St Ives, jewel of Cambridgeshire.

[@essextrails]

Thanks David. I lived in St Ives 40 years ago and your video really captured the essence of the place. There has been a lot of development since I left. I remember that traffic was allowed over the old bridge then! Loved the shot of the Lord Protector at the beginning.

[@arcadia449]

I really like that place. I could live there.

[@conradrose7048]

I grew up in and around St.ives, went to secondary school there, still have family live there. Way back in 1978 there was a metal detecting shop in the alleyway of the wood framed building next to the bridge as you go into the town, just over the bridge going out of town was Sinclair electronics, of Sir Clive Sinclair fame, I used to work there. The town has expanded quite a bit since I left in 1986, I still visit family there and if I had the chance I would like to move back one day, the town holds lots of happy memories of my childhood and friends.

[@arcadia449]

I'd love to live there.

[@brianaw111]

We lived in St.Ives for 11 years up until 1989 when we had to move away. Thanks for this delightful reminder of just how nice the centre of town is, much has changed and much is still the same, we had some very happy years there as our children grew up.

[@hell0hkitty]

[@arcadia449]

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

[@howardronan1339]

i guess I am kinda off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online ?

[@legendmitchell3040]

@Howard Ronan i would suggest flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@alexandersam1696]

@Legend Mitchell yea, I have been watching on FlixZone for months myself :D

[@howardronan1339]

@Legend Mitchell Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!!

[@legendmitchell3040]

@Howard Ronan you are welcome :D

[@HiVizCamo]

Visited twice in 2 weeks, very glad to find this beautiful spot, would love to live there or close. Nicely shot, thank you.

[@MichaelBeeny]

I went to school at St. Ivo. We moved to St.Ives as my father was in the RAF at Wyton. In later years I worked evenings at the Regal Cinema as a projectionist. I also opened a HiFI shop in the town centre. Before that I worked at the old mill, just over the bridge testing amplifiers for Cambridge Audio..... I now live in New Zealand. Anyone remember me??

[@arcadia449]

I wouldn't mind living in St. Ives. It's a lovely town.

[@alexandergunn5143]

I went to St Ivo school, I don't remember you or your shop but I may have been too young to remember

[@bazbradshaw]

Worked on a lot of the roofs on your vidio nice to see St Ives again. I live in lincolnshire now have you any film of Whittlesey. Nice memories. .

[@arcadia449]

No films of Whittlesey yet. Working my way across Essex at the moment.

[@annturrell8858]

Thanks David for another lovely journey. I went there once in the 1960s, I think it looks better today.

[@arcadia449]

I love the place. I wished I could live there.

[@SuperWildone88]

Thank you for making beutifull videos, i have allways wonted to go to England since as a Child i watched a film about Beatrix Potter and the Lake district. I love the history and the nature.

[@arcadia449]

You must do it some time.

[@Amileo350]

Very nice video of my hometown.

[@lauralauristan7677]

Miss this place so much

[@arcadia449]

I can understand that. I would love to live there.

[@lauralauristan7677]

David Stuckey I loved living there.

[@jimkofron8638]

Lovely town. Great video.I typically spend 2 weeks a year in Huntingdon visiting from the states. My daughter lives there. Visited back in March. A little sad because I would be planning my 2021 trip about now and not possible due to Covid.

[@arcadia449]

I had so many village walks planned for this year but COVID has screwed things up completely.

[@2019freddie]

I was born in St Ives, it all went downhill from there...

[@novianovioTV]

Genteel. For churchcrawlers the chapel is a must-see

[@arcadia449]

Which chapel?

[@DLWhyte]

Lovely video, beautifully and thoughtfully done. I'm only slightly disappointed I didn't see myself in any of the shots 😂

[@arcadia449]

Thank you for the comment.

[@ncbluegrassevents1984]

Anyone been to Covington, Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom ? My ancestors were from there. Covington’s - came to America and I ended up in NC

[@arcadia449]

Is Covington the surname?

[@ramh7423]

Lovely David. Can you tell me what is the background score?

[@arcadia449]

It's called 'Whirlwind Love'. From the KZbin Audio Library.

[@Glunic]

I live here

[@normandavies7603]

There is no doubt, St. Ives is a beautiful town, but David you will have to do something about the CAMERA FOCUS.

[@arcadia449]

I was having problems with that camera. I now have a new one.

[@mattinfullvision9598]

I live in St. Neots and to be honest I prefer St. Neots having experienced it but St. Ives is quite nice

[@arcadia449]

I've not been into St Neots yet?

[@mattinfullvision9598]

@@arcadia449 I mean it depends on what you like really, if you like pubs, barbers and charity shops come to St. Neots. If you like shopping or going to night clubs don't come to St. Neots

[@arcadia449]

@@mattinfullvision9598 Blimey! St Neots sounds just like Hertford, and many other towns?

[@mattinfullvision9598]

@@arcadia449 I mean for me it's alright, it's somewhere you can go for a quiet life (with the occasional trip to the pub of course) but a lot of people who live in St. Neots can't wait to get out

The Venice of Britain.

[@arcadia449]

That's a good way of looking at it?

[@katrinaward5769]

I’m lucky I live here

[@arcadia449]

Have you had flooding there just recently?

[@mehmoodsheraz2449]

I have been there very beautiful place most of the time we go for pizza Pakistani shop

[@arcadia449]

I'll have to try that next time I'm there.

[@nikkik3263]

Cambridgeshire isn't very lush. Hardly any trees. Just fields and shrubs. Such a shame. Nothing like Surrey or Kent

[@alexandergunn5143]

There are quite a lot of wooded areas, you just have to look in the right places.

[@lauralauristan7677]

Who cares? It’s still beautiful.
