When I was a kid Smeaton's Pier was full off old fishermen mending nets, they all drank in the front bar of the Sloop. I met Precious McKenzie and his family and Joan Collins on Porthmeor Beach that year. I remember the hippies beachcoming 1968. My Father had friends who owned a dairy farm, the Rodgers family in Hellesveor. When I got older I worked on the farm in the summer. The ice cream back then in Hart's was to die for.

I’ve been to St Ives many times. It is my favourite place. Thanks for the lovely video, next time you go you must visit Porthmeor beach (especially at sunset) and walk round The Island, in my opinion the most scenic part of St Ives. Not been for 5 years and suffering from st Ives withdrawal symptoms! Glad to see the Beach Restaurant is still on the harbour - one of the best places to eat.

Really enjoyed this. My parents loved it here and made the overnight drive down, every year for our holidays. Happy memories. If you do make a return visit you need to explore the back streets with all the old fishermens cottages, quite a few have unusual names. As for a boat trip, i strongly recommend a trip with Wavedancer which is owned by a good friend of mine who is one of the lifeboat crew and very knowledgeable about the area.

Hope the beer was nice and cold? The Sloop maybe,which is my favourite such a characterful pub, great restaurant upstairs,Captains Cabin. The Talay Thai is exceptional tasty food. For travel, forget the car,use the park and ride at St Erth and get on the train. For many the best most scenic section of railway in the country. Well done Neil!!

I think Land's End is the most westerly point on mainland Britain not the most southerly ? Think the Lizard peninsula is most southerly ?

@GimbalWalkTV 4 ай бұрын

Ah you're right yes!! Is Land's End or Lizard Point the most southerly point? Lizard Point is the most southerly point of mainland Britain, however Land's End is the furthest point from John O Groats in distance, hence it tends to be the place most journeyed to.

That's because I filmed four videos - one of which is totally dedicated to the back lanes. Be baffled no longer! This one was a 'full seafront tour' hence the title of it!
