- We have been fortunate enough to have adopted a family here, and they have welcomed us to their home of Hartlepool. This is where we spent our quarantine, and where we have visited on prior travels to England.
In this vlog, we are released from quarantine, and will show you the town, even though museums, churches, and more aren't open. We hope you enjoy the history and rugged beauty this seaside town offers as much as we do!
Hartlepool is beautiful. My home town
I hoped you had a lovely time in Hartlepool, thank you for highlighting some places worth visiting, even if they are currently closed! I have always joked that Americans would kill for some the historic buildings we have like Old Wesley Methodist, Best Western Grand Hotel and Hillcarter Hotel (built in 1800s) which are all boarded up and left to fall apart, it's such a shame. Safe travels!
Yes, we loved Hartlepool and the historic buildings! Thanks!
My Flemish Belgian grandfather married Nelly from Hartlepool. The couple had 5 children one of them was my mother Hilda. I started 6 years ago a search for my familie as my family in Belgium lost contact for more thans 70 years. 4 years ago I met my whole family in Hartlepool fot the frist time. The whole sarah was publieke in the Hartlepool Mail. Marc
Such a wonderful story! How exciting to find your family!
Hartlepool is not a city " it is a town
Plus a note of positivity, please - they were so warm and non-critical of our town. Shouldn’t that be celebrated?
Doing a trip south and making a stop at Hartlepool your video has great information about what to see while there, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy!
I love it when Americans go to places other than London , York, Stratford-on-avon etc.
Old Hartlepool Headland is an interesting place. Hartlepool has 2 unique things, monkey hanging and black tar houses.
I will watch all your other British videos next.
I notice your Hartlepool video has more comments than any of your other videos (so far).
We're glad you enjoyed our vlog! We'll definitely be back; there's so much more to see! :)
I live in Hartlepool it’s nice
I was born and bred on the Headland a true Cod head and Monkey hanger. From 02.46 you said the sea does not look very warm give it a dip and you will get used to it.
Lol! We love Monkey Hangers. Being from Southern California, with the water temps in the high 60s to low 70s ('F), we're used to having the sun warm us when we get out. We're not against giving it a go here, but it's at least got to be a warmer summer day for us wimps! :D
@@globalgeezers7785 One of the best things about the Headland is going snorkelling for crabs and lobsters.
I live in hartlepool
Me too
Who you voting for guys?
Thank you for sharing Hartlepool with your audience, next time you come, get yourself a local as our guide we have some beautiful country walks as Well as a number of beaches.
You're welcome! Yes, we always stay with a local, and love the beaches. We'll definitely be back, and find more places to explore when it's a bit warmer. Thanks for the tips! :)
A friend of mine lives in Hartlepool. I am from Toronto, Canada
Was your friend born here.
@@Billyg215 Yes
@@MsSmudge14 MMmm was your friend born and bred on the Headland or was your friend a West Docker ?
Ok it’s not a city it’s a town
Thank You Global Geezers for promoting my home town of Hartlepool, you were unlucky in that so much was in lockdown. Come back again sometime and see how vibrant it can be.
You're welcome! We've been there before, so we know it's a wonderful place. We have adopted family there, so we'll definitely be back!
That's the old customs building at 2.55. Andy England 🇬🇧 👍
Awesome! Thanks!
I have an article from the Wall Street Journal that says if Hartlepool isn't the most Godforsaken town in Britain they wouldn't like to visit the one that is!
The author of the article is welcome to his or her opinion, of course, but we love it there, and will continue to return. :)
What does the wank street Boringnal know about Hartlepool ??. Have they been here or are they listening to Arsolesay.
So nothing to do with "powder monkeys" then! 😆
The sandstone at the bottom of the wall is from the Franciscan friary retaining wall built 1239 ... you should have looked at the mansion house it was built from the stone from the friary when Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s 👍🏻
Awesome! Thanks for the info! I'm sure we'll be back. :)
you spent your whole quarantine here? my deepest sympathy - it's a toilet from top to bottom. Having never had enough money to leave is my bigggest regret
Awww, thanks! We didn't mind, as we were with family. We actually love the area, but we do love variety. I suppose staying anywhere for too long may make you tired of it. Even a day trip to a new area can be invigorating. It's never too late!
A view, of course, not shared by everybody, including the delightful couple who took the time and trouble to share their thoughts with us. Isn’t there enough negativity in the world without adding to it?
Why is an American trying to preach about Hartlepool
We love sharing places we enjoy exploring. We hope you enjoyed it!
They are not preaching about Hartlepool just videoing it and talking about Hartlepool
Because they can see the beauty of it where as we who are born & bred in the town can't see that
It's like when we go to Scarborough say (as an example ) we would find it fascinating
But the people who have lived there all there lives
Can't understand why we would come to a place like this for a holiday
@@jackwatsonepic626 I am not fussed about Scarborough i much prefer Whitby so did my late Wife Karen rest her soul. We sent the kids off to school next thing the boss ( Karen ) saying get ready Billy we are going to Whitby. To which i replied yes boss.
@@Billyg215 lol
No , we are the boss we just make out to the women in our lives that they are the boss ha ah
