Hi, my family and I stayed at the Premier Inn on the sea front. It was a great hotel and in a prime position and a good base as we also visited the cheddar gorge which is only a short distance away, as well as Clarks village shopping outlet. On the whole we had a great weekend at Weston and would definitely recommend it for a weekend break. Good Luck.

£14 all day parking! At the moment it is kicking off in Seaham because the council introduced a £1.50 per hour charge or £3.00 all day along the seafront car parks! Admittedly it isn't a town the size of WSM but still. I don't know who writes these articles but they seem so very biased to favour certain resorts and knock others. Great video Watto.

AS CHILDREN IN THE EARLY 1950'S, WE, AND FAMILY, ALWAYS TRAVELLED DOWN TO WESTON FROM THE MIDLAND'S. FOR OUR HOLIDAYS. MUCH LATER, WE MOVED TO A VILLAGE 15 MILES FROM WESTON. LIKE ALL BRITISH TRADITIONAL SEASIDE TOWNS, THEY SUFFERED FROM THE MASS EXADOUS ABROAD, WHEN CHEAP TRAVEL PACKAGE HOLIDAY'S BECAME AFORDABLE. AND POPULAR. LIKE MOST SUCH TOWNS, THEY ARE AT THEIR BEST WHEN WE HAVE SUNNY AND WARM SUMMER'S. AND THE REVERSE WHEN WE DON'T. BUT, I VISITED W,S,M EARLIER THIS SUMMER, AND WAS PLEASED AND A LITTLE SURPRISED JUST HOW ATTRACTIVE THE SEA FRONT LOOKED, AFTER MUCH HARD WORK AND EXPENSE HAD BEEN APPLIED. I SAY, CHOOSE YOUR BEST DAY, WEATHERWISE, NEXT YEAR, AND GO SEE FOR YOUR SELF,AND IGNORE THE MOANER'S.

Great video. Haven't been to Weston for a long time, but spent many happy times there when the children were growing up in the 1990's. My parents had a static caravan in Warren Farm Caravan Park so Weston was only a 25 minute drive. Since covid, we've not been able to go anywhere, so your video brought back some great memories.

Drove passed it when I was a kid with my parents but we never stopped to see what it was like there. Well the beach and park looked fine to me with friendly squirrels too and I remember you taking your dad there as well. Paying to use the look in my pet hate when we are out and who carries cash about now anyway. One thing that is always the last to go is the amusements, which drive me bonkers but I did like the train and the House of Horrors - it all looks fine to me, cannot see a massive issue at all, cheers Alan

Hi Watto & Kim! The car park prices were rather steep. The sandy beach looked lovely. The Victorian architecture was attractive but some of the buildings looked rather run down and sad. The town didn't have too many closed shops and there seemed to be plenty of people around. Surprised you had to pay for the pier! Not in Norfolk. Overall, the resort looked pretty nice. A very well-researched and narrated video. Great job! 👍😊

It looks like a nice seaside town, it has the most important thing and that's a huge sandy beach area (we'll ignore the mud part!) The town centre looks neat and tidy, the gardens are well kept and there's no rubbish lying around. And as you said lots of people wandering around and shopping, all good for a a town centre. Sad that some commentators like to label places negatively, when really they're not that bad and actually quite nice.

As someone who's lived in Weston for the last 20 years it's certainly not a terrible place to live. I can think of many other places that are by far so much worse. There has been a decline over the years which isn't necessarily down to the town itself, but more so a reflection of the overall decline of the UK as a whole. Covid had a pretty significant impact on a lot of businesses that ended up closing. Not so much on the seafront or high street. But there are a lot of empty shops in the surrounding areas.

Great video Watto, I get so annoyed by all the videos slating Weston. It does have it's rougher areas which could do with some TLC (like all areas) but overall it's a really nice place and definitely currently doesn't deserve the reputation it has (the shopping centre puts the Galleries in Bristol to shame). There's a channel (Weston Super Man) which is promoting all the things Weston has to offer. And it has a bustling events calendar including GLOW (Glowing Lights of Weston), Weston Carnival and more!

It's not the place that's shitty, it's normally the people that are that ruin it! Otherwise, like you showed in your video it looks lovely, lots to do and enjoy, food places, a nice beach and the town centre is busy, with people going about their day and spending money!! Which is great to see. Overall it's a nice seaside town that is worth a trip too with some fish and chips and maybe an ice cream that could get nicked at any point by those bloody gulls!

Hi Watto and Kim, Fantastic walking tour..you are quite entertainer. hahahah Hmmm..I read description before started to watch the film. Well, I have no ide who exactly made that statement " Weston-Super-mare is the worst seaside resort." Nor what is that person's expectation. Especially, through the Pandemic, many small business suffered and find a way to survive. The old time charm may have evolved into modernized surrounded by mural, shops restaurants, and arcade(?) Nice to see so may visitors though. haha yes I learned about the range of low and high tides is large. hahah. Well done, Watto and Kim. Enjoy learning comparison, between past and present.

Parking there is just like downtown Halifax...you have to empty your wallet just to lay down the car. Always great to have a nice sandy beach to stroll along.

Sometimes I wonder where some negativity on some areas even gets its start.

The town looked pretty good especially liked the Italian garden area. The pier seems popular and quite lively.

Love squirrels. I love the new intro into your videos these days. I know what you mean about avoiding parking fees Paul. Thing is, was happening here too- now the council has extended the paid parking area into the neighbourhood. Residents need to apply for a permit. One car per family. Don't let the Greens find out there are still Donkey rides. You know the horses have to be removed off Merry-go-rounds don't you? Here there was a furore: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said: according to PETA Netherlands that the animals are used as "a means of transportation or entertainment" and that's BAD for the animals 😱😱😱😱😱😱! World gone mad. I love the piers in the UK. Lots of buzzing happening- people everywhere. There is so much generalisation going on Paul. I agree, one can find fault anywhere is one looks deep enough. Lovely walk through town. Enjoyed the beach walk too. Nice to show the other side of the coin. Enjoy your Sunday. 🩷👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

Anita, it truly does feel like the world has gone mad. Being run by scared timid people that are offended by everything. No wonder kids are growing up messed up. People need to have fun. Thank you for watching and leaving a great comment. Hope you are doing well and settled back in after your travels. Best wishes. 👍🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Nice place to visit but not a good place to live, just outside of the tourist areas the roads have to many pot holes Brighton road is terrible more pot holes than road surface the buses shake the victorian buildings and the road needs a 20 mph speed limit, the air quality can be really poor because of wood burning stoves in the old buildings during the colder months, it can be so bad you can't open any windows at night. But other than these problems you sometimes got to pay to park in your own street if you can even find anywhere to park in the first place that's no true for all of weston yet but it's getting pretty bad.
