He was impressed by the cleanliness
A YouTuber who took a trip to the Lincolnshire coast to "see what attracts working-class families" says he prefers the area to Blackpool. The content creator, who goes by the name Honest Places and has more than 51,000 subscribers, recently visited Skegness and Ingoldmells .
After a previous trip to Ingoldmells during the off-season where he went in search of a pint, the YouTuber likened the town to Benidorm due to the karaoke bars and business signs on the seafront. This time, he visited both Skegness and Ingoldmells during the peak of summer to give his thoughts on the area.
He started off in Ingoldmells where he walked around Fantasy Island and noted that the place was "booming" with holidaymakers. After visiting a market at the theme park, he said: "I'm gonna go for a pint now but I'm impressed with the market - it was absolutely banging."The YouTuber then pointed out the cleanliness of the town. He said: "The litter is pretty much non-existent. It's miles better than Blackpool at the minute.
He added: "This place has got everything if you've got kids. Arcades, Fantasy Island, fish and chip shops everywhere. I reckon 50 per cent of the fish in the world come here, they must do. When your kids are just mooching about in the arcades, get yourself into one of these boozers. It's got all the ingredients for a half-decent seaside town.
He concluded: "It's alright, Skegness. It's got everything you want. I'm just going up this ride now. It's what you want from a working-class holiday. I'd recommend coming here, especially for a family."
