I love the colour of the water!
Amazing isn’t it
Amazingly quiet. Yes, buzzing in Summer. A lovely area the English Riviera .
We’ve spent the last 50+ years going to Salcombe, our parents lived there for a while. It’s the most picturesque town ever. People are great, location great. Would recommend all year round.
Well said ❤️
Never been to salcombe thanks for the trip
Another great & fantastic & intresting & Amazing video of SALCOMBE | Full tour of holiday seaside town of Salcombe in Devon England!.💛💛💚💚💙💙💜💜
Salcombe is a nice place to stay and walk round and visit and quiet for the seaside holiday place and thanks for walking round the place and have a hot drink
I Love Salcombe. Haven't been for 38 yrs. Need to have a visit again I think. Lol. I was 10 when last there. I have fond memories of my Late Stepfather. We used to rent a boat called a Dory, and cruise up and down. .Fantastic. Thanks for doing this Vlog.👍
Thank you so much for your beautiful videos! I so much appreciate being able to visit these places virtually-for now!
Our pleasure!
lovely seaside town
I think this is my favourite walk you have done so far. Thanks again mate
Thanks so much!
I didn’t know how this one would go down so that’s great to hear!
Hi lovely clip , forgot to add when I commented on your Dawlish post I really enjoy your channel ,brings back good memories,particularly like the fact you give a little few bits of information on some of the places past . A lot of the other u tube travellers seem to act as if they’re the first to ever go there completely disregarding the places history and people , seems the present lightweight camcorder brigade have totally forgotten the many many generations that have gone before slowly turning the places to what they are today . Keep up the good work.
Very interesting video. Loved the seaside and every side street had many shops to enjoy. Thanks.
Thank you for these lovely videos of Devon brings back many a childhood memory ,and yes salcombe is amazing in the summertime
🇬🇧❤️ Beautiful, Absolutely Beautiful.
It is!
I found it very busy with boat people in the summer
Yeah!
Seemed exceedingly quiet. Great for you to do a great job showing us around.
I would suggest that holiday homes are not good for seaside towns - I wonder how the businesses survive during the “off season” and what is your sense of community as you walk the streets? I wonder what the sense of community is in the summer?
I like your little noseys down the passageways. I’m too timid to look on my own just in case it is a private area.
The holiday homes probably drive property prices up but maybe also save some areas by bringing tourists and money in.
I usually come to England in September/October so I wondered about visiting seaside towns. We just went to Whitby this past October and it was great. If I decide I can get around by bus and train as easily I want to do Cornwall and Devon next trip
Keep up the great videos ❤️
Thanks for all the interesting info on this place 👍 and the nosying you do 🤣🤣 so keep on walking 🚶🏻👍❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️
My old stomping ground , love it
Great place 👍👍
Its park and walk most of the time, you need to be fit walking back😉
Oh yes
hi there i used to go to salcombe when i was a child happy memories weather it be catching the ferry to the other side or staying in that big house on the corner called thalassa great memories
Very informative as well as beautifully filmed
Thank you
Yes been salecombe a few times now, summer months its very busy! The short hop on the ferry boat to the other side is amazing, beaches are clean, and it kinda has a Saint tropez feel about it? Also worth getting the self drive boats out on them water's.
What a beautiful town to walk around love all those quaint little streets thanks again Neil for a fab video
Amazingly quiet as most homes are second homes, any shops close for the winter in fact the town closes for winter
Yes that’s very sad indeed
I don’t like that at all
Great Walk 👍🏽👍🏽🤾♂️...best part was....I saw NO McDonalds. Or. Starbucks ! 😅🤣😂
Yes!! How it should be!
Love Salcombe, ilost two two days there as a youngster,you didn't see them did you,nice to see a few changes but most of it unchanged
Neil you should do a night time version for when it's dark I mean I notice that place have coloured lights it would've been nice to see at night. What do you think? And also see places from a different prospective
Yes definitely
I’ve got my night camera so will give it a go
Lovely place, sadly though, like so many coastal towns in Devon and Cornwall, many of them are only used as holiday homes, something we feel very strongly about down here !
Tourism is essential to small businesses, so why not just stay in a lovely guest house/hotel and actually benefit the owners who live there permanently.
Thanks. Think I’ll have to visit Salcombe. How about filming a pub crawl in a seaside town 😊 I would love to see how pubs like The Victoria Inn is like.
Should I film inside some pubs?
Not a bad idea!
@@GimbalWalkTV Why not 😀
A great place to visit but try to avoid 1 May to 1 Sept unless you like wall to wall people and nowhere to eat at lunchtime. Use the bus from Kingsbridge as parking is a nightmare in Salcombe.
It's a rich man's holiday park. The first clue is the poncy shops and the brand new and badly parked land rover defenders.
I live two miles from here in hope cove . It’s 80% holiday homes so I hibernate during the summer months😂 unbelievably busy
Ah yeah I bet it is!
Enjoy your walks from Australia. How long do you generally spend in each town?
Depends really mate!
Sometimes a few days and use it as a base and sometimes about half an hour! 🤣
First holiday in Salcombe was back in 1970 when there was a thriving local population. Been back many times since, last stay being in 2020. Noticeable how over 50 years, holiday homes have grown and the local population declined. Fascinating to see what it looks like in January. Will be interesting to see how the experiment in Whitby to limit holiday homes turns out.
Really enjoyed this, thsnl you...myu fsmily vidited every yeasr from the 50-60`s and sfter my schoolingm dsd wss ststioned st bot hesd but didnt i usded to walk all the way from ...where the rsd comes down pasr a cg]hirch.. a frisnd lived in island street i wssused to walking round the front by the estusry all the wayu round THEN wssnt it the old marine hotel..thre smells walking past but seeing neew videos hos long isd thr high street i loved iy tysa i hoped tol go bsck rven reyuire threre but nbo esrky retired 2000 ill in 2014..now immobilde bvut thsnksd fr thr nenrtoty...fsscinstying such nsrrosw streegt difnt it udsed to be twl way ow..
And this is more exclusive than Sandbanks in Poole? Nice, but second/empty homes should be taxed at a much higher rate.
A. Does the tourist business ruin the town…maybe or it makes the permanent residents have a better way of life. Is there a school there? Do shop owners live in the village?
B. My daddy flew in a glider right before D-Day. He was a forward observer. He called fire on his location hoping they would miss him and hit the Germans!
C. Great episode!
Not a place I would visit, however if you like peace and quiet, then it's ideal....well filmed, strong wind there yes?
Very’
It massively busy in summer , drinking , partying , totally active
IS THE TIDE IN OR IS THERE NO BEACH.
Not sure!
Well another good video but I’ll not visit there
Ideal place if you like sailing, ver peaceful area....would not suit teenagers
Guy in the gallery near the Fontesue pub is not very friendly avoid

Just correcting your comment about Salcombe being at the mouth of the Kingsbridge estuary. It is not on an estuary, it is a ria which is a large sea inlet. There is no river!
Thank you!
I need to educate myself on this as I still have no idea 🤣
You'll have difficulty finding a more pretentious place in the UK.
How do you mean Joe?
Is it snobby?
@@GimbalWalkTV in my opinion yes. I live 10 miles away but the majority of local people are totally priced out by millionaire londoners. In the summer it's full of spoilt brats getting pissed up on mummy and daddy's money and god forbid if you don't own a maserati or at least a range rover.
Great videos by the way, I especially enjoyed the one of the plymouth barbican.
@@joewebster174 ah yes I can imagine that.
I feel so sorry for locals who have had this happen to their beautiful places over the last ten or twenty years.
Also the number of second homes and holiday let’s owned by folk in London and beyond has led to so many amazing places being total ghost towns in winter now
It’s just unsustainable now isn’t it
So sad
@@GimbalWalkTV I know mate, don't even get me started on St ives, Cornwall!. Keep up your good work.
Really boring place. The nearest beach is a ferry ride across the estuary and has no facilities. Few real shops unless you want to buy clothes at inflated prices. Parking, forget it! It’s just a weird sort of townie sector with nothing really to recommend it. I have sailed there and it is an excellent sheltered anchorage.
