REDCAR | Full seafront beach tour of Redcar, North Yorkshire, England!

[@stouffvillegunggung443]

Thanks for the video. Brings back memories since I grew up and went to school in Redcar. I've spent many hours picking up mussels, crabs and even fishes in the rock pools during low tide. We lived at 58 Redcar Lane. My old school has been demolished. Did my A levels at the Redcar & Cleveland college. And Yes, the rebuilt cinema on the seafront looks very nice. I've emigrated and lived in Canada for about 34 years now.

[@jamesjackson7844]

Very sensible.

[@moirawatson-pickering7228]

Wow! I do hope your happy there👍 You should come back for a visit. Have a nice day! Thanks for your comments! 🙂

My father managed the Woolworth store in Redcar and you can see the remnants of it just right of the Hub at 7:30. The stairs and handholds. The library has been moved from the original position and I have great memories of that and the clubs run upstairs from it. My mother used to buy crabs off the beachfront until she finally got one that was a bit too large and lively to keep in the pot :) When we arrived there, ICI was still operating and every couple of nights, the stacks would flare off dodgy batches of chemicals like the opening of Blade Runner.

Been in Redcar a good few times, from the late 60s, it's lovely. I've got friends who live there. The beach is brilliant. There's usually a car boot sale on the racecourse on a Sunday morning I think.

[@jamesjackson7844]

Must say your camera does marvel’s for Redcar, it’s almost unrecognisable to the true aspects ! Thanks.

[@secretsauce202]

Im seriously considering moving to redcar in the next 2 years. I hate living in a city and i love the seaside. Redcar, saltburn, whitby maybe sandsend if i can afford it

[@davegriffin7979]

Been there, beautiful, I was born in Middlesbrough and emigrated to Canada in 1968

[@maggiemitchell4359]

Thanks for the video only been to Redcar once ,I remembered the penguins and found a fantastic fossil on the beach,still have it today👍

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ah amazing!

[@nicholaskemp2246]

Well, there's a clue as to how windy Redcar is just by looking out to sea! Lol. The old Regent has gone now. Replaced by a modern looking building. A lot of the seafront properties are slowly getting 'done up', and there is a new amusement type park being built along the Majuba road, as well. Sometimes, when sea conditions are right, a petrified forest is exposed on the beach. It's quite a sight to see. Then, as quickly as it's exposed, the tide covers it all back up with sand and rocks again!

[@margaretratcliffe5465]

I've never lived in Redcar but have a special place in my heart for it.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Lovely place

[@kevingill648]

I may be wrong but do I know you?

[@daveparker770]

Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it very much. I lived in Redcar for over twenty years; went to school at Zetland Junior School, Warwick Road (aka Redcar Lane) and Sir William Turners. Worked at British Steel until 1975 then left to work overseas, now living in Shropshire. Not keen on the 'vertical pier' but impressed with all the rejuvination of the esplanade. Lived at the large house with the bay windows shown at the start of the video, so it was good to see it still standing.

[@keefykinsall]

When anyone mentions Redcar it always reminds me of chubby brown. It looks nice although seems to lack hotels and pubs which i always associate with seaside towns , but lovely beach i could spend a day there !

[@observer4916]

redcar is actually packed with pubs and microbreweries. not many hotels, but the town's a shithole so nobody would want to lodge here anyway lmao.

[@keefykinsall]

@@observer4916 Lmao too thanks for that probably give it a miss then

[@karenking4271]

Thanks for sharing, Hun :)..... I don't mind the wind turbines. But that "lipstick" looks like a Helter Skelter design gone wrong lol ... I was hoping those penguins were going to start dancing lol .. in case you are not sure, yet I really enjoyed this video. Thanks, Neil :) x

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ha ha you’re welcome That vertical pier really is strange

[@colinhepworth7920]

I went to school in Redcar something like 50 years ago, the area called Coatham really, next to the Church spire @ 16.50. Coatham starts where you finished your walk. I live in the USA now but who knows one day I might get back to see the place again. And yes, it is always windy in Redcar that's why the wind turbines are there! but the blowing sand gives you a facial free of charge! The beach continues for a few miles along to South Gare way in the distance. I'm not anti-wind turbines but I think in this location they spoil the nice view over the sea. Years ago there would be cargo ships anchored where the turbines are waiting to go into the Tees.

[@grahamread8732]

I went to school in Warrenby 1955 we lived in Teal street we were known as the Reads family I went to Çoatham Secondary school on the edge òf the Lakes Estate great times there

[@paulinefearnley9379]

Another place I’ve not heard of before but a great walk and wow what a long beach thanks and keep on walking 🚶🏻👍❤️

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you, I will!

[@mikeonfreeserve2926]

There used to be races with supercharged Bentley racing cars on this beach in the 1930s. It is so long and flat. Imagine that.

[@lesleypulling129]

I love living here , it's heaving with visitors at the moment , the Cinema on the beach has Been re built and has a restaurant overlooking the sea ., this must have been taken early in the season ❤

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I think it was a couple of years ago when I filmed this one - I found it in the archives and thought I'd put it out for people to see

[@ryokan9120]

Hi, I'm thinking of moving to Redcar, but I need to find work. I work in warehouses and I was wondering if there are any warehouse industrial estates in Redcar? Thanks!

[@grahamread8732]

The Redcar Beacon I find an eyesore of the seafront

Do people really call it the lipstick?

"Hope my wig dosen't blow off", gave me a proper chuckle, haha.

[@anitadodds2867]

Ive only been to Redcar once and I dont remember seeing any of this. All I remember is walking near the beach and you stepped down off the pavement onto the beach. I will have to visit again

[@margaretwood7135]

Very different to the 30s 40s and at a stretch 50s that some of us remember with nostalgia. Palace Hub = Palace Cinema. Regency Mansions = Coatham Hotel.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes lots of changes here!

[@ddunn3489]

Another Great Walk and Music...but I only saw 18 red cars 😂 oh and....1 red truck

[@sallan990]

Really enjoyed watching this video,picture quality is excellent,thanks for sharing with us,it's always windy in Redcar by the way👌👍

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks Stephen! Very windy 🤣🤣

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello gimble walk Neil love your vidio on Redcar I went there a long time ago and it is a fantastic seaside take care stay safe from Lynn x

[@sandracunningham3995]

Thanks for sharing.

[@katieannjones89]

Hi Neil, thanks so much for the walk. I grew up in Redcar but moved away and am homesick, so have thoroughly enjoyed seeing my old haunts. Can i just be a wee bit picky (constructive criticism😊) and suggest that you perhaps do walks without the music - i kkow its prob just me, but i prefer to hear sounds of the place youre walking, like the sea and seagulls, rather than distracting music. I end up turning the sound off which is a great shame. But i love your walks, and i especially love this one. Thank you for sharing❤

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I'd not put music on my walks but this one was totally ruined by the wind noise It was the windiest day I've ever filmed on!

[@sandrahardy1208]

Not been to Redcar, so thank you for showing us around Neil. Like some of the art work. The Pier is certainly different. Not sure I would call it a Pier. Don't mind wind turbines, we need renewable energy. Windy day? Looking at your shadow, think your wig already took flight! 🤣👍

[@davidhobbs5807]

Let you into a little secret Redcar is cleaner than California what happened to all the graffiti and trash, its beyond remarkable to see this.. Was everyone sent to re education camps. I haven't lived in Redcar or even been back in over 30 years but something must of changed. Even the high street looks polished. Seriously California towns and cities are dumps compared to how clean it looks here. I guess pride still has meaning. Great videos.

[@9NVRJC51]

As long as you stay that side of the high street you're all good, go towards dormanstown and the lakes it's a dump

[@nathansmiddy]

@@9NVRJC51 Even Queen Street, I was told it's a place full of drug users! Funny enough, I live in Redcar myself, so how I was not in this video, I will never know XD @Gimbal Walk TV If you are reading this, please be careful next time you start filming public streets, you do at times get some mean and rude people on our streets who don't take it kindly to people who are filming.

[@moirawatson-pickering7228]

I think Redcar should go back to it's old name, of Redscar🤔 Thanks for sharing!

[@keithcorrigan658]

It’s a beautiful place and during lockdown it was a blessing because of the long stretch of beach, we walked 3 hrs a day in 2020 before life returns to normal I’m still fat lol but at least the gyms are open again now 🧁😏😁

[@susan3804]

Brilliant 🤟 Love the smaller more personable sea side towns. They have a more relaxing vibe, minus the Hitchcock birds, 🤣. That 'Choo-Choo' cover up song sounds alot like 'Ride Sally Ride'...I may or may not have been singing along. 🤣 Wind turbines are amazing and wonderful for our planet! Yea, they may be an eye sore for some, but it's better than oil rigs drilling 5-6 miles deep into our planet. Global warming is on the rise. These super hot unnatural temperatures are proof. 🥺

[@jackwatsonepic626]

I like how they have done the promenade up to the 21st century and not redone it , so it looks Victorian

[@paulkelly8107]

Sorry but looks a bit jaywick down soth

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Where's Jaywick? Sounds like I might have to film it!

[@juliaeaves9355]

Jaywick is in Essex, nr Clacton on sea. I've lived in Redcar for nearly 40 years, originally from the south, so Redcar can't be that bad. Like most towns there's good & bad areas. Thanks for sharing this.

[@andrewpaton9598]

I live in redcar and it may not be a blackpool or skegness or beaches on the south coast. It does have a lovely beach and more to offer than you see here. It's just sadly has a poor council with on direction. That could make redcar a even better place to visit.

[@kamilazu45]

Nothing interesting
