Back in the 70's my sister and I sat in the back of our parents car heading down from Salisbury to Mudeford or Sandbanks on a Saturday. We would always look out for the big billboard approaching Romsey, "You are in Strong Country"...quite amazing to see it again after so many decades and revive a long forgotten memory. Thanks Dave!
Look at that beautiful Logan🥰 So cute he is Dave. I guess you can tell I love animals. What a wonderful walk. I enjoy each one. These walks are so amazing and interesting as I have never been to England and wished I could visit each place you have showed us. We are lucky to have you show us around Dave and Logan. Thank you 👏🏻☀️
Hi, another lovely walk. Will be doing that soon ! Only worrying part was when you first stood in front of Abbey. Looked like a man was relieving himself against the abbey in the distance! 😮 Keep the vids coming Alan and Michelle 😊😊
Thanks. Just had a look at the video - yes it does look a bit odd. I seem to recall that the chap was doing some gardening / tidying up but maybe it was not quite as innocent as that!
Thanks Dave.🙂 I learnt a lot that I didn't know. I have driven from Oxfordshire via Romsey to Mudeford in the past to avoid the motorways. That walk looked lovely.
As always a joy to watch. Thank you so much. You have inspired us to visit. The Abbey is particularly beautiful. Wishing you a very Happy Easter...🐣🥚🐥🐇
Hello again Dave and Logan. Ah! Romsey. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that on my list of videos. I know the town very well , having gone to school there when I was 14/15 back in the dark ages. One of my sons now lives just up the road in Timsbury. The secondary school in those days was just passed the cinema/theatre. I think it was up the lane towards that signal box, before it moved to a new site at the other side of town. I’ve been wanting to visit the Signal Box for years, but it’s only open on a few days of the month and I haven’t managed to get there yet. When I was at school Strongs brewery was still in operation and I had to walk past it on my way to and from school each day. The smell reminded me of cold tea, a little bit sickly.i haven’t walked your route, although I knew the railway was built on top of the canal for most of it’s length. Lots of memories. Thanks Dave.
Hello David, interesting video, my current boss is a Romsey boy, not a Strong...a Moody! Lovely area, we have only ever driven through, this video will make us think about stopping next time we are in the neighbourhood. Cracking area for wildlife, that water looked crystal clear. Have a great easter, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍🐰🥚
Super walk Dave. Romsey Abbey really is an impressive building isn't it? Have you thought of doing a walk at another of Hampshire's impressive churches, Christchurch priory, perhaps combining it with a walk to Hengistbury Head?
Wonderful stuff as always Dave and Logan! I was surprised to hear about the Fishlake Meadows nature reserve - in my mind it had been turned into a housing development.
Thanks Ian. Yes, I believe that plans have been submitted for a housing development on the old "World of Water" site next to the nature reserve! Thanks for watching.
Great vid Dave, very informative. I'm going to walk around Romsey centre later in the year. I noticed you ended up at Romsey World of Water. I can't understand why that closed, it always seemed to be doing well when I visited. best wishes, Rob
I believe that there is going to be a housing development where "World of Water" is located - which is a shame as it was a good place for a cup of tea! Thanks for watching Rob.
Love the abbey. I ring there every Wednesday and Sundays. We've had to stop for obvious reasons. (My profile pic is the bells at the abbey in the wooden cage at the top of the tower) The door on the right the small one is the way we get in to the tower to ring the bells.
