Torbay Coast And Cockington Walk

[@agnespm4181]

thank you for the lovely video. Many years ago I worked at the studio in Cockington. I have loved the village ever since. so many happy memories. I look forward to spending some time back in Torbay - hopefully in the not too distant future!

[@OlbanijForevel]

Author, I admire your ability to admire. I respect people who have not lost their childish enthusiasm. Thank you for your good movie and good mood!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's the benefit of never growing up! :)

Never forget what it's like to be 6 years old

@@AQUAHOLIC : Another excellent video & as enjoyable as your previous Torbay Amazing Scenery & Houses walk along.

[@YourRoyalHighness]

I am living vicariously through you Nick since I'm all cooped up in my apartment in NYC. Such a beautiful and enchanting place.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Another one next week, and a superyacht tour on Sunday. Stay tuned! :)

[@puzzler46]

Thanks so much for posting your walks. I am really enjoying see part of the UK as I live in California. I enjoy all of your videos, keep up the great work.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, more coming! :)

[@richardbloore9480]

What a lovely 23 plus minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed your walk Nick. I must say that cricket pitch looks a pretty special place to play...great video@

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@steveridgewaynrtgo]

What an amazing area to grow up in. To have that kind of history within walking distance......I just have no words. Incredible, beautiful, fascinating. I kept waiting for you to go on about the boats in the marina in the back of my mind. lol I hope you can spend more time in Cockington in a future video. It must be very nice when all the shops are open Thanks for sharing your world with us Nick. Nice video!

[@andrewspooner8146]

I love it "children are stupid" .... Yes they are.

[@ashleypierce8500]

As a father of 3 myself ... yes children ARE stupid LOL.

[@mikebruce6234]

Great thanks Nick. Whilst the area tours are really nice to see, Looking forward to the yaght tours again as we all are. Could you tour some of the Galleon fleet please. Cheers.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Very much hoping to but can't tour anything at the moment, hence the walking videos.

[@stn0920]

Speaking as a citizen of the USA and someone who hasn't been outside the states (except for various Caribbean islands) I must say I REALLY appreciate the architecture and history there. Basically every building there is WAY older than my entire country. Fantastic, and a photographers dream!

[@pookatim]

Sir, I think this is a brilliant idea to provide interesting content during these difficult times. It is a good way to show what is ashore as well as what is aboard beautiful boats. For people in urban areas who are shut in now, this is a wonderful little virtual excursion for the mind.

[@Kingjay814]

I live in arguably one of the most charming towns in FL and it doesn't hold a candle to this place. I rarely get jealous of small towns but man I love that area

[@paulchambers6657]

Torquay, Brixham and Paignton, lovely places where my parents took me as a child.

[@AntonKramer]

Thanks, Nick for taking us with you for a nice walk in a beautiful British town. Who needs a superyacht if you can have a walk like this every day in such a beautiful surrounding. I am from the Netherlands and visited the English east and northeast coast more than a couple of times on sail, but you definitely inspired me to change course the next time and set sail to the south. ( You should have a dog (name it Miele) it would be the happiest dog in the world )

[@123boat]

Anton Kramer Start from Chichester Harbour in the South of England and head west, hug the coastline until you reach John o' Groats in Scotland. Absolutely beautiful coastline. I'm sure Nick would agree 😀👍

[@minicookievlogsofficial7748]

What a lovely and serene place. Wish I could walk there with my family someday... Thank you Nick..

[@namits3775]

Another great tour Nick. Very surreal that it is so quiet during these strange times. Its nice to see the area. Perhaps you could do "short" tour videos on you travels. Would be nice to see around Miami and Cannes as an example. Maybe we wont get a video on your shoes review ;)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

There are tours of Miami and Cannes on the channel funnily enough, also Antibes and Monaco.

[@namits3775]

Thank you!

[@brodypilcher3643]

How many steps did u get on that walk...looks like u covered some ground...it’s crazy how that town is it’s like you’re in a totally different era of time...I can’t believe that one cottage was 500 years old

Great Nick very natural...felt I was walking beside you. That part of England is a fav of mine Now living in Queensland Aus and a regular viewer of your vids. Thanks keep going my friend....

[@dacamstafool]

A very calming video in unusual times. Thanks for keeping us all sane Nick! :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LoudValves]

Another great and beautiful walk, I really enjoyed this and looking forward to more. You have discovered another string to the Aquaholic bow and have taken to it like the proverbial duck!

[@juancardona9440]

Love how quiet it can be early in the morning with the outstanding natural background music (birds chirping)! Thank you for your videos and stay safe!!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you, you too!

[@ashleypierce8500]

Juan Cardona yeah I really noticed the birds too. It was a spectacular soundscape.

[@losttribe3001]

Could you start some sort of “beatification” group to find volunteers and paint some of the rusty bits? And yes, that riot fencing is odd. But it’s a beautiful place and I’m slightly jealous. I live in Salt Lake City,and miss the ocean. We do have the Great Salt Lake, but has a very funky smell. The one thing we have are places like Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon that are absolutely gorgeous so it’s not too bad. That said, I enjoyed see your walk.

[@lyndonmason8851]

Brilliant, again took me back to the early 80’s holidays and you even showed Cockington mill pond! Thank you sir 👍

[@jackirichard414]

I enjoy your walking videos. I get to see the pretty places you go to.

[@karengreenfield8323]

Thank you for yet another informative video much appreciated xxx

You bought back some memories from 10 years ago visiting Cockington with the children. Cheers Nick 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Wildbot34]

Wow, lovely vid thank you for taking us on that little adventure. I all of a sudden would love to visit that area

[@sophiedolman2230]

Great episode of Stompaholics. Cockington looks like a fab day out! It's sad how the seaside towns of the UK are often so neglected. On a good day, our coastline is hard to beat, yet the towns seem to rely so much on their past glory days to attract visitors. I have friends that live in Torquay centre, and I know there are certainly challenges with some of the locals! Fabulous place to live though. That constant sea air. I envy you !! Take good care Nick. Xx

[@gareth36]

Never heard of Cockington before but it's gone straight on the to do list,looks like a beautiful place to visit,so thanks for sharing. Some nice toys in that marina,again haven't walked that part for many years,last time I'm sure there were bars underneath that new development,could be wrong mind was a long long time ago. Come on the powers that be in Torbay a lick of paint wouldn't go a miss along there.

[@rames1651]

Lovely tour Nick. Thank you.

[@normbond8888]

Again good walking historical video Nick as we in Ontario Canada are still waiting for spring to make an appearance. The scenery was fantastic even palm trees & other greenery as springtime in the UK. The lakes should be called ponds or overgrown puddles for if you can’t float a boat in them the designation of lake is an oxymoron but nevertheless in a beautiful scenic location. I see you guys still drive on the wrong side of the road LOL perhaps you might educate those who don’t know that origin to the reason why. Keep up the travelogue Nick I enjoy your videos & insights.

[@bouwmr]

You live in a very beautiful part of the world. My city has a history that goes back to the middle ages too, but most of it is packed in the city centre so it has a very different atmosphere. A lot of KZbinrs struggle to get videos out in this weird world we live in now, your walkabouts are a nice change to the channel and help me relax. Sure I am looking forward to watching full access tours of mega yachts but until then these videos will do very nice. Thank you for sharing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@fordsandfamilyfiascos6535]

The people who only watch your yacht videos are really missing out on the incredible scenery of your walking videos. Also they are missing out on your humor "children are stupid" lmao. 🤣🤣🤣

[@taszio3751]

A rainy, damp, chilly, and raw AM here in Pennsylvania. I stumbled upon your other video...loved it..so looked especially for another one, and based on this, would suggest you do this regularly. You've got a good eye..except for the fact you never just go right up to the door of some of the more interesting houses, knock and ask for a look around inside..now that's a video!! Joking of course. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I could 'yacht tour' them as I pass! :D

[@graemewoodruff9988]

[@nardusvdv]

Wow! I really enjoy all the boats that you show. Don't miss any of those. We are in a 5 week lockdown and are not allowed to leave our homes. Seeing your videos about your hometown makes me feel I am traveling, I am on a adventure! I was actually sad when it ended. Back to the reality of lockdown, I suppose...Thanks man!

I believe they were going for a sort of cruise liner look for the building.

[@grey8ghost1]

Thank you for sharing the areas many of us will not be able to see anytime soon or for those of us in the colonies perhaps never. In these trying times your walking in nature with all of its sights and sounds is just the elixir we need to help us cope with sheltering in place. For those critics who only see you as a one dimensional yacht reviewer, perhaps they cannot see the forest for the trees. I sincerely appreciate your humanity.

That is definitely something I like about Britain. The history. Cockington. Amazing. I really appreciate old architecture. Over here in Canada we might se something a couple of hundred years old, but to see something from the 1500’s. Brilliant. Thank you for taking us on a journey in time

Thank you for that calming and tranquil walking tour! Torquay is such a beautiful part of England. You made me really miss it and stirred old and fond memories from when I lived there. Please keep posting!

[@CloneDaddy]

I'm enjoying these intimate little walks of yours. They remind me of my youth, before motorised transportation was a thing in my life. I never had such a detailed knowledge of my surroundings as I did when I was young and walked *everywhere* . For instance, I haven't walked around Cockington since 1989/1990. These days, it's all main roads and A to B. And you miss out on all the little nooks and crannies. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome :)

[@petercordingley927]

Hi Nick, I did say I envied you on the last waking video, now I think you are just rubbing it in..lol. Great video though, I thought I would do one myself of Banbury, with a lovely industrial estate to my right and the stunning M40 to my left. To be fair I'm not far from the beautiful countryside, but I love the sea. Keep up the great work and stay safe

[@BellavistaPEI]

Hey Nick, my wife and I thoroughly enjoy having our morning tea and coffee watching your videos, but we especially enjoy the walking tours through what HAS to be the prettiest location in England!! All that being said, we have never been to England yet so we really can't compare! If only there was a hidden microphone to hear the "OOOOHS" and "AHHHS" coming from our mouths, it would be quite funny! Honestly, your piece of England is quite FANTASTIC!!! THANK-YOU and stay safe!!!

Thank you Nick, another amazing & beautiful video. You are quite correct, living in a small flat in Exeter with no views, Torquay does feel like a 1000 miles away. Some years ago, whilst traveling past all the new road works to Torbay, my wifes son Robert, who was in the back of the car, said ` Mum i didn`t know plants are heavy and why do they want to cross` I said to him, Robert, have you ever watched Dads Army `Yes, but whats got to do with Heavy plant crossing` he replied, and we both spontaneously said You stupid boy!!!

[@tomhunter7536]

Nice video, one bit I really noticed was the birds singing and the really nice parkland. I'm in Lanzarote and we never get much of the birds, a few but not many. Also we are still in total lockdown, and are not allowed yet to go out walking. Everywhere is dead at this time. This despite our very low infection rate, in fact in Puerto del Carmen, no cases at all. Anyway it will improve eventually, we hope, as we need tourists to survive. But weather is normally good.

Last one. Dad story from me. When my eldest son was little he used to want to sleep with his head under the pillow. It used to scare the hell out of us as parents. I told him one night that if he slept with his head under the pillow the tooth fairy would come along and take all his teeth out! I also informed him he would get about £30 for all those teeth. Nevertheless, he had a nightmare that night and told his mum the next day what I had said. The wife put me on the naughty step for a week!
