We once had a "between Christmas and new year" holiday at The Belvedere hotel on Barnpark Road. The other (2) guests were elderly and both had streaming colds and were in bed by 9pm. We had the lounge to ourselves and one evening watched Gremlins premiered on the telly. Another night we watched a spooky, thick sea fog rolling in to the town and expected all sorts of weird activity...... ahhhhh! we knew how to live in the last century, happy days 😂 😂. Seeya tomorrow Bill.

Nice! Its a private house now - Belongs to the people who own the 'Lazy Jacks' clothing brand and have the shop in the triangle 👍👍

[@ngbarnes]

Spectacular views from the drone! When we used to drive down overnight from Yorkshire we'd park up down Smugglers for a couple of hours sleep, then head into town for a cafe breakfast before our guest house room was ready for us.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Thats the way to do it 👍👍👍

[@robcaddick]

Hi Bill, nice to have a change of scenery with a different route. Some lovely views from some of the houses. Good footage of the slippage from your drone. Cheers mate see you tomorrow. 👍👍👍

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Many thanks Rob - Yes, a nice change from the usual route, but very much on the steep side! 👍👍👍

[@harrywade5584]

More familiar territory . . . my long-time friends live in Gorway. So nice to see, if only a glimpse. At about 15:40 . . . When I first visited Teignmouth the white house on the far left on the bluff was practically the only thing visible up there and I always thought "What a marvelous view, I would love that place."

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Thanks Harry - Next time I walk past, I'll try and get a longer shot of it 👍

[@samanthabrooksbank7656]

Thanks for letting us know the path up to Holcombe has been cleared. At last! I must go for a sea wall walk soon to celebrate 🎉😊

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Cheers Samantha - Yes, much more passable now! 👍👍👍

Thanks Sion 👍👍👍

[@stratfordgull7744]

Great views and unexpected memories of a Dragon 32. I had forgotten those!

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Yes, those were the days! I had a ZX80 that broke - Then a ZX81 & a Vic20 before getting a Spectrum 48K... Learnt basic on those! But the Dragon 32 was 'Serious' computing power ! 👍👍👍

[@ngbarnes]

@@BillsPhoneTeignmouth I'm in a few retro computing communities, know lots of Dragon 32 owners! I started with ZX81 then BBC Micro which I still have.

[@mrbigbadtrev]

That was a very interesting explore up to the higher levels of Teignmouth. Don't think I'd fancy living above 'the slippage'🙀.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

You and me both! I mean, yes, great views, but I wouldn't to wake up to find half my garden on the railway!!!

[@pamelawhite3709]

Glad you enjoyed it Tracey - I have kinda done that walk before and discussed the same topics, but I decided it was time to revisit it again 👍👍👍

[@petehalford5425]

As a school kid I used to work on the Abbey farm. Milked the cows that grazed the fields where all those new builds now are.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Lovely - Yes, I remember it as all being fields - Crazy how the town has grown 👍

[@barrymillar2143]

Lovely bill. That’s why I love this channel. Very different route and interesting. Thanks mate enjoyed that. We done the smugglers lane and seawall walk to teignmouth on Sunday. Was amazing altho bit murky and misty. Drone footage superb. Thanks bill and see you tomorrow 🙏🏼( we hope in person 👍👍).

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Cheers Barry - Yes, see you tomorrow - I'll be down the wall, with no major time constraints 👍👍👍

[@ianbolton9309]

Lovely walk bill I remember in 2000 my mum and I stayed in dawlish and we walked from dawlish to Teignmouth along dawlish Rd then down smugglers lane and seawall in to Teignmouth just like u have on video and then we cheated and got the train back!! Haha 😊 your video brings back happy memories cheers mate👍🤗

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Good to hear Ian - btw, a train back is never 'Cheating'... Its simply just 'Fun' ! 😂 👍👍👍

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

You are so welcome Debbie - I have actually met a couple of different people who have relocated to Teignmouth, & told me that it was watching my videos that made them choose Teignmouth as their new home 👍👍👍

[@ianturpin9180]

When i lived at Belvedere Guest House in the 60s Glendarah was also a guest house.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Good stuff - I briefly knew the family that had it in the late 90s 'Perkins' - Ex Police inspector - Decided to retire from Welling Garden City & run a hotel - He only lasted a few years though... 👍

During WW2 Gorway house was an army barracks. One of the stick of bombs that took No1 Barnpark trc also hit Gorway and ended up in the cellar. Luckily the bombs weere dropped too low for their fuses to arm. Grandfather owned Gorway after the war, in fact we still own a 10 ft strip of land on Dawlish rd side. The entrance to the Gorway estate is still there. Oh and bill you got the wrong end of Barnpark when you posted about the destruction of No1.

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Ahh right, thanks - Good to know for future videos! 👍

Great video Bill. Have you ever looked at St Margaret's on New Rd / Ferndale? I believe it was a school in the past? Would love to see some history...

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Not somewhere I have heard of to be honest - I'll have to do some research - You may however see it from the Drone in this video, where I fly up along Ferndale towards New Road: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpnGfWp5qNKHhac 👍

Cool - Glad you got some useful info from it 👍

[@juliesmart9255]

Hi Bill, it's another request please from me. Could you possibly do a video of the walk to Turf Lock please, from the little church. Alot flatter than going to Watcombe! Much love Ju x

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Well I'm not saying 'No' but it is a bit further afield than I usually go - I don't like being to far awry from mum, incase of emergency - But I'll put it in my list of 'Possibles' should the chance arise 👍👍👍

[@happiertimes]

would you be able to do the coast walk from dawlish back to teignmouth or the other way around please ?

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Something I can definitely keep in mind - Possibly :)

[@simoncurl4504]

I worked at kiniver nursing home on New Road in the nineties. Gone now, new flats in it's stead, how many old Teignmouth houses have gone?

[@BillsPhoneTeignmouth]

Yes, I knew Kiniver in the late 70s - My 'Teignmouth' granny spent her last days there - Passed in 1974/75 - I was old enough to remember going in there to visit her, but not old enough to remember much else about it! But yes, flats now! 👍👍👍
