I'ts so nice the winter gardens have not changed

[@mattgrantham3161]

I loved living in Bournemouth back in my very early 20’s and going to uni there! It’s definitely changed a fair bit by the looks of it. Glad I moved to Australia, but Bournemouth will always hold good memories!

[@michellelang5265]

I live in London and spend most of the summer in Bournemouth ,I love the gardens and the beautiful sandy beaches ❤❤❤

[@williamstringer6519]

I returned in retirement to my native Australia but have happy memories of forty years living in England. These remanences of Bournemouth are so nostalgic.

[@mickparker3726]

Unfortunately the town centre is shocking, nowhere has as many empty boarded up shops as Bournemouth, its sad and run down.

[@explorizm]

Thanks for watching Mick!

[@Simonski8]

Seen a lot of decline over the last 3 years. However, outside Bournemouth like Westbourne are lovely - mostly as no hens, stags, drunks, homeless etc

[@Steve_W27]

If you think that nowhere has more boarded up shops than Bournemouth, you haven’t really been to many other places I’m guessing..

@mick Parker you don’t get out much do you! Every town has a plethora of boarded up shops!

Bmth was the place to be back in the late 90s, early 2000's. The club scene was amazing and the general night life was 2nd to none. Shops were as good as its ever been. Now it's nothing like it was. Not the town it used to be for sure

[@sallydimmock7813]

Quite amazed that not much litter, I was born here, I left age 22yrs. Great place to grow up. Wonderful beaches and clubs. My brother played in the bandstand in the gardens. Have been back and the gardens remain recognisable. The fly over killed Bournemouth. Great memories

Hahahaha paradox new?? Only been there(in the exact same spot)for about 20+ years hahhahaa I'm nearly 40 and used to go there when I was in school

[@eileenmaycock1046]

Liked having a look along the shopping centre, am surprised just how many lovely shops are closed, just a suggestion can you do a walk from the gardens up the other side towards the triangle and the shops at the top. Great video and very interesting.

[@explorizm]

Absolutely! I may of already covered that area, I have loads more video in the area on my channel. Thanks for watching Eileen.

Well to early for party goers, does not start night life until about 22:00 then it get’s messy and fight club lol, did a lot of partying in Bournemouth over the years now it’s dead and full of druggies and closed shops👍🇬🇧

[@garymcmahon3981]

Not quite what I think of as a Saturday night in Bournemouth, more late afternoon, you would never get away with wearing the camera on a Saturday night, you would be mugged, and this is far too civilized for what a night in Bournemouth is really like 😀😀

I saw allot of closed down businesses and not many people. And out of the people I did see, very few looked like they were there to shop.

Hi, did you go and watch the Red Arrows? Wow, was fabulous. I went into the complex where the cinema is and had a frozen yoghurt pineapple, mango and strawberry. You ever had one?

Nice video - I lived in Bournemouth for over 40 years, been away for 7 years now, but I must say the Gardens look lovely and the Pier Approach looks great too. A little sad to see the shops in Old Christchurch Road boarded up and at the top end towards the Landsdowne looks like it has nothing but fast food places. But I enjoyed the walk with you.... 😊

I used to go to Bournemouth every year as a kid (generally at the Hinton Firs) for 6 years. Loved it. I recognise the road and hotel names. Been back a few times since, various hotels, but HF was in there. Was there again a month ago and the town has gone down hill a bit. Town centre shops boarded up, grafitti, not how I remember it. Stayed at The Green House. The HF is looking very sorry for itself now. The pool had no water and was looking in very bad shape. I spent hours in there! Sad to see.

[@explorizm]

I think this is a common trait with most seaside towns. Margate is the same! Or at least it was! Thanks for watching John

[@JohnnyD_cm]

@@explorizm It was nice to watch the tour as I'd just been! Thanks for the extra time I sort of spent there!

[@stevebevan3669]

Yes there are a lot of boarded up shops in town but that's because the rent is outrageous. Outside of central London, Bournemouth is the most expensive place to live in the UK, were in the top ten/fifteen in the world alongside Dubai, LA, and NY.

[@mig7290]

I doubt it's comparable to LA, SF, London, Tokyo etc

Yeah Bournemouth has some crazy prices!!!

[@ryzamac3918]

No sandbanks is, not actually Bournemouth!

[@Captainraskett1989]

First off pet peev... the percentages on your weather app are not for chances of rain it's for coverage, so when it does rain in that area it means e.g 80 percent of that area will be rained on. Use to love Bournemouth in my teens a good 17 years ago 😂 it's gone down hill so much it's a shame.

[@Suzannesmith6335]

I live in Bournemouth but I no longer tell people that because I am horrified how Bournemouth town has gone down hill I think boscombe is better which tells you a lot about how Bournemouth has gone down hill, the gardens and beach is still lovely but that’s all

[@explorizm]

Im hearing this from alot of people!

[@martinh8679]

Sadly,Bournemouth has lost its heart now. It used to be a lovely town that catered for all budgets and tastes. You could watch Mike Yarwood on the pier or catch The Damned at the Chelsea Village Bowl.Then you could grab a kebab in Holdenhurst road or a 5 star nosh up at the Royal Bath hotel. It would welcome the blue rinse brigade and the spikey haired punks with equal warmth even if they didn't particularly gel with each other. Violence was rare and was usually confined to a bout of drunken fisticuffs resulting in a black eye and a bruised ego. Unlike now, there was a fairly low key drug culture which was mainly indulged behind the scenes. The only exception to the rule would be if Hawkwind were playing the Winter Gardens and you would be stoned as soon as you took a breath in the foyer! I realise that that I may have " rose tinted glasses syndrome " but i did really love the place and am so disappointed at the way it's been allowed to decline. Oh,by the way kids....Hawkwind?. asked your grandad 🤣

[@explorizm]

Im going to ask my Grandad what that means haha! Thanks for watching!

[@ralphthebulldog5163]

Go further up to Christchurch it's beautiful

[@explorizm]

Hi Ralph, I actually plan on going up there soon! Woof!

[@theresajokeintheresomewher6240]

Wiggles was the registrar. I got married there 30 years ago Also the reason the shops are all closed is because the business rates are sky high and all the shop owners ran away! Apparently the council still haven't learnt any lessons and shops are continuing to close all the time. Bournemouth used to be beautiful but now its just and endless stream of barbers, restaurants, dodgy phone shops and cafes. Apparently primark are thinking of moving to Castle point. That will be the coffin nail for the town centre

I live in CharWinton, that’s half way between Charmy and Winton and both my grandparents were from London so that’s why I thought I heard a bit of London (or surrounding areas) in your accent.

Lived in Boscombe in mid 90's and it was ok, if a bit grimy. Towards the eastcliff is nice, with all the trees, walks, gardens and what was fairly unspoilt top of the cliff then. Went there in 2016 and was not impressed, especially going down to Boscombe pier. Looking east, the frontage is all water sport stuff, looking west is an eyesore of junk on the prom edge and beach! Used to be a clear view to Bournemouth pier, not anymore! It's like new age people got onto councils around the country and are all for anything that looks an eyesore! Bournemouth beach was always heaving with people, but someone feels the need to put on events every day! Those modern art things are a waste of money and are everywhere....those damn upside down houses and a big wheel are everywhere too! Kind of boring if you ask me, making seafronts look like high streets of every town! I like the original uniqueness of a place Money only goes so far, so too many things going on in a small space is self defeating. Just have people enjoy the gardens, the beach, a show, amusements, a host of places to eat and the views unique to an area etc.
