Seaton Carew, County Durham【4K】| Town Centre Walk 2021

[@LetsWalkUK]

Good evening! I hope you're all well - and I'd like to say a very big thank you for over 4,990 subscribers! We're very nearly at a major milestone, so if you're enjoying these walks around the country, do subscribe to help us reach 5,000! Now for some bonus info on Seaton Carew, which has a rather peculiar name. The 'Seaton' bit is fairly self-explanatory, as a 'settlement by the sea', but what about the 'Carew' bit? Well, that goes back to the 12th century, when the area came under the ownership of a baron named Robert de Carrowe. The name Seaton Carrowe was born, and over the centuries, the second part of the name has been corrupted and warped to how it is today :)

Unbelievable! The 'Norton Hotel', Is 1 The Green'. In 1965: I lived in a bedsit in that very building! Brilliant memories...Also, my old pal: Ken Tyzack is laid to rest in that churchyard! Thank you.

What an amazing video! I live in Hartlepool and must have been to Seaton hundreds of times but I ain’t it strange how little you can pay attention to a place you are familiar with. This has given me a new found appreciation of my local area so thank you so much for that! Love the channel and keep up the great work Ps. I will use that fact about the curved concrete on the bus station for the rest of my life haha 👌

My favourite part of the town we would take the kids to Seaton for fish and chips wrapped in newspaper !! I can say for sure the best fish and chips on the planet.

[@jackiegeritz5345]

Agreed! ❤ x

Back in 1960-1 our Mum and Gran would send my brother and me down to SC, very early in the morning, to book a chalet for the day at a cost of 2 shillings. We would walk over the 1/4 mile bridge, over some kind of industrial site, from West Hartlepool. They would join us later, coming in on the bus into the bus station. Then we would buy a big teapot of tea for sixpence, and fish and chips for a shilling and then sit in the chalet having our lunch. Very happy childhood memories. We didn't have much back then, and now I'm a lot older. I now live just outside of Los Angeles in the USA but wouldn't change those childhood memories for anything!!

[@LetsWalkUK]

Wow! Those sound like some wonderfully idyllic childhood memories, it paints a beautiful picture of Seaton Carew, which still remains a delightful place to spend a day out by the beach :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some great memories for you!

Steelworks bridge ... came out somewhere near the old sea-water swimming baths if I remember correctly.

[@loopyloo788]

@@neilcase I remember the swimming baths well. Steelworks Bridge was just down from there and over the road. 👍

[@jackiegeritz5345]

I spent the best years of my life at Seaton Carew. As a mischievous child and as a more responsible adult. Thank you for this video. ❤ x

[@lynnemacfadzean4855]

so many happy memories at Seaton, on our away days from Stockton during the late 50's early 60's We would get the train from Stockton to Seaton spend the day on the beach with our sandwiches and bottles of pop, and then back home on the train.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Wow! Those sound like some wonderful memories - Seaton Carew really is a lovely oasis among the industrial towns of Teesside, and a great breath of fresh air as I'm sure you remember well :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

Oh my goodness I’m loving your north east discovery walks Seaton Carew is so lovely. So many beautiful little towns and villages in the north generally. It’s nice that you are concentrating on the positive. So much mainstream news is negative trumpeting about “the worst place to live/ drugs/crime” etc. You are doing a great job 😊🌸🌺

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos - it means a lot to hear! Seaton Carew is just one of many lovely places in the North East with a fascinating history and some spectacular scenery - there are always positive things to focus on about every place in the country :)

[@jamesa1918]

Great film, interesting facts along the way, well done!

[@christinesmurthwaite8660]

haven’t been there for a lot of years but what I remember it was a really nice place

[@LetsWalkUK]

That's wonderful to hear - I'm sure you have some nice memories of Seaton Carew - I can confirm it is still a really nice place :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!

[@mylittlechannel9530]

We had to go to Hartlepool today so stopped at Seaton on the way home, not the best weather but it was dry and not too cold. We had to get fish and chips then sit overlooking the sea to eat them, a walk along the front back to the car.

Beautiful seaside, like the colourful beach huts. Thank you for this great video👍

I've just booked a super-cheap train ticket from Newcastle to Seaton Carew (for £1) and another from Hartlepool back to Newcastle (also £1) and I am wondering whether there is a seaside walk all the way up the coast.

[@neilnash5661]

Excellent walking guide. Well researched also. Thank you!

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Seaton Carew is a fascinating little place with a good little history to it too :) Thank you very much for watching and for your very kind words!

[@popazz1]

Another well presented walkabout of a familiar location, not that I've been for many a year. It does look as though it is very well cared for. Might not be as popular as the larger spots such as Scarborough and Whitby, even Saltburn, but it does have a beautiful shoreline. And the seafront homes around the green appear well maintained, a prime location I'd say. Folk always enjoy an arcade and fish n chips on the seafront. And one of the few sounds which can send me off to sleep is the sea crashing onto the shore. It's not as if there's any real naval association in my family history, apart from an uncle who was lost at sea when the ship he was on was sunk in WW2, he was just 19! I just seem to feel an affinity with the sea. Thanks for this, always appreciated.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Ha ha - I think there really is something special about the sea that captures everyone's imagination in some unique way! I love visiting little places by the coast like Seaton Carew - and I'm sure you have some wonderful memories of the town, as well as the larger seaside resorts you mention further down the coast :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting as always - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@WalksInCamera]

Really enjoyed that. Interesting to get an insight into the town from your walk.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! It's quite amazing how much history and heritage there is packed into the buildings and such that we walk past around the world :) Thank you very much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@burtwallace5909]

Oh dear ! naughty ,naughty , you didn't mention the Canoe Man ,the bizarre story of what put Seaton Carew on the Map . On a lighter note , what a cracking little gem you have dug up here ,looks ab-fab in the Sunshine ,all on the flat , Great Vid' as usual .

[@LetsWalkUK]

Ah yes that did come up in my research - there's a lot to Seaton Carew's history, and in a small seaside town I can't quite pack it all in - but it's indeed another part of the history! It really is a gorgeous place as you say - especially under those gorgeous blue skies :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

The Stockton and Darlington railway wasnt 'One Of' the first passenger railways, it was THE first passenger railway, preceding Liverpool to Manchester by 5 years

Nice walk in the town I enjoyed it on a sunny day. In canada we have a heatwave going on. How is the weather summer weather in England? Great history you gave on the town. Hope to see more. Your walks are always enjoyable. 😀

[@LetsWalkUK]

Indeed it was a very sunny day on this occasion! It's been a rather cold and cloudy summer for the most part here in England though, hopefully it will warm up a bit next year :) Thank you so much for watching as always - I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos!
