In my latest Uk travel Vlog I take a trip to Harlow in Essex, starting at the historic old town where I take a surprise trip with Sue and Shell, two lovely ladies (and proper characters!) to the quaint Churchgate street. From there I drive over to Harlow New Town to check out the gibberd gallery and find out what locals feel about the town center!
My next stop was the picturesque Parndon Mill and a walk along the stunning towpath before driving over to Harlow museum and walled gardens for an entertaining tour.
Finally I scoff some lovely grub at Cafe Belle Vie dead opposite Harlow Train Station.
Brilliant Stuff!
Feel free to like and subscribe for more videos if you enjoyed this one and would love to see more of me gallivanting around the UK and getting into mischief!

I was born in Harlow but my family moved to Canada when I was 7 years old. I do remember living there and going to school at Kingsmoor Academy. I am now 55, returning for a visit is on my bucket list. Until then google earth has shown me the house I was born in and a few other places I remember. Loved this video thank you!

Really great video and shows that Harlow isn't the dump that it gets labelled (far too much). The young girl is my daughter's friend - she's a character! My daughter was up the town as well but didn't want to be filmed (I had a go at her for that 😂 ) I think the cafe is going to be getting a few new customers since this video as well. Really good watch and like someone said above - you need to come back and visit our town park, it's really beautiful - you can grab a pint at the Greyhound. Well done on this 😁

@ADayintheUK 2 года назад

Cheers Kim, yeah lots saying about the park. I plug the park and pets corner in the video when I’m at the mill but ran out of time to visit. Yeah she was a right character haha! Thanks for the watch and look out for new content next week 🤟🏼

Sure Harlow has its issues, what town doesnt? Great job on this, you've found some of our more obsucre jems, clearly got a knack for interaction and are very comfortable in front of the camera. Subbed. Youre welcome back to Harlow anytime. I'd recommend the duck pond, New Ground Cafe and the Lock climbing wall next time, you also walked past the Crown which is a great little pub.

For example gilbys had a bunker which you can still visit ( unofficially mind 😂) if you have some rope to climb down. Surprised you didn't mention the station it's self as you were next to it, it's also a listed building despite how horrid it looks. 😂 Also first ever high rise flats are in Harlow, also listed building :)

@@ADayintheUK If you Google "My Nan's Air Raid Shelter - Harlow" you should be able to find a blog by a chap called Nelly. Other interested little places are the northweald redoubt, and there's some bunkers just outside of Harlow in one of the farms, was a radio centre. Unfortunately some oiks have burnt the cots and radio equipment though. Obviously bad news is its lots of these places are privately owned so not suitable for a RU-vid channel where you show your face 😂

Go visit them all! Start with the gallery and pick up a sculpture leaflet. You can use it to find the sculptors around Harlow. Enjoy! 🤟🏼

Harlow is great but like the kids said, it needs regenerating. Apparently the gov has a few million to inject into the town so im looking forward to when they regenerate it. They got rid of the iconic venue the square, which bought in talent from outside as far as LA. People like Blur, Eddie Izzard and cold play played on that stage. We used to have a buzzing nightlife here but there is nothing anymore. I hope they bring back a music venue like the square and night clubs here. Thanks for visiting our town. Xx

@ADayintheUK 2 года назад

Cheers for the watch Clare. Yeah I heard about the Square, I reckon that's the reason people are travelling to London for nightlife...real shame, but yeah it appears the council are injecting some money into Harlow. You all deserve it!

Hello Louise, I was born in Harlow in 1960 at home, The Hornbeams. I now live in South Africa, which I love. Went back to Harlow once and was very impressed with how charming it was.

I have lived in Harlow for 15 years and love it her people label it as teriible place to live but it’s not as bad as many say could be better place may be more for kids to do to stop them running riot through the town and causing havoc must try that cafe you went to 😁😁😁

Harlow gets a bad rap but there’s plenty of good things there . Canada’s biggest franchise has also just opened up one of its first stores in the Uk , in harlow Tim Hortons !!

Hi Jon, I love Tim Hortons! I did a promotional job for them dressed as a Canadian Mounty years ago. Received a massive tray of doughnuts at the end!

I've heard some people saying that Harlow is "the town of the roundabouts" because there's a lot of them, do you think that?

@donkeykongabracadbra6279 2 года назад

As a local there's quite a few, but they're not overbearing. All very functional till rush hour 😂

@m.k.9573 2 года назад

@@donkeykongabracadbra6279 yeah that's what I think too. I've moved to Harlow from London almost two years ago and I don't think there's a lot of them, or not much more that other towns have.

@joshygoldiem_j2799 2 года назад
