How did I miss this one! A lovely film and beautiful music as always Patrick. Kindest Regards, Martin.

Thanks for the video I want to go here I live in hattersley which a few miles from here

Bamford looks a lovely village, Patrick. I've been through the area on the train, but not in the actual place itself. The views of the reservoirs are marvellous, all connected, there's a fair water supply when full. Glossop is another place I have been to in the past, but not around the town centre. It looks very good. I trust that it is you singing, Patrick, you are talented, as well as your music skills. Many thanks for this video showing.

It's good that you managed to enjoy this particular walk without the stress of been followed by phil day like u did 18 years earlier 😂😂😂

This has got to be one of my favourite videos, you returning to the filming locations of one of the old videos from many years ago

Thank you for introducing some fantastic walks. I’ve only recently been able to get out more and was wondering how much time or complicated it would be to add a little map. The only reason for asking is I’m not confident when walking across open fields if I’m going in the right direction or maybe trespassing on someone’s land. Do you ever take guided walks?Thank you.

Lovely to see a positive view of Weston with so many videos showing the downside contrast

What a beautiful place, Patrick. I can't believe that I grew up in Cheltenham and have never been to the Forest of Dean. The mural was beautiful on the side of the house, and I really loved that round house on the corner. Houses back then were built with character, not like the boxes they throw up these days. It is great that they have tributes to the free miners. What a nice memorial in the graveyard, too. You can't beat a beautiful English church. It's such a shame that due to thieves, most of them are locked. Sadly, most of the old stations closed. Was this another one that fell under the Beeching axe? Are there still some free miners left in the forest? You are right, it is lovely to get away on holiday and tread old paths, but it is lovely to return home too. A beautiful video, Patrick. I've really enjoyed your visit to your old stomping grounds. Were you able to meet old friends whilst you were down that neck of the woods? Thank you so much for taking us along and sharing this video. Have a great weekend, Patrick, whatever you are doing.

It's interesting watching this and then looking back at when you did this walk in 2006 around the same time of year and how things have changed since then

Do you still see Michael nowadays?

Hi Patrick, great video. As always very interesting. Some stunning views even in the rain. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week. 😊👍

Cinderford looks to have som incredible buildings, Patrick. The Palace Cinema looks a real grand building, like you say one of the oldest purpose built cinemas still in existence in the country. The pictures of people on the side of the Picture House is amazing. The sculpture of the coal miner and the coal dram next to it are so interesting to see. It's another town that lost its passenger railway station, but it's good to see that there's some evidence of the railway being there at one time, as well as the old police station. A town walk on a damp day, Patrick, but most enjoyable to watch. Many thanks for this production.

Thanks for sharing such a great video Patrick, really interesting.

Great research and information makes the videos so good to watch

This is why I love the UK. Theres so so much history here wherever you look. We've only really driven through Cinderford, never stopped in to have a look. But now we might just have to!

Uau😮😮😮😮

hi Patrick.yet another delightful video.the views were amazing.cinderford looks a lovely place.i bet it brought some good memories back.some of the buildings looked amazing.cannot wait for another fantastic video.take care.👍👍❤️❤️

Hello Patrick. I have not heard of Cinderford before, but I liked the old Bristolian dialect in your film which is where I was brought up and familiar with (in Gloucestershire). I really liked your current musical arrangements. So effective and I much enjoyed the mood style.

Patrick, I’m sat here some 3 years later, watching this walk in the day of another Euro Final. Hopefully, history won’t repeat itself. Are you on any adventures today?

We thoroughly enjoy all your programmes, especially the Forrest of dean area and also the wye valley and Monmouth, keep up the good work Patrick

That was great Patrick it’s been years since I visited Cinderford (great memories of camps and fun down that way I the forest 🌳 🤠👌🏻) Best regards Simon

You’ve made Cinderford look almost attractive, much better walk in the Summer, you must come back then.

Different Walk Patrick enjoy it looks a nice place loads of history Cheers

You've got a keen eye for nature, Patrick, and made the most of an inclement day. Good stuff!

cheers ow butty

Cracking video Patrick, as always. Looking forward to the next instalment! Hope you’re keeping well

Some lovely places in Cinderford. You even saw a great ball of fire. Shame the old mining industries have gone. They were the heart of these small communities. I take it that Dr Beechings proposals on the railways shut that particular station. Neve seen a police station that old either. I really enjoyed it and it's great that children made that route. It's helps them to learn to appreciate the area they live in. Cheers Patrick 😊

Lovely walk around the town...don't know the area, thanks for showing me around.

The walk might be short, but still spectacular ❤

Patrick, a typo error, the Methodist Union was in 1932.

Great video, Patrick. The Primitive Methodist Chapel couldn't have be built in 1805, as Primitive Methodism originated at an open-air meeting at Mow cop in 1807. They eventually amalgamated with the main Methodist movement (The Methodist Union) in 1952. They named themselves 'Primtive',as they were trying to get back to the ethos of John Wesley,s original outdoor preaching-"Back To God,s Nature".

Спасибо, Патрик! Очень интересная прогулка!

Thanks for the very interesting and informative video Patrick . Takes me back many , many years when I spent summer holidays visiting relatives in Cinderford and the surrounding area . I can see my aunt's old house near the Nags Head pub on the edge of the Green where we used to play - flying kites , balsam wood airplanes races etc and walking to Lightmoor pond for a spot of fishing and exploring . A much simpler and innocent time . I could still recognize lots of places . Happy days . Thanks again !

Good to revisit places and memories. Very enjoyable video as always.

Aways interesting to look round places with memories from long ago.

Getting closer to my home area now and one of my favourite counties. Thanks for sharing Patrick.

Hi Patrick great video Cinderford town trail looks good i should imagine even better in the summer with all the greenery in full bloom and all that history ! keep them coming Patrick !! Fantastic.😎👍

An interesting walk Patrick, alot of history in Cinderford and old buildings especially the police station all abandoned, glad the rain stayed away for you 😊 thankyou for another great vlog, have a good weekend 👍

Thanks for this Patrick. I'm glad the rain didn't spoil your enjoyment of the trail. Looking forward to continuing revisiting the FoD with you.

Great vid Patrick, love these vloggs of your home area

Morning Patrick, I really enjoyed this tour having never been to the Forest of Dean ..great to see a typical town centre too and it looked to have quite a number of local entrepreneurs instead of the usual Greggs & B&M Bargain conglomerates :o)

Britain is so cool.. everywhere had so much history and character.

Welcome back, Patrick.

Fabulous videos Patrick.. I’m going round to my Parents house soon and I’m going to show your videos to my Dad. He will really enjoy them as much as I do.

A nice return to the area of your earlier years of childhood, Patrick. You chose a lovely day weather-wise to visit, and I bet it was very nostalgic to go around the villages in this extremely beautiful part of the country. The junction at Seven View Road is interesting where there is a sign-post, letter box, information board and postal box all right next to one another. At the timing of 1:44, I couldn't make out what those pointed top cylindrical 'buildings' would be, looking out to the Severn estuary? By the way, the view over to the other shore is spectacular. The villages and the countryside are immaculate on this film, Patrick. I must not forget to say that the two old churches featured in this video look really splendid, also. Many thanks for a very grand production, like this.

Hi, I'm thinking of doing the Pendle hill in October this year. How long did it tke you to do the full Circular walk ? Beautiful countryside there. I watched your video on Summer wine country a couple years ago. Thanks

Hello Patrick ,You make very interesting videos with good information about the areas you visit .I was very sorry you didn’t get the job you applied for, some young bright sparks think they know better,but experience is number one ,and the way you construct your videos does make me think that would be the same in whatever the work you did. Hopefully your father will come to his senses too , really sad. Unfortunately for me I have to rely on your walks because hillwalking is too strenuous for me now . But walking does clear the mind as it did for you! Will be watching all your walks as always! Aw the best Stuart ❤

Spectacular video Patrick! What's fascinating about the moors is you're walking through history. There will be historical remains that haven't been discovered yet. The moorland landscape is gorgeous when the heather is in flower. Incredible views on Stanton Moor. Thanks for sharing, take care, Jordan.

Hi Patrick. I hope you are well. 😊 What a fun trail. I liked the artwork and sculptures along the way. It certainly makes a woodland walk more interesting. Have a good week. All the best. 😀

Just got back from a weekend break in Alvington while seeing Tom Jones perform live. Lovely little village. Blacksmith arms is a brilliant pub. A classic pub, old decor, friendly staff, pool table, darts and very cheap drinks (compared to Dorset pubs anyway)
