SKEGNESS IS LOOKING GOOD - LETS SEE WHATS NEW IN THE SEASIDE TOWN

Skegness is showing promise, with exciting developments underway. In the coming weeks, as new establishments like the McDonald's, the complex near Bottons, the revamped Wetherspoons and Alison's, and various renovations take shape, we anticipate a significant transformation in this seaside town. Join me for a tour to witness the evolving landscape.

[@ICanPlayPiano]

Best thing in Skeggy is that fantastic beach. No mud. And that smell of the sea in the air. You don't get that on the western side of England or in Wales. Miles of sand to walk and walk and walk. The pier's great too....and it's FREE.....sorry Weston super Mare! And the journey there is full of fantastic scenery, rolling Wolds villages or open bright Fenland skies for birdwatching. No boring old motorways. I can't wait to get Skegged up again! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@LouiseCooper-bv2zj]

🎉🎉🎉🎉I ❤ skegness all year round but definitely prefer it in winter not to packed out ❤the aquarium lovely view from bistro window perfect food and drink bit pricey though🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@russskinner]

I am glad you mentioned the plenty of room on the beach as during WW2 my Father flew Whitley bombers from Linton-on-ouse and one night coming back from a raid on Germany they ran out of fuel and just managed to reach the coast and had to land on Skegness beach which was in the process of being mined the following day after being refueled they took off down the tracks they made while landing to avoid setting off any mines.

[@neilrgreatestadventures]

That’s amazing what a hero, that’s a brilliant story, thank you for sharing it, and one day when I am back on the beach I will mention this on one of my videos. Thank you Russ 👍🙏

I really miss the beach and the warm Skegness people when I'm not there so I do like to see what's happening in Skegness with your videos. Looks like a lot of new and exciting things. Sad to see meanie Bobini's has shut down- always good food and music in there. Can't wait to come over in July :D

[@neilrgreatestadventures]

Thank you 🙏

[@Rob1972Gem]

Skegness has been dying for years they’ve made the seafront. From the clocktower down to the beach looks brilliant chip pan. Looks like a bloody ghost town has done for the last 10 years, compared to what it used to look like back in better times I live in Boston 35 minutes up the road I’ll have a drive up to Scagg just for a drive out. Have a walk round maybe 25 minutes late you’ve seen the lot in my opinion for what it’s worth. Mablethorpe is a better day out as long as the weather is on your side.

[@martinwebb1681]

Not been to Skeggy since I was a young kid, miles and miles of sand and one of England's best bird reserves is not fat away, as is one of England's best food scenes. Skegness is great, looking forward to going there again (oh and Radio Caroline reception on 648 in Skeggy ain't bad either)

Yes, the only thing that spoils Skegness is the view from the beach, nothing but wind turbines, used to be a lovely view before they put those monstrosities there.

[@ratman5229]

Great video, we used to spend two weeks every year in Skegness and had a great time. We always stayed in one of the sea front hotels but last year we were unable to because the hotel was housing asylum seekers that had come over on their rubber boats. I’ve been told they have now vacated all the seafront hotels but the hotels are now in a poor condition so it’s unlikely we will be coming to Skegness again

[@neilrgreatestadventures]

Apparently there all being renovated there is also loads more hotels along the sea front that they did not stay in that are open now

Scarborough is exactly the same run down and over run with the boat brigade

The lumley shopping plaza does close at 4pm in the winter and 5pm in the season, but skeg goes absolutely dead after 4pm in the winter, Quite a few of the shops close around 4 or around then, Apart from a handful most shops close at either 4pm or 5pm not 6pm.

Hi usest to live in Skegness years ago

[@cliffcook3993]

For me the problem with Skeggy is not the town its on a par with other seaside towns its access to the town, i live on the east side of the UK but i can actually get to Blackpool faster due to its good motorway connections, skeggy needs a better road to there either a motorway or a dual carriageway.

[@neilrgreatestadventures]

Definitely 👍

[@martinwebb1681]

Will never happen, the population for the whole county of Lincolnshire is just 778,000 thousand people, and Lincolnshire receives hardly any tourists, the population of Lancashire is 1,266,000 thousand people, that's over one and a quarter million. Lancashire also has far more tourists and far more cities Lancaster, Blackpool, Blackburn, Preston, Burnley, Leyland, Chorley etc, etc, and is close to many other large areas like Merseyside and Greater Manchester. Lincolnshire on the other hand is close to nothing, it has rural counties situated at both ends of it.

Love Skegness..but sadly since covid caravan rental prices have increased so much.Now holiday in Greece for the same price.Train fare to get to Skegness a joke too.
