[@andymartin3039]

I never understand how Skegness consistently gets voted the worst seaside destination, I've always loved this place and after a visit earlier this year, I still do. There are definitely worst seaside resorts in the UK, I would interested to see the scoring criteria.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

It’s on the Which? website. There’s about 8 different categories they score on.

[@vladthemert4119]

Likely people voted never been some people have air snobbery if north of watford has to be a dump mentality. Sadly these are people tend to vote can effect issues with swaying people to stay away. Actually think these polls do more harm than good over egging average places down playing good places. Some down or upgrade places if they had good experience or bad which nothing to do with location as example. Was it down to experience who knows, i went to clacton when i was young many years back that was a dump whether its better now. I always feel people have downer on lincolnshire as a whole no idea why lot worse places to live or visit and people are friendly.

[@S_J_banana]

Skegness will always be one of my favourites because of my childhood memories of the seaside and Butlins

[@FryV2]

Don't know who these people voting Skeg as the worst seaside town are, but they are very wrong.

[@FallenAngel53]

Yes and I’m Pretty sure it came top in seaside resorts this year 😂😂 🤦‍♀️

[@franrowe8696]

Love Skeggy and have done for the past 30 years.

[@franrowe8696]

Forgot to say, it started in the early 80's staying at Derbyshire Miners holiday camp, the LingaLonga cafe, Nottingham lace at the market.

[@lynnescaddan8919]

I agree, Skegness is an ok place, Only problem I have is, my sister drives from Leeds & refuses to go over the Number bridge, she's petrified driving over water, it's terrible trying to find an alternate route.

[@user-sl2wg8yp7o]

Very harsh on Skegness this. I live in Cleethorpes, and sad to say, Cleethorpes is a far worse resort than Skegness. Also, what about Mablethorpe !!!! Mablethorpe is literally the last resort ...........

[@davidwatson22]

It's been some time I visited Cleethorpes, shocked how many places on the front where closed, used to like the indoor market

[@jkay8320]

I agree, I live in gy, there isn't anything here, it's boring, if U think what is actually here just a beach, arcades,bars, nothing much for kids since pleasure island closed, least skegy has things to do and it's close together

[@glenoxman7904]

Great video! The aquarium bought out the model village next door and put a dinosaur area in it for the kids, including a large sandpit to dig around in. The Embassy is a great venue, they've got a lot of different acts/shows on throughout the year. The night you were there (If it was last Saturday) Chubby Brown was on playing to a full house, fantastic!

[@stephenrose793]

I love taking my kids here to the aquarium and we go to the pirate themed chippy across the road too. Massive portions, we only order 2 main meals between the 4 of us

[@chaoticjexak]

i did wonder what happened to the old model village. i was up there 2 weeks ago on vacation and i wanted to steal the bell.

[@tonypritchard1345]

just got back from a week at butlins,the town itself is a proper holiday hotspot,and in most places looks fantastic just as it did when it was my nearest seaside town growing up

[@alexcrawford8151]

Hi Kevin completely agree with you ,from watching your video , I went there as a kid back In the late 80s 90s, looks just as good , I'm hoping to go back up there in future look forward to more of your videos

[@peterlister9626]

When i was a child my family used to Holiday at Butlins at Skegness quite regularly. Seeing this video makes me want to go back and visit the town itself

[@michaelward2082]

Well, Skegness has a railway station, nice Zoo, a Wetherspoons , 2 KFCs, nice open top bus service, the minature railway closed down 1989 but there is another one down the road a bit, its hard to find a decent pub there though, its 60 miles from me I think..

[@lynnescaddan8919]

Thanq for the video I'm glad you walked on main road, my sister and I are holidaying there next July. Some places are great for us walking impaired some are not.

[@AVanLifeThing]

Great to see the video. Was in Skegness during mid summer season and I found that the funfair tend to ended by about 8 - 8.30 at the best of time so if anyone is going to get an evening band get it early.!

[@selfy296]

I came to Skegness all the time as a kid from kings Lynn Norfolk I now live here and I still get childhood nostalgia even though it has been my home for the last 7 months!

[@billmmckelvie5188]

You're quite correct to say your not having it. I'll never forget coming to Skeggie back in the very early Seventies by train, coming to the station was the express from Nottingham pulled by two class 20 diesel locomotives that have now become legendary as "the Jolly Fisherman Express" I then caught a service bus or single decker to Butlins! My Dad, mum and I caught the DMU from Skeggie to Mablethorpe by train before the line was closed, so happy memories! I am going to a seaside town to chill and to savour the moment, as I was born in a coastal town, for me there is always a magnetic draw even more so as I live in a town! I have to ask what are you going to Skeggie for or any seaside town for that matter? Here is the biggest thing our seaside towns have going for them your within 100 miles of one plus you don't have jump on a plane to go, you go for a quick weekend away! They're ideal for the six weeks school holiday and allow you to destress from work! As regards the brown sea this is due to sand from the many off-shore sandbars. I am wondering if people are jealous of Skegness as sits as the only big resort between the Yorkshire Coast and Great Yarmouth on the Norfolk Coast! However the number of static caravans surrounding really speak for the town. With Butlins at Ingoldmells issuing day passes you can always use their indoor swimming facilities if its raining too! www.butlins.com/discover-butlins/things-to-do/pools/skegness-pool

[@PhilCarson-ge8nd]

Just to have all my Holliday's as a kid at Skeg went for first time in decades earlier this year just for the day lovely weather had a stroll on beach walk down the front fish and chips saw a few places that zoomed me back to my childhood ...enjoyed it

[@rebieroo99]

seaside places to go, if you ever want to take Andy up to liverpool for the churches and cathedrals id also look in to new brighton little fair and arcade and apparently the best beach in the north west. going right up to the end of to Wallasey beach (minuets in the car) is one of my favourite places, no tourest just locals. theres also turbines in the sea too. many a moment spent there while at uni as its a quick trip on train (underground in the city) might be worth a look at

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Sounds good, although if it’s not full of arcades, noise and people then I’m not sure it’s my kind of seaside place!

[@exploringwithcam74]

I ALSO GREW UP IN PETERBOROUGH AND WENT TO SKEG AND HUNNY ALOT

[@mrrayner7162]

I have a lot of nostalgia for Skegness. I grew up in Boston and used to go to Skegness regularly. When I was a kid I loved it, spent loads of time going up on the train with friends and spending tons of cash playing arcade games and going in the Pleasure Beach. The key problem with Skegness that also plagues Blackpool as well is the abject poverty in the area leading to a lot of crime. I think the reason Blackpool gets a pass is the Pleasure Beach which has some serious rides. I agree it's better than Hunstanton or Cromer overall, but to compare 90s Skegness with my last visit in 2022 it is a very very depressing place to be - especially out of season. Blackpool hasn't changed a huge amount though. The constant issues in the 2000s of businesses "mysteriously burning down" was a real issue too, so a lot of Skeg Vegas I remember doesn't exist any more. I did play a DJ set at Grand Central in like 2008, that was a lot of fun!

[@AVanLifeThing]

Absolutely. I used to live in Sutterton ( nearish Boston) and used to get the train at least a couple of times int he season. Blackpool has a vibe that Skegness sadly doesnt have. There's always some noise or music to keep things going, whereas Skegness has shops closing at 4.30pm sadly. Once you been into on arcade thats about it and the pier having half the lights out on the walk out to the end doesnt help. Bear in mind I was there mid summer season and sadly (and I mean that sadly) that seaside town vibe wasnt there f0r me. If you loved it much respect to anyone.

[@mrrayner7162]

@@AVanLifeThing It's nice to see that people are enjoying it though. If there was some decent investment I think Skegness could go far, but with it being all fish and chips, slot machines and water filled with effluent it kind of takes a lot of the magic away that isn't lost if you go to other seaside towns. It doesn't have the attractions of Blackpool, the historical significance of places like Whitby or Brighton (which has a wicked nightlife all year round), the beauty of Filey, or access to overseas destinations like Southampton or Dover. For a "destination" town it really isn't much of a destination.

[@AVanLifeThing]

@@mrrayner7162 Absolutely! I dont want to do member berries but... I remember when you would have an arcade you would goto because it had a marque thing inside it. Once you've been into one it's a copy and paste sadly but I do get the penny pushers and making cash is the main thing. What really shocked me was in the middle of peak season it was dead. I'll happily stop there if im in the area but like you said I'd not make it a "must go there" but thats in part because its 6 hours from me lol

[@mrrayner7162]

@AVanLifeThing I get what you mean on the copy-paste thing. I presume a lot of the arcade games have been replaced by slot machines, and that seems to be the M.O. of a lot of these arcade owners. Cheaper costs for higher profits. With games, it's a case of put a quid in, play it for one, maybe two, sessions and move on. Not great turnover for a system that probably costs ten of thousands to have. For the same money into a slot machine, you get people sitting for hours playing it, hoping for a jackpot. I won't go into the socio-economics of preying on gambling addicts, but needless to say, preying on the vulnerable earns more than passing trade of kids and nerds like me. Again, with the lack of attractions, Skegness has lost its lustre. There's a bit of beauty in the surrounding area, but 4 mini golf courses, an aquarium and an out of date amusement Park with no standout attractions doesn't draw crowds.

[@chaoticjexak]

also former boston resident here! woot! i still remember when the building near the park 'mysteriously burnt down'. insurance/listed building loopholes, amirite?

[@michaelward2082]

I used to go by train to Skegness, later by car instead, get there about 11am stay there all day until it got dark, never been there after dark, funfair is my favourite in Britain, can t find a decent pub there anymore though, but if I am driving its just as well, been there over 100 times mostly on sundays, to make it more interesting I might park my car at Sleaford or Boston and get the train,

[@whatswrongwithpeople-xq2uk]

I grew up in Peterborough too we always went Heacham and skeggy

[@Tommo9uk_]

love Skegness, classic British seaside town, an absolutely loved Panda's Palace that was along the sea front as a kid

[@jkay8320]

Pandas palace isn't there anymore I think it's an aquarium, I love it there too, great place for kids

[@TheJollyGamerJoe]

I also used to go there when I was a kid, I had no idea Skeggy had such a bad reputation. I only ever have good memories of it. In the Summer they have a slingshot ride that I've been on a few times. I did however leave my Tamagotchi in an arcade there when I was about 7, so if anyone here ever found it. I hope you are still looking after it lol.

[@Krishansmummy]

Most British sea side towns are a little bit run down...but that's part of the charm! Skeggy always reminds me of Weston Super Mare....very similar!! I love Bournemouth myself....but it's all got a bit "trendy" there now. Nothing like a bit of childhood nostalgia!!

[@heathenstrengthtraining3059]

I'm from Leicester myself, and spent a lot of my childhood holidays in Skegvegas, I would go for almost 2 weeks each year. I continued going into adulthood, and then started taking my 3 children, who now also love the place too.

[@joanhodgson9616]

Glad you mentioned all the fish & chips. We used to call it chip alley & we used to make it our first port of call as soon as we got off the bus. Fish & chips in a bag. Yummy,😂😂

[@iainferguson764]

Yes its a little run down in places but I love Skeggy. Many happy childhood memories from the 80's when we used to stay in a guest house every year. We used to rent one of the now derelict chalets near the pier for the week as a base during the day. Think sticking a Maccies near the front doesn't look great. Plenty of free street parking to be had in the streets just back from the front.

[@Galaxy-mi9do]

Hey would you be able to do a vlog in Hunstanton one month?? Would be cool to see my childhood beach in a vlog

[@glennanderson7795]

Good mornig Kevin, where's Anna? Being a newbie to your splendid channel (1st. time earlier today and my third film of the day) don't thin, I've ever been to 'Skeggie', but back in late 1960s we had a fortnight in a caravan park in nearby Mabelthorpe, whilst enjoying the beach I found a 'live' round of WW11 ammo, as a ten year old I knew nothing of such stuff, hid it, and took it back to the caravan park and proudly showed it off to the site, who, along with my mum and nan, all had a 'pink fit' and I ended up placing it in a bucket of sand he had for the occasional bllet that turned up on the beach which was used for practice by the soldiers back in WW11. 55 years later, I wish I'd gone to Skegness, but was too young to travel on my own (aged 10) Your films are bringing back some very happy, memories of my now distant past. What more could you expect from a seaside resort? Thank you both & VBW X

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Anna stayed in the caravan while I filmed this one, but she was in some of the other videos from this trip. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!

[@Simon_the_yorkshireman]

Skegness is a lovely place.

[@tonyp011]

Hi kevin i remember my very first holiday to Skegness as i went with a childrens home in 1971 as i was in a boarding school at the time and my mother didn't allow me home in the summer hols so the home took me with them, and we all stayed on what looked like a holiday centre for children which resembled military style sleeping blocks which we could see Butlins from, we had to walk down this roadway to the main rd cross over the main rd and walk along pavement which took you to a large complex which comprised of an outside pool surrounded with 4 half glass walls which you could see the sea out of, there was also many seaside gift outlets and cafes etc a fair ground and a cinema which doubled up as a Theatre etc, and we watched panto with LULU i it singing you make me want to shout can't remember the name of the seaside complex or the holiday centre

[@davidwright173]

enjoyed this but its got to be wells next to see for me.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

It's on my list

[@0shova]

Spent a lot of my life up and down that part of the coast. As a child it was more towards the Mablethorpe area. But from my teens into my 30s, definitely spent a lot of time in Skeggie. Absolutely love it! Going back next month, and definitely looking forward to it.

[@MoreKevinChapman]

Very cool!

[@chaoticjexak]

former lincolnshirians unite! i used to live around boston way, and went up skeg every summer or so. I was up here about 2 weeks ago on a family visit holiday as i still have friends and relatives in the shire. skegness is honestly great even out of season, in fact id say its probably one of the better seaside towns to visit out of season becuase of how cheap accomodation is OOS and theres enough open and to do over a weekend or even midweek. in terms of points of interest too, theres the allsorts shop, that does replica weapons and cool stuff if you're into fantasy movies and anime, theres sweetooth which is actually better than some of the places in birmingham and maybe even london for american imports (first place ive ever seen that actually has gfuel and oh henry bars), if you take a left at the spoons theres a collectables store and a model shop and then salts (imo the best chippy in all of skeg, and ive been to a few). now OUTSIDE of skeg if you wanted to go a bit further afield your options are admittedly perhaps a bit more limited. and one huge huge downside for lincolnshire in general for me at least is there are like almost no local game stores, aka LGS's for organised trading card game play. from skeg youd have to go about 39 miles to the nearest, which i forget where exactly it was becuase i never went to check it out becuase of the distance. so if you're a card gamer, id have to instead reccomend somewhere like cornwall, which at least has 1 or 2 places in truro for that. in my humble opinion, i actually think ingoldmelds is lower tier than skeg. yes it has fantasy island but thats ALL it has going for it, good for interesting market stuff and rides, but no 'town centre' to speak of, and no landmarks or anything more chill and laid back like a nice park from what i saw of it. it dosent even have a supermarket for your essentials and skegness has an entire 3! madness lol.

[@chaoticjexak]

hecki would actually call pendine one of the worst seaside towns in the uk. not becuase its rundown or nasty or anything, but there is simply not that much there. and the signals awful becuase theres a massive hill. the only reason to go down ther (and the reason i was there) was the pendine sands hot rod drags. note: i do consider it a seaside town becuase it has a honking great holiday park in it, and theres a beach. admittedly a nice beach, but thats all it really has going for it.

[@user-nm7zm3ql3h]

went to hunstanton last year with a theatre. stunning views.

[@alanpeaker1803]

I agree Skegness does not deserve the worst seaside place in the UK.I did the 16miles costal walk into Mablethorpe was a brilliant day,did it in 7 hours but that was stopping for dinner and of cause the views,somewhere between 25000 to 30000 steps according to my smartwatch and a max pulse rate of 120,was a great dat weather perfect for walking and sightseeing on the way.

Ah, the arcades. It's a cracking place as I remember from very young and right up to twenty years ago. The videos of Skeggy on here don't change that opinion. AFAIK the place is cheap and you can have a proper seaside holiday. You might be surprised how boring North Devon is, over-priced and full of second homes now.

[@andyhall109]

Love Skeg, been visiting all my life. I now live on the south coast, and southern coast resorts (with perhaps, the exception of Brighton) are dull by comparison and don’t even have sandy beaches! I think those that are voting are snobs who have never visited Skeg (or haven’t been in 20 years).

[@blockwhisperers8352]

Loads of beautiful sandy beaches on the south coast. Bournemouth is just one for example. Some lovely towns down south much nicer.

[@Mal3lim]

Skegness has been a part of my whole life, family days out as a kid, partying as a young man and now family days out as a dad. I'm biased obviously as it's close by and I will admit the shopping side of town is a little lacklustre but the seafront itself is probably the best its been in years, the pedestrianisation of the road from the clock tower to the RNLI station has been a massive improvement. Skegness will always get my vote. Can I also say a big congratulations on the Guiness World Record.

[@danielbillingsley8073]

I don't think its the worst seaside town. I've been on holiday there for years, and recently the town has undergone a major refresh. The South area has the Atlantis Golf, The Aquarium & Dinosaur Area, The Upside Down House, the pedestrianised area... The 'Middle' has the refurbished pier, the Premier Inn, The KFC and a bar at the end of the pier... And the North has Natureland, Arnold Palmer and... OK, that area is pretty much run down and forgotten apart from those 2 main attractions. The South Side is amazing, as are the changes/planned changes for the pier. But the North Side needs stuff now, as it does feel forgotten and 'dead' even though its a short stretch of seaside. I can also see the seaside transforming into a place for clubs, partying and nightlife, which is a bit concerning considering it is a family holiday resort...

Skegness is awesome, I love it and the kids love it! Definitely not the worst by far I think

[@graham9473]

I think its a great place been a few times in 80s 90s in my childhood days, now i Bring my kids to Skegness. I think people putting it down are wrong, yes some areas need a little paint and some seating areas need a clean. But compare it to other places it has very little bottle necks plenty green space , in the park you almost forget you at the seaside. Please don't mix up butlins and fantasy islands up the road, for me thats is too much.

Been going Skeggy and Ingoldmells for years me and family love it that much we've based our tourer down there for last 5 years and go most weekends between March and October can't fault it at all these folk that vote skegness the worst obviously don't get out much

I love a good arcade so this doesn’t look that bad tbh

[@ElaineDenton-mg7tp]

I like Skegness there’s lots to do and it’s clean you look at places like Bridlington that’s not so good

[@ULTRAViP3R]

Really enjoyed the video, excellent, if you're looking for the best &/or worst in the UK, you should come to Northern Ireland and sample Portrush/Portstewart.....Skegness looks awesome compared to those 2

[@MoreKevinChapman]

I’ll and it to my list!

[@rikrob]

I agree it definitely isn't a contender as the best, but the worst? It isn't even the worst seaside town in Lincolnshire! (that would be Cleethorpes!)

[@ratarsed666]

i dislike skeg it is a dump but then again i like to see old buildings and nice veiws , i understand we are all looking for different things and kids love it , it is like a nottingham council estate by the sea the only thing missing is the burnt out cars .......
