I enjoyed this walk. The view from the harbour was lovely. It looks a popular holiday resort.

[@Deb68Suffolk]

Another pretty Devon seaside we've never visited. Loved seeing the Waverley arriving too. Thanks once again for taking us with you 👍.

Thank you Neil for sharing this beautiful town with us. We visited Ilfracombe last year in May on our holidays in Devon. I love the Verity statue and the stunning view from the harbour. It's worth a visit. Have a nice weekend.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

You too That Verity statue is amazing when you’re stood there looking up at it isn’t jt

[@valeriegould105]

Thanks for a great video. Ilfracombe is one of our favourite places and have been going there for years. Had our honeymoon there in 1970. Good to see your video because on the last few trips over the years, we have seen a decline, but now all is seemingly looking lovely once again, so time for us to have another visit to lovely Ilfracombe.

[@tanyaheal6647]

I just wanted to say thank you very much for this content. It brings me a lot of comfort and memories. Unfortunately due to fibromyalgia I'm housebound and I miss the coast soooo much 😢🎉. Fingers crossed one day i'll be back.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Aw bless thank you for your kind words and reply. I love your channel and look forward to watching it .❤

[@annagornas3572]

Haven't watched it yet but pressed 'like' already because I see there's no music in this one. And I loved your winter video of this wonderful town so I'm sure I'm in for a treat.

[@loa4441]

Gorgeous place

[@elainehardy660]

I forgot what a beautiful place it is must be 40 years since been there nearly bought a Cafe there 10 years ago but missed out thanks for video Neil x

[@geoffreyjerrom7771]

😎Love the Waverley.

[@yougottabekidding7476]

I love it here. In spite of a seagull swooping down and taking off with my ice cream cone. But he did leave me the cone itself. My husband laughed. The next visit another seagull (or the same pesky one?) swooped down and did the same thing with my husband's cone, haha. Enjoy Ilfracombe, but avoid eating ice cream cones by the harbour! Thanks for the video!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ha ha that’s brilliant! 🤣🤣

[@R.Wyn007]

Thank you so much Neil for your wonderful videos, they are a real God-send💫 Your choice of background music is great. I have visited Ilfracombe once via the Waverley from Swansea😊

[@blokey5160]

Great to see the promenade and harbour area of my old home town. Sadly the high street is not so attractive these days. I'm long overdue for a visit....one day soon maybe?

[@eltonlovell9898]

The eye-sore statue should be called 'Vanity'.. what a vile centerpiece to a once beautiful harbour

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Disagree - I think it's incredible!

[@teresafell2514]

Me and my husband our 25 wedding anniversary here when we were holidaying at Sunny Line Caravan and Camping site a year ago

[@joannaconway3476]

[@davidiand7]

Spent my Honeymoon there in 1968.
