Very happy memories of this place, rolled back the years!! Thank you!!!

[@bexhil7]

Another great & fantastic video of PERRANPORTH | Exploring the seaside holiday town of Perranporth Cornwall💙💙

[@annhollingworth1958]

Absolutely love Perranporth and the gorgeous North Cornwall coast from Bude all the way down to Newquay, Crantock and the Gannel Estuary, Holywell Bay and Perranporth! My very favorite stretch of coastline! Your video tour is fabulous - it's wonderful to see all the familiar places - thank you so much for sharing!

[@antman5474]

I did the Holywell to Perranporth. At one point I thought I would die if I put a foot wrong it was epic. It is though it's hardcore.

[@antman5474]

@@RYPZ-z8j there was me on a country walk, a ramble... ... and then that. I thought I was about to die.

Needs a guide rail at least.

[@antman5474]

But no, Kernow isn't Disney land and if you fall off it's your own silly fault. But I'm doing that walk again ffs

[@diskellyheron7382]

I am enjoying seeing the different Villages during the off season..thank you 😊

You’re welcome!

[@puma55792]

Great to see it again , we rented a cottage in Blackwater and would drive down to the beaches during the week, happy days,

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ahhh is that what they are?

[@sharonwallner9133]

@@GimbalWalkTV Yeah, they 'swim' under water, you can see them dive under, and come back up far from where they went in... if at all !

[@tonywest1067]

Must be the best beach in the southwest it rained when I was there youre video of the waves was brilliant h

[@terrywiltshire3581]

Takes me back a bit, I worked on that beach hiring deck chairs and surfboards in the 70s stunning beach

[@johnledingham852]

Wow! I love that magnificent surf. And I live in south east Queensland. Cornwall has it all Neil. I'm enjoying all your videos and thanks for your dedication and effort on our behalf.

[@rdtruckinguk8532]

Beautiful, I have just sat here in my truck on a break, and for the last 20mins thought I was on that beach! I absolutely love Perranporth, have had many happy holidays here. I would definitely move to Perranporth if I could! Nice camera work. 👍

[@nickrichards3841]

Amazing really, I lived in Perranporth many, many years ago. Not a single shop that was there then now remains. The Ty Inn still there but everything else gone

[@ShaneGilbert-cx4th]

Some of the youtube's I follow on horse's GO for a ride ON perranporth beach . To help get the horse's fit .SUCH good filming . Take care and all the best. I would LOVE to GO there some day . I'm going to sennen cove Cornwall, in July. 😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ah amazing - I actually saw the horses running on the beach the other day! Was lovely

[@ritapowell4695]

Looks a lovely place, it’s lovely to see all these Cornwall videos as Ive never been yet. I must say thank you for all the lovely sea and beach shots at the end of each video , it lovely to see the sea espessially when it’s a bit lively in the winter and as I live in a landlocked . I can almost smell the sea air.

[@NancyRose-p5t]

Omg he’s this beach is amazing I really close to perranporth it’s a great place

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Lovely isn't it

[@yorki5208]

Nice vid I’ve been going to perranporth for a few years now love it it was packed last year with the hot weather we had thanks look forward to the next one 👍

[@AdventureWalk4K]

Great town, looks like a very relaxed and peaceful ambience there. The beach looks amazing. Thank you for the tour, my friend. Cheers! 😍🥰👍

[@dehewitt341]

WoW! What a vast and beautiful beach! The cliffs and the different colours of layers are amazing. I bet on a sunny day even more! They too look like they would be fun to climb and then sit and look out to the horizon and watch the waves or passing boats! Also, I thought it was unusual to see the bright teal blue paint on several of the buildings. Not your usual fare you see at seaside. Thanks again Neil hope your trainers dried quickly! Cheers! :)

[@chrishaz1122]

What a great video that was. Never seen it in January what a difference miss the place so much 😢

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks so much - it's a great place to visit I think

[@MrFreakinmeakin]

When you climb to the flag upon the rock there is a man made pool full of sea water that you can swim in and take a dinghy into. Lovely place

[@insuretec]

I wondered who that big bald bloke with a gimbal was as I was sat at the Beach Rd bus stop! 😁

[@bobeden5027]

Had my honeymoon there in 76, I remember the steak and kidney pasties from The Green Parrot. and the flock of geese that guarded the campsite!

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

That sea looked incredible with the waves. It looked a nice day as far as January goes but i bet it was freezing. It’s nearly 29 years since I was last in Cornwall, I need to try and go again sometime soon.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

It was sooooo cold 🥶🤣

[@sheilam4525]

Really enjoyed that, thank you! We visited Perranporth in 2016 and loved it. Looks like a couple of the cafes/restaurants have changed names since then. The Tea Room was Chrissy's Tea Room if I remember and it was fantastic. I think she retired.

[@paulawinestein7072]

We went to perenporth on my birthday last August, and the entire beach was rammed, we couldn't get on it, so stayed in the pub haha 😅 🙃

[@jtsfilms]

Nice!

[@billiondollarman3847]

Open your window, put a fan on and have a plate of kippers beside U while watching this walk to get the true feel !

[@garrymartin6474]

What no tidal swimming pool ? 🤣 I guess the tde would have made that a bit tricky . Great video I enjoyed it

[@brutaltooth3900]

😂 Oh you crack me up mate, love your Gimbals. The signature white trainers at 16:30 haha nice one 😂 You always take the time to focus in on the notice boards and stuff, the interesting bits, structures not just at floor level but above and shops windows too so we can really check out the place. Thanks for another great walk 👍

[@davidsheriff8989]

Spent a great week here in 1985....but steep cliffs and kids we never went back...

[@philipparose1995]

I thought Polzeath beach was big (not sure if it’s pronounced Pol-zeh-th or pol-zeee-th) 😂 This one was huge! Enjoying the Cornwall content, Gimbal, thank you! ☺️

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks Pippa! I don’t even attempt to pronounce places down here - I’d never get them right 🤣

[@philipparose1995]

@@GimbalWalkTV I try to pronounce things but would probably get it wrong too! The Cornish language is fascinating to me, I’d love to learn more about it!

[@DanCollinsPhotography]

Great video mate, my family and I stay in Perranporth every year when we go on holiday. We absolutely love it there. My fiancée is from Derbyshire, she’s rather hardy when it comes to inclement weather too. Her grandmother was from just outside Perranporth which is one of the reasons we go there and it makes her quarter Cornish too.

[@joyhursey1480]

It’s spectacular when the sea is rough .Hope you did not get to wet.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Was ok thankfully 🤣🤣

[@beradogs922]

Only ever been there in winter to avoid the crowds. Bet it’s horrendous in summer.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes very busy

[@jameswiglesworth5004]

I live a few miles away, It's rammed in Summer, parking impossible in sunny weather, unless you arrive early

[@alexturpin5975]

Could you do a walk through of the how is plymouth?

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Definitely - it's on the list!

[@keithvincent322]

While I agree the beach is lovely, if not a little exposed when it's windy. I have always found the town a little underwhelming, can't put my finger on it, perhaps the roads are too wide. Certainly worth a day visit.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I know what you mean Not a lot there either

[@julieeagles4899]

12:55 looks very open and exposed Never been Glad you could film it then i could see it

[@adrianbew9641]

As a cornishman if I'm not wrong perranporth is a town not a village.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes correct I put it on the video title too!

[@debradela-nougerede7104]

Why didn't you walk towards the north end a bit? At least to where the steps go up the cliffs on the right, you seemed to concentrate only on the town end. Good film of Chapel Rock though.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks

[@JohnMyatt-ko5rz]

We got fined on Station road private car park for underestimating our stay, you need to put in your arrival time when paying for your parking on exiting, beautiful place though.

[@haroldjones9321]

~5:35 mark. I noticed the Browns shop sign. I likely have a connection through a surname Brown, because of my having Welsh ancestry. How common is the surname Brown in Cornwall? 😢

[@maxwolfe7194]

You missed our favourite place, Wetherspoons.

Can’t beat a spoons Their beef madras is quality too

Well I live in Perranporth...it's a village doesn't matter what Google says..Locals call it a village. Google Not always right only as good as what people input data .. Perhaps Google needs fact checking..

Not for me I’m afraid!
