[@ChattyWalkswithAngela]

You are welcome:) It's SO hard not to nose at the houses; I've even worked out which one is Harry K's house after he was on Celebrity Gogglebox! All the best, Angela

[@ChattyWalkswithAngela]

@@galdessa1 Ah now, that is excellent precision there with the actual house number! I have seen so many people walking along there with their cameras trying to find the exact house, especially after Harry and his wife appeared on Gogglebox. I wonder if his new house is complete yet or if he is still in his rather nice temporary accommodation. All the best, Angela

Thanks for posting this. I went to Sandbanks as a kid, we stayed in one of the old '20s houses. It had a landing inside that went round in a circle from each side of the stairs.Lots of nooks and crannies. I've always remembered it. It's probably not there any more. I think it's a shame that the place has been developed the way it has, the place has lost some of its character. Good to know the trees have a preservation order. It's very uplifting to see them.

[@ChattyWalkswithAngela]

I love the old 20s places and agree, it's a shame it's got the reputation and development that it has because it's a wonderful beach and unique location. We were there yesterday and my son commented how nice it would be to have some places to eat, drink and enjoy the view along the beach rather than all those spots being taken over by big private houses. Thank you for commenting:) Angela

the Seaton family owned the Sandbanks Yacht Co, the garage on the entrance my dad almost bought in 1963 for 25000 pounds but my mum objected. There used to be opposite an old lady with race Horses that ran along the beach. the two new houses opposite the Yacht Company owned by Midlands Estate Agent Mr Hipkiss.

Every time I go down sandbanks they are knocking one down to build another one bigger and better .i don’t know if you know this but they have blue roof to keep to pigeons and seagulls off um ..I guy told me that when I worked on Bournemouth hospital when they was building it 20 yr ago .Nice walk cheers 🙂✌️

[@ChattyWalkswithAngela]

That's fascinating about the blue roof, thanks for passing it on:) It is a bit annoying, IMHO, the constant rebuilding of everything; I personally quite like the little old bungalows but when they go up for sale they get snapped up by property developers. And you are welcome, thank you:)

[@jamesturk6549]

I would argue that beach walks needn't be interesting, as long as they are relaxing and visually stimulating.

[@ChattyWalkswithAngela]

This is a question I wrestle with a lot. I am thinking of making a new channel dedicated to beach and countryside walks. The decision on whether to talk or just leave it to speak for itself is something I am thinking about in-depth. If you have thoughts, do let me know as I'm going back and forth a bit.

Most common question asked is where they keep the Sandbanks chain ferry? They Moore it in Southampton when it goes for checks, and issues.

[@ChattyWalkswithAngela]

Thank you so much for adding this information, much appreciated:) I remember on its breakdown in, I think 2019, when they were waiting for the part from Norway or somewhere similar, it was docked up on the Studland side for quite a while, all lit up in th evenings and it was quite surreal that it wasn't in operation. All the best, Angela

[@Aviation365]

@@ChattyWalkswithAngela Yes,I think it was. I do have a holiday home in Sandbanks (on the beach side) and I know that the chain ferry is great fun. However, without it it is an absolute pain to get to Studland!

@@ChattyWalkswithAngela I would say Allington road, Bingham avenue, Minterne road, Brudenell road. The whole area is stuffed full of premiere roads, the best ones are Western ave, Bury road, Martello Road and everything between The Avenue and Canford Cliffs road. We moved here from NW London 3 years ago and spent weeks walking around the stunning pine tree lined roads admiring the incredible houses. I don’t think it’s easy to capture this place on video though, you can never do it justice. Also I would avoid filming on ‘bins out’ day.

@@marsha1963 Lol, agreed, there are limits! And yes, it's not easy to capture the places that well on video, it should translate, but it just doesn't somehow:/ There's something lovely about driving along The Avenue that just says 'you're here'!
