lovely beach suprised not to see anyone swimming though
The sun was out but a bit cold in the water 😎👍
You should come film in mersea Island
When I come back that way I will look into doing it, 👍
Second longest pier in the country
It’s a shame you can not walk to the end, maybe one day 👍
@@neilrgreatestadventures Hi Neil, I live there, you can see my place in your video, up above the beach huts. The outside part of the pier is being left to rot unfortunately. Such a shame.
My daughter has hired a beach hut for her sons 5th birthday on 30th July and she paid £80.
Wow! not to bad I suppose, I bet they will all have a great time, say hello from me and happy birthday 🎂
Thank you,
NeilR 😊😎👍
You missed the Naze Tower :'(
Ran out of time had a long drive home 😕
"The singing kettle" if you know you know!
I used to go to the singing kettle back in the late sixties with my parents…
Why did you cut the bit of you advertising my channel
Hi matey it hadn’t filmed for some reason I lost loads of footage that day sorry matey, what I will do in my next vlog tomorrow is mentioned you, I will be in Skegness and I have loads of people watching all my Skegness vlogs.
