Awesome video. Loved going there on holiday as a child in the 90's. The memories of crabbing, on the beach, arcades.. my favourite rock pool was 30foot out from the right side of the pool.Hope to take my family there soon.

Used to go to the Burrows for 3 weeks every summer and on Fridays we were allowed to play the slots in Westwood Ho! Happy days…Thank you for the video, I always wondered where the pebbles came from.

My family and I holidayed in Kipling Tors throughout the 1970s. Does anyone reading this remember it? It was a holiday camp which we went to and we had some wonderful times there. The town itself was lovely too, especially the enormous slide that we kids absolutely loved.

This is a very, very good film about that popular resort. Enjoying this and thanks for sharing.
