Walks in England: Would YOU come to Worthing?

It is a busy Saturday morning as I take a stroll through Worthing in West Sussex, the seaside resort on the south coast. But what do you think of the place? Would you come here for a holiday or day trip?

20years ago when I was a high school student I stayed in Worthing. I learnt English in Swandean School of English and stayed in local house. As you know my English skill has not been improved that was a short stay and I haven't studied English hard after coming back to Japan. However I studied more important things there. My life in Worthing was really really fun and amazing. Today suddenly and fortunately I remembered Worthing and finally came to this video. I miss Worthing and the family which took care of me. At that time host father had already retired. They had a dog. Thanks for reading my comment.

[@tinlo5534]

I am a Hongkonger. Worthing is so lovely. Richard, thank you for sharing. I am going to retire and have a plan to leave for the UK. I'm considering Worthing as my future home. I believed I would spend my entire life in Hong Kong which was a great city I love. Hong Kong is not the same now. It's so sad that I have to leave. See you soon Worthing.

[@robpbandit]

We’d love to have you here in Worthing. 👍 I’ve been to Hong Kong, an amazing place but as you say sadly not the same now.

[@tinlo5534]

@@robpbandit I am so touched by the incredible warmth of your welcoming.

[@robpbandit]

@TheClassicalSymphony yea poole hasn’t got much to offer either. Worthing is/was a lovely seaside town a lot better than Hong Kong under Chinese rule.

[@robpbandit]

@TheClassicalSymphony been there done that. We’ve got some nice places too in Worthing. Lakes, hills/countryside, beach etc Same shit different dog.

[@paulhamj6175]

@TheClassicalSymphony oh look at the two of you ffs! I will just offer a third opinion, that of the person from the United Kingdom who happily states that I LOVE my country so much for it has so many beautiful towns like Poole and Worthing, and so many medieval villages -in counties like Sussex especially, where you can check out Alfriston and East Dean for starters. Both beautiful places to live if you are coming from another country and have a bit of cash to spend, because they ain't cheap! Then we should be mentioning the gorgeous Northern counties of England as there exists such gems as Yorkshire, where you will find unmatched beauty and people with such a friendly countenance that you'll not believe they arent family. It's just the way in Yorkshire, they treat you like their own. Not only Yorkshire but the north of England in general you'll find a difference in the people. They are much more trusting and open up there for some reason. Then we have Scotland. I simply do not have enough time and certainly lack space here to tell you about that stunning place. Wales, too. Stunning. If you are from another country and are reading this and so happen to be planning a visit to the UK then please heed me when I tell you: Visit all countries of the U.K. because each has such a different slant from the others. They all are unique! Oh and make sure you drop in on a lovely place called Dartmoor! One of the few places to still have wild horses roaming the moors! And don't worry, they pretty much don't care about people and won't attack you. I advise you rent a car in Exeter, Devon and drive through Dartmoor, stopping at one of the car parks you'll see just by the roadside in some old woodlands. Park up and join the other walkers through the ancient woods, drinking in the freshest of fresh air as you stroll by slowly. Try to go there in the summer as it's just gorgeous. Very lush, very green and very very memorable, trust me. And once you've finished there get back on the road and you will come to a very small place where the road crosses over the tiny river or stream by way of a small stone bridge. There are a couple of shops and a cafe next to this little picnic area at the wee bridge so park up and get a lovely cup of tea and sit by the babbling brook hehe

[@OldAhhSayHarry]

living in worthing myself its funny seeing someone walking through my town ;D

[@RichardVobes]

Great stuff. The town has its merits. Thanks for watching.

[@MrMatt_Gray]

Same, I live here too

[@tianiiiii7726]

Ikr lol

[@madisonmay4727]

the man sitting outside McDonald's had a dog with only 3 legs and every time i walked in worthing town i used to see him and give him a wave and some of my change or a bottle of water and then i think he got some help and i kinda miss dancing along with my mum to his songs that he plays on his guitar but i happy that he has moved on.

[@callumyates20]

I cant wait to come back to this video in about another 30 years and see the difference

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Oscar Wilde wrote 'The Importance of Being Ernest' while staying at a house on the sea front at New Parade, East Worthing. I live near Worthing. You make it look quite nice. In reality it is a bit chavvy though. The pier's nice.

[@Schwabian]

Oh thank you.. I spent my childhood learning to ride a bike on the seafront with my Grandad, it bought back lovely memories ❤️❤️❤️💋

[@Duffy512]

I like the feel of Worthing. Walking around town would be very pleasant in the sun.

[@RichardVobes]

Oh yes - when it is warm Worthing is fab - although I do like walking on the pier when the sea is choppy - quite bracing!

[@RichardVobes]

Was sunny in Worthing this morinng. I was out filming in West Tarring. That was lovely too.

[@vapour8984]

Except from it’s most of the time raining

[@a2fact262]

Thank you very much for your videos Richard, from a watcher in Germany. You're doing a great job! I had the chance to visit a very good friend in Worthing several times years ago. Loved West Sussex and the beautiful region with its places (Coast, Brighton, Worthing, Arundel, Chichester, Weald and Downlands Museum, The south Downs, Cissbury, Pulborough, and and and...).

[@RichardVobes]

You are very welcome

[@thehammer3340]

I recognized everything during your walk. I am from America but visit my relatives in Worthing as often as possible. Worthing has such a nice charm feeling to it and I always loved playing along the seafront when I was a child. Cheers to Worthing. :)

[@RichardVobes]

Jonathan Thanks for the comment Jonathan and the praise for Worthing.

[@chimsuaumo]

I rather like the paint job on the bowling alley car park. The colour brightens it up and is an improvement from the boring plain grey.

[@RichardVobes]

chimsuaumo Oh I agree the grey is totally boring! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@alancox236]

Even better knock it down and copy one of lovely old buildings from the past which blends better with the other buildings. Other countries example Poland, Germany take pride in their heritage rebuilding their cities after the war instead we blight ours with appalling ugly buildings.

[@blom6930]

Lol they got rid of it

[@butterdog8092]

They put a restaurant/ bar thing up there and it’s quite nice

[@susanohneiser1140]

Great video!! I just found this by accident. My great, great grandfather owned a printing shop at 7 worthing st. In the late 1800’s. I hope to go to Worthing someday to see it for myself. Sorry, I meant to say 7 Warwick St!!

[@RichardVobes]

Oh how brilliant.

[@cherishandglowyourskinforwomen]

I love Worthing! Can’t wait to visit again.

[@RichardVobes]

I look forward to welcoming you.

[@kumangbronicabritten5504]

Thank you so much for this video. I would watch this video whenever i miss Worthing. I am from Malaysia.I was there for one month in 1997 attending a course at Crown Agents. I would love to visit Worthing again in future with my famiy.

[@RichardVobes]

My pleasure 😊 So pleased it brings a bit of Worthing to you.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Great video! Yes, I'd visit Worth, its only a train journey away from London!

[@Ctshihab]

I m from India, i had visited Worthing in 2016, stayed in Windsor Hotel. Such lovely and cool place. I like Worthing people, they are very friendly and awesome. Badly missing those days.. 🤗🤗

[@connor2094]

My familey and I are from Denmark, and we have been coming to Worthing for over 50 years! As my grandmother is from there. But because of my mom recently passing away, we have sold our spot on gratwicke road, and will surely miss coming there in the summer, going down montaque st and to the pier. lovely video to bring memories, and even with the sun out :o

[@marcoscu]

Nice looking town. Great video, many thanks.

[@ganovane]

I’ve been to Worthing a few times and it’s one my favorite places in the UK. Likely because I’ve dear friends who’ve resided there their whole lives. But I’ve grown to love it aside from that. I’ve stayed at the Chatsworth. Quite nice (but could’ve used AC in July). Love the seafront and the Pier. Love the charming residents. Love Cissbury Ring. Can’t wait to return! Thank you for this lovely video.

[@RichardVobes]

Totally agree!

[@djwarrior841]

Im spanish. I was live in Worthing for 2 years, its a wonderfull place. I have very special remenber. I really liked

So pleased you enjoyed your stay - thanks for coming!

Worthing is my hometown, even though I live overseas now in Ibiza. I still miss the place. Thank you and nice one. I used to sit in that Lido shelter a lot in my spare time.

[@RichardVobes]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marcintime]

Thanks so much for this smashing guided tour, Richard My home town, too, which I left for good yonks ago Looking really grand these days, so I’ll be back!

I would definitely come to Worthing! There is so much we want to see and Worthing is added to the list!

[@herbert9241]

Nice film. Evoked some rose tinted memories of a two-year stint in Worthing during my addled late teens. I did the Worthing-to-Victoria trip many a time, nights out in London. Had a tranquil oasis retreat among those cafes on Warwick Street. Had the occasional drink in that bowling alley but my local was the Beachcomber (better known as the New Street Inn), which you bypassed when you cut through that alley. Rarely able to bypass it myself, I lived round the corner on Marine Parade. Never partook of that pebbly, smelly-seaweedy beach but did enjoy the ambience of the fair along the prom on summer nights - and the convenient cuisine option it facilitated. Yes, I would, and indeed might yet, revisit Worthing - in a kind of 'Jack the Ripper tour' sense of retracing the footsteps of my late teen aberrations. No fairground hot dogs, though. And no getting drunk. And certainly no more ripping: I don't have the legs to scarper from the peelers like I once did. Not that they helped me to any great effect back in the day. Me and a mate scarpered up an alley (no euphemism) in avoidance of police pursuit after some misguided youthful shenanigan, I ran knee-first into a knee-high wall and somersaulted onto a pile of bin bags, matey took that as a cue and landed on top of me, serendipitously concealing us from the view of a copper who walked past seconds later. We gave it a minute, dusted ourselves down and calmly proceeded to traverse our escape route - and walked straight into a few more of 'em. It was a fair cop, we were resigned to a night of b & b with no television. Although at least I had my cigarettes, lighter and watch. Matey had surrendered his at the desk on checking in so he had enough for both of us when we were released a few hours later. To be honest, I think he was unnecessarily petulant about the whole incident. I was the one hobbling.

[@peterjalal4449]

I have visited Worthing several times and I have enjoyed it. I would like to visit Worthing again as it is a good place to relax and enjoy the weather

Not Worthing BUT I recently visited Eastbourne which is the butt of many jokes about the advanced age of the typical resident. I loved it ! Beautiful seafront and gardens. Beaches and pier . Stayed for 4 weeks and enjoyed every minute . Will visit Worthing next !!

[@Jane_and_Meg]

Yes! In fact, I have been their many moons ago! Only for the day sadly but I thought it was lovely and remember the seafront and pier well! Wonderful video Richard thank you!

Worrying looks like a very interesting town. You have a lot of shops and things going for it. I like the history of it. Did you do vaudeville type performances? It’s good to see all your shops doing so well. I hope they continue through the pandemic. Thank you for sharing your town with us. I’ve heard of some of your shops and YES I’d come to Worthing!

Hi Richard. That was an amazing video for us to watch because we are both so familiar with every inch that you covered. You are right about Montague Street previously having been open to traffic, I remember driving along there to work every day in the sixties. Thanks for the memories.

[@hypernorm4802]

So nice to see Worthing from your point of view. I can see the wind farm from my flat. I think it’s beautiful.

[@RichardVobes]

I am not a fan of the wind farm myself.

[@franceskelly7316]

@RichardVobes Unlike you I too see the windmills as beautiful, but better still, they will prove to be lifesaving if we can get fossil fuel use down. I'm writing this 5 years since you made the video and the climate emergency has developed faster than the scientists anticipated. We may already be too late at 1.2 degrees of warming, and I know every form of power generation has some drawbacks because there are so many of us to cater for, but the windfarms have benefit. I don't know how much harm they did to the seabed but I hear they, like shipwrecks, get colonised ultimately by marine life. Someone tell me if that's true. Actually the seaweed tale is interesting. We now have a protected marine area nearby and life in the kelp is returning, so we may have more seaweed on the beach in future, but let's hope more environmentally aware councillors will see the benefit of free fertiliser if it arrives on the beach again. For the benefit of those surprised by the shingle, it's built up every year to try & hold back the storms that could flood over the promenade otherwise. Sometimes the waves do crest over the top, so another reason to back windfarms to try & slow down rising sea levels. As for rain, well apparently there's a microclimate which is less rainy after heading west from Brighton, so actually lots of sun.

[@thefilmtube659]

Lovely Mr Vobes, (a)I'm watching this as the internet is not up, keep up the good work, been busy and haven't been able to keep up with your show, but still think it's wonderful!

Wow, this is the first of your videos that I have seen Richard and, it brought back so many memories for me. I lived in Worthing from birth until 1979 (aged 26). I haven't been back for many years, and the last time the town looked rather run down. I certainly remember Montague Street being a through road (my Mum worked at the Co-op Superm1arket), Last time I was in town, Warwick Street still had traffic as did Bank Passage. The only Arcade was off South St! I will certainy watch some more.

[@stewartanderson-bx7yr]

Stayed in Worthing 84 to 92 loved the place I moved back to Dundee but Worthing is always in my heart and thoughts

I'd happily visit Worthing... or anywhere in Sussex, really. Love the sea but I live on the Prairies in Canada, so not a lot of water here. Worthing looks really nice.

[@philipcracknell4442]

Do you notice the looks you get as you walk past people, camera in hand, and talking into your Mic. You get a number of double-takes not to mention the wave from the guy in the orange T-shirt. The promenade is delightful. Is Worthing the Sarasota of Sussex? Next time I am in England I think a walk along the promenade westwards and eastwards is a must!

[@RichardVobes]

Evening with KZbin being as popular as it is - you still get looks when filming yourself.

[@bullettube9863]

As usual I opened up Google maps to see where you were and what you were talking about. It looks like you live in a very nice small city! I really like that Worthing is so pedestrian friendly and that the people actually use the open shopping areas. Goring-by-sea also looks interesting and I'm thinking there must be a bit of history around the fact that two farms still operate so close to the sea. The land developers must be licking their lips and plotting how to steal that prime piece of real estate!

[@RichardVobes]

Yes, I bet they are plotting! :) Thanks for looking.

[@sealily6015]

I really enjoyed your tour. I have never been to Worthing so it was interesting to follow you around. I come from the seaside town of Weymouth in Dorset which is stunning and I love swimming in the clear sea. So no I wouldn't go to Worthing as I would hate swimming in the seaweed on a gravelly beach. But it does have more shops and a pier. I do love piers. Ours was demolished decades ago. I send my regards to Worthing!

[@RichardVobes]

Thanks so much for watching - I am in Dorset in the next few sets of videos, although have yet to film in Weymouth. I will come back!
