Thank you Marek. Please never stop making these wonderful videos. And please never stop your music.

Thanks cool dude

Will I ever win one of Mareks infamous prize draws? Probably not. Will I make a drum roll sound every prize draw? Absolutely

My dream place is the Isle of Wight……. Call me tragic but I don’t care I love it’s there and won’t be happy till I can call it home!!

[@cdwc]

It is nice. I couldn’t wait to leave when I grew up here though.

[@uponthewing1501]

Stolen sheep bleating Baa Locks…brilliant!😂 Super videos, keep up the great presentations

Nice one cool dude

[@chegeny]

Thanks Marek. St. Michael's Mount is a stunning gem. Long Crendon Manor in Buckinghamshire was recently offered for £7,000,000. Though it's a bit too dear, it's what I'd consider my dream place: centuries old, crumbly, misty, haunted, rose gardens and ancient oaks; so much better than some soulless penthouse in the city infested with pigeons.

[@cdwc]

Nooooo! Not pigeons. I always dread to think of the costs of the upkeep of those huge old places. You would have to open it up to the public which I suppose might defeat the whole point of having a big house and grounds away from everyone.

[@tinfoil6150]

There was a video last week cool dude.

[@alanmaynard7842]

Looked like a lovely day and what a brilliant place to visit. My ideal place to live would be the Isle of White. So much to do there and you are never more than 20 minutes from the sea no matter where you are on the Island.. Love the painting. Just put a bid in.😊

[@cdwc]

It is a great place to live cool dude.

[@alanmaynard7842]

[@liamnicoll]

I think I'd love to live in Cornwall, the Lake District or northern Scotland, somewhere with lovely walks to go on.

Better weather in Cornwall, but my friend said it is a nightmare in the summer with the small roads and all the tourists.

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

Mine would be a cabin in a nice woods somewhere 👍🦔. I've got a vague childhood memory of going to Cornwall, seeing st Michael's mount but not actually going to it for some reason 😂.

mine too.

[@orangeedo]

I didn't know that lovely place existed until just now. You have made me smarter.

Every time you watch one of my videos it increases IQ by 10.

[@Mirily]

Great video Marek, as always! I love all the old stories of how things got places! 😄 My dream place to live probably sounds quite normal to most, but its Pompey for me! It's where generations of my family are from, on both sides, and it holds lots of lovely memories for me. The forts are like old friends! 💜 Stay cool!

[@cdwc]

I think it is always difficult to beat where you grow up as all the stories and memories seemed to be etched in to everywhere.

[@SunburntHands]

Ace video. my dream place to live is the caravan where Danny the Champion of the World lives with his dad, next to the garage. I'm a bit too soft and attached to 21stC comforts though really.

[@Natalie-mu3ye]

I really loved the descriptions of their life in the caravan!

[@cdwc]

I completely agree. It sounded wonderful living in that caravan. I think it is one of the most atmospheric books. I have a fridge magnet of an illustration by Quentin Blake of Danny and his Dad by the caravan.

[@grayfreeman]

Great vid. Stunning scenery. To live... anywhere by the sea would do me. Cornwall would do, or I have a fondness for Anglesey, IOW... actually, if the sea was close by I could rough it anywhere.

[@cdwc]

I agree with you about being near the sea.

[@Niac022]

I really needed a Cool Dudes video. The main support wall of the house I am living in is splitting apart, and while I have found a new place to live that we can afford it is far from family and friends but we will be safe and the town we are going to is nice. Question of the day answer is...out in the country side of a province called Prince Edward Island! Anyone should google 'Prince Edward island countryside' if they're curious to see how beautiful it is.

[@cdwc]

Sorry to hear about your house cool dude.

[@sfsunday74]

that boatman outfit is gonna cause some extra work for #miniMarek costumier

[@matthewmulvale5747]

Hey Marek. 👍😃 Another great video. It is absolutely beautiful down that way. We stayed near "The Lizard" area of Cornwall in 2021. Well worth a look of you get a chance. St. Michaels Mount is stunning. I went there with my Parents back in the 80's. You couldn't go in the house back then, but it was lovely to walk around the grounds. My perfect place to live would be the Isle of Wight. Wouldn't matter where, I love it all. Going to Thorness Bay this year for our annual family holiday. 👍 Loving this Cornwall series. Keep making these great videos mate. We all love them. 👍😃

[@cdwc]

I must do a walk around Thorness Bay soon. Hope you have a great trip

[@Steve-Fish]

Love your stuff Marek, you should be on the telly, I'd love to see you doing an art program with Jim Moir that would just be the best thing ever.

[@judybee]

Well, you already know where I dream to be. And I will be again shortly. Red Funnel fares made me go though when I saw the price 👀. Unfortunately it's only for 4 nights. Gus couldn't survive without me for more than that I have Happy Memories of all things Cornwall, including St.Michael's Mount, so was nice to see your take on it. And that painting....wow. Your artwork🎨🖌 is just getting better & better. The Boatman's attire was the spitting image of Red Coat Marek. x J x

[@cdwc]

This was a nice post until you mentioned Gus.

[@judybee]

@@cdwc I see from the other comments on here that you are off to Thorness Bay for a possible walkabout. I found a gold ring on the beach there washed up by the tide whilst ''mudlarking'' last year. Give me a wave on The Longest Day in a couple of weeks if you are stepping out that way! I promise faithfully I won't mention Gus! Ha! x J x

[@systemSkynet]

I read St.Michaels and thought you had been to my favourite forest I camp at nearly every episode. I'd love to live in your Nan's house. We'd eat scones and talk sheit about you all day like eastenders. I'm sure she has some secrets of your childhood I could exploit.

[@cdwc]

I love the forest where you go camping.

[@katiiakt7044]

I´d love to live in Italy, somewhere close to Lake Garda. Italy is such a beautiful country. Although life here in Finland is pretty cool too. 🙂

[@cdwc]

I have never been to Lake Garda. My grandparents used to go every year. I must visit.

[@lisaperry345]

St Michael's mount reminds me of one of the buildings from Game of thrones. I would love to visit there one day.Oh and the picture of the current owners remind me of Charles and Diana. My dream place to live would be a windmill. I don't even mind which one as long as it's got a nice view. Stay cool.

[@cdwc]

I wonder how many programmes they have filmed at St. Michael's Mount. It was like a fairy Kingdom.

[@paulsstrollsnskywatching]

House of dragons used St Michael's mount as Driftmark

[@lisaperry345]

@@paulsstrollsnskywatching Ahh maybe that's what I was thinking of. Thanks for that!

[@mattentwistle70]

Another great video, I especially enjoyed this one as I visited St Michael's Mount many years ago but after walking across the causeway I discovered that the grounds were closed. Good to see what I missed. I would love to live in a massive tree house near a river. Ecstatic to see my mini Marek pics at the end 😊

[@cdwc]

It was great wandering around the grounds. I would recommend getting there first thing as I bet it gets pretty crowded later.

[@nightheron5892]

I’d like to live in an old but modernized farmhouse, that is close enough to a city for stuff, but rural enough to see no one for hours at a time.

[@cdwc]

This is the correct answer.

[@feetunes]

St. Michael's Mount does indeed look like an amazing place to live. I think I visited with my folks when I was little. I feel lucky to live where I do here in Campbeltown, Kintyre. I think my idealistic place might be Herm island in the channel islands where I went for my favourite holiday when I was a young teen. Thanks for the great video.

[@cdwc]

I wish I'd had time to visit Herm when I was there. Maybe on my next visit.

[@dl7905]

My first glimpse of St Michael's Mount lets me know that I'm 'Nearly there' for our holidays to Sennen Cove, west of Penzance. One of my favourite places in the world (along with the Isle of Wight).

[@cdwc]

I did not have enough time to visit Penzance and the surrounding area. Hopefully next time cool dude.

[@PeterHardy80]

been there, amazing place. we went on the boat. my wife has also been to the twin place in france

[@cdwc]

Mont Saint Michel! I went there on the French Exchange when I was about 10. Everyone bought rude keyrings. I remember it being excellent.

[@bittybottybutty9661]

Black ops, BBC iPlayer. A bit far fetched but enjoyed it. You even got your name in the credits. You have many personalities and lots of characters. Hope to see u in something else. No wonder you can travel constantly for your lovely videos.

[@cdwc]

I haven't seen it yet. I will watch it soon. No new acting jobs I am afraid.

[@bittybottybutty9661]

@@cdwc at least you can carry on with your fantastic videos.

[@chumon1992]

My dream place would be very similar to that actually. I might put in some cool colored plants here and there, but otherwise very very similar.

[@cdwc]

The blue room was cool in the castle. It would be great to have lots of different colour themed rooms.

[@chumon1992]

@Cool Dudes Walking Club ohh yes I love that idea I've always wanted that in a house.

[@quinnlevy8996]

My dream place to live is a Norwegian fjord (although many amazing options also exist in Iceland, Scotland, New Zealand, Canada, Alaska, ahd Chile). For a while I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to live on a beach, in the mountains, or on a lake, but then I realized a fjord combines all 3 (not technically a lake but provides sufficient lake vibes)

[@cdwc]

If you can become a billionaire you can live in all the places cool dude. A fjord is a good cheaper option though.

[@TravellingTorunn]

Really enjoyed this. I have bwen to St. Michael's Mount a couple of times and it is so beautiful. Quite surreal to walk on the causeway, but even more strange to take the boat another time and see the causeway deep down under the boat 😊

[@cdwc]

I would have loved to have come back on the boat when it was underwater. I was lucky I had a beautiful quiet day to visit.

[@munkeypants1]

That was an amazing video, cool dude. I’ve always wanted to visit there and it’s better than I imagined. My dream home would be anywhere in Madeira. It’s an all round stunning place with nice weather, great food and drink and (if it’s still around) the funniest statue of all time - the one of Ronaldo (CR7) that looks like it melted in the sun

[@janecarter6994]

I recently had a holiday in Penzance and planned walks to lots of lovely places but the whole thing was scuppered by ill health so it is both lovely to see this and fills me with jealousy! My ideal place to live would be Portmeirion - I never tire of that place!

[@cdwc]

That is such a shame your holiday is as applied. Hope you are better now.

Cool fact: giants have small hearts, that’s why they are often mean and grumpy. The bigger the giant the smaller the heart. That one must have been pretty big!!

Blimey, for £15 you get a lot for your money. Wouldn't mind living there either, only a small window of people time, high enough for a good view, sorted!

So good to see St Michael's Mount again! Thank you My last visit there was over 20 years ago for a christening in St Michael's Mount Church with a walk across the causeway then an interestingly steep climb up to the church! (A Landrover was on hand if needed) then a boat back to Marazion. Dreamplace~West of the Isle, so i can get the Yarmouth to Lymington ferry to The New Forest & enjoy the stunning views of the Beaulieu River along the way. It's a lot easier to get to the New Forest from the Isle than where I live now!

[@cdwc]

The climb up to St Michael’s Mount was pretty steep and precarious. Luckily I wasn’t a wet day on all those cobbles.

[@Fray-Bentos]

[@anthonyhatter196]

Cracking walk. The light in Cornwall is so different! The Giant's name sounds like Cameron to me. Now, did he change his name because Cameron is not a top giants name? Good time of year to visit as it is rammed in the summer. Dream home has to be any National Trust property! Check out their rentals. CD #123
