Bellissima cittadina la conosco……bello il parco
A great video of ROYAL LEAMINGTON SPA | Is this the happiest town in the UK? Can i suddgest NUNEATON!.✔✔✔✔
Really nice place 😊
I live quite near Leamington Spa and it is one of my favourite towns to visit. I love Jephson Gardens and think it's time for another visit. 😊 Thanks for posting.
Thanks for showing me around Leamington Spa and it is a nice place to stay and walk round and the shops and restaurants and bars and the parks and gardens and you have a nice sunny day for walking round Thanks Neil
Very nice looking place and so clean 😊 it makes me want to visit Leamington Spa! 😊
Napoleon Bonaparte died in 1821. He never set foot in England.
It’s very clean Neil but not much there seemingly unless you want the high end shops? It would be great if you’d consider visiting Tutbury as I’m going there soon? I enjoyed the video Neil and thanks for the factoids
Leam has changed so much over the last 10-15 years.
Beautiful day. The wedding couple might like to know they can see their photography day in video
Have you ever had someone ask you not to film them?
Royal Leamington Spa is a beautiful place. Where did you find this place? Please find more places like this one. Thank you for sharing this with us!!😊
Great walkabout. However, Napoleon Bonaparte never lived in the Town. That was Napoleon III.
Thank you for visiting my home town . The tourists come for the shops and gardens but we are the home of Bowls England and hold major championships in Victoria Park including the Commomwealth Games .The Royal Pump Rooms has the library ,art gallery and a cafe inside and well worth a viisit .Im looking forward to more videos to come.
Hello Neil how are you love your vidio looks a very interested place best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😅😅
That's my brothers wedding ❤ what a amazing memory they didn't even know they were going to get 😊 thank you for capturing it! Leamington has some really beautiful places right on our doorsteps we are very lucky x
How about Warwick. I use these videos to decide where to visit. Keep up the good work!😊
I have been there once, thank you for reminding me the nice scenery, appreciate it
I have lived here for 15 years in this lovely town. I have no intention of moving – everyone here is friendly and it is indeed the happiest town! Do come and visit!
Great video watching from Canada but one question why is it spa? Does it have a lot of spas there?
Please make a informative film on Chester City
I like your videos…
My hometown. I'm currently looking at your videos as I'm taking some tourists round Mevagissey, Tintagel, Jamaica Inn and Plymouth. Leam looks better on film than in real life! 😀
BTW, Leamington Spa is in Warwickshire and not the West Midlands.
The statue of Queen Victoria outside of the town hall has moved a couple of inchs on it's plinth so it's no longer sitting square. This was caused by a bomb blast in WW2
A lovely walkabout, it’s one of my favourite places. Just a few suggestions. Have you thought about filming in Evesham, Bridgnorth and Lichfield.
What lovely old buildings and a beautiful park & gardens
Miserable failure gimbal – You missed the main shopping area i.e. Upper Parade, Warwick Street and the Royal Priors shopping Center …
