Cornwall - a county of curiosities and quirky oddities! A compilation of some of our favourites!

[@jakeg1421]

Truely love watching all of your walks, but especially the East Cornwall ones, Penlea Point, lots of fond memories doing that walk with kids, dogs and friends on a Sundays, in all weather! I miss Spring time walking the lanes, with all the wild flowers! Many, many thanks for keeping us connected to Cornwall! 🙏🌼 🐣😎🇳🇿

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah :)

[@paulshilton5370]

Love watching the highlights again. Love to you both.❤️

[@bookprincess612]

Thought I followed ALL your walks.But today it seems I had missed a few 😳. Double joy ! The ruine at 25:50 plays a main role in a Rosamunde Pilcher episode just shown here on TV.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

We occasionally see filming signs and think it must be Rosalind Pilcher! Sarah :)

Hi Sarah and Andrew, great collection of weird and wonderful things in Cornwall. Saw Nelson a few times when he was alive. For a while he had a female companion, christened, inevitably, Lucille. Have you ever been inside the castle at Carn Brea? I sneaked in once in the '70s when it was being refurbished. The granite boulders are even more impressive when you see them bulging into the rooms. Went inside again 20-odd years ago when it was an Arabic restaurant. We knocked on the door to ask if it was open, 3 very hungry people.; it wasn't but the guy,who was Lebanese I think, let us in anyway and supplied us with hummus and pitta bread, then as we sat there enjoying that, kept bringing us samples of the various delicious dishes he was cooking that night. We ended up quite full! Will never forget his kindness. Many thanks for the video.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

How wonderful! Yes, we have been inside and it is a curious building! Sarah :)

[@brianspicer8829]

It has to be the engine houses, all ways love to see them and explore if we can, one of our fave places to stay was Cawsand, a lovely B&B in a bakery . then go and explore the chapel at sunset, gorgeous , great vid as always,,,,,Brian&Jane

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

We love our engine houses, almost take them for granted though!! Sarah :)

[@TheSWolfe]

From the wonderful old engine houses to the castle, from face rock to the grotto and everything in between, there wasn't anything about this video that didn't fascinate me. Loved it!

[@marieryan2541]

Hi Sarah and Andrew. Really loved your complication of Cornwall videos today. Sorry I am a week late watching it. I started last week but a 1/4 way through I felt sick and I haven't been feeling well since but yesterday was the first time I felt like my old self thank goodness.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Glad you are feeling better, Sarah :)

Cornwall is such a beautiful place, especially along the coast I hope to visit one day. I am from America, but my family is from Penzance

[@rafd3593]

As ever, super instructive. Thank you.

[@paulmagus2133]

my favourites were you two 😁

[@lydiaart]

It's fun to go on your adventures with you through the Cornish landscape. I learned how to pronounce Redruth correctly. I realize I'm putting the accent on the wrong part of these Cornish words. The stone plaque with the writing on the building about the 3000 year old lease in Losthwithal was fascinating to see. I didn't realize that words using N next to D or T next to H like in the word "the" were combined in the 1600s to make one letter. I love learning about the history and beautiful places all over Cornwall where my Dad's ancestors used to live before immigrating to the USA to work in the mines of upper Michigan and Montana. I can hardly wait to get back to Cornwall someday soon. Love your videos.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Hi again, i am catching up with comments! And you are quite correct - we place the emphasis on the second syllable generally! I hope you get back here one day, Sarah :)

[@lydiaart]

@@CornishWalkingTrails I bet we butchered your language all through Cornwall on that trip.

[@esthermorrissey1454]

What a good evening’s entertainment - We both really enjoyed this magical trip around Cornwall - wonderfully put together with a great deal of thought. You asked for our favourite - The the one item that comes to mind is the 100’ grave and the story that went with it. It was almost as long as ‘Putin’s’ table ha ha!! -

[@9dudley]

That was super fun and interesting. Great job.

[@davidclinch1358]

That was great ! Really enjoyed watching that, some of those places for the first time. Years ago when we were in England walking the Coast Path we can't believe we walked past Queen Adelaide's Grotto without knowing it was there. Now we're going to have to go back and walk that section again. Fortunately we will be in Cornwall this June (2024).

[@SpanishEclectic]

Oh, these are great to see again! The mine engine houses have such mystique, no wonder author Winston Graham included mining as a core theme in his Poldark novels. That smell-old, damp stone-I know it well. I have a strong memory of the dungeon (with graffiti from the 1500s) at Warwick Castle. I loved the Egyptian House. It's easy to forget that the classic white monuments of Egypt and Ancient Greece/Rome were once painted. The style was revived in the 1920s; there are several Egyptian themed theaters (cinemas!) here in San Diego, as well as the famous one in Los Angeles. I think Queen Adelaide's Grotto gets my vote for most exciting sea views. How intrepid you are, at the shore in a hail storm! Cheers!

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

So glad you enjoyed our compilation! Sarah :)

[@WaggiesTravels]

Just found your channel…….. amazing

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Cheers! Sarah :)

[@lindacourtemanche5550]

Thanks for the memories of your interesting walks. I just realized how close the mining buildings are to the cliffs. Freezing cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Brave people who worked the mines. Thanks again for this fun video.💕

[@robertwillis9988]

Beautiful walks as always,and so informative. Thank you both so much😍😍

[@colinbaker3415]

Lovely to visit these places again. I had forgotten how stunning the view from Carn Brea is . Sarah's reaction to finding something unexpected is always a joy. Nice to see you out again for the intro after your recent illness.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you! Sarah :)

[@great-stuff-6688]

Nice sharing

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

Maybe it’s time you published a books of walks in Cornwall ? These days you can DIY publishing. Great video…

[@AnnieWarbux]

I L♡VE how you mixed this segment together! Sorry, I've been away. Chicago/Lake Michigan is about to endure a very grumpy weather pattern. Much like ♧Old Cornwall!! Gails of Novemher will come early! That Bob Barker derpy soundbite cracked me up! 😆

[@amazinggrace4036]

Hi Sarah and Andrew…lovely compilation…the castle on the rock 🙈 amazing! The fountain…details unique…it looks huge! The views from those hills…spectacular! And the graffiti on the rocks…love your comment that people would take the time to “carve their love on a rock!!” Agree, Romantic!! So cool! And to color amazing drawings, oh my my!!! Amazing!!! But Thanks again for giving us a second look at your fun videos🌹 greetings….all the best Ana 🌹🎈

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you! Sarah :)

[@bernicebest]

Amazing footage, how the Cornish miners got down to those mines has always amazed me, some of this footage reminds me of days visiting Cornwall, and of-cause there was ‘Poldark’ yesterday I watched a documentary on ‘The Red River’ are you familiar with that I was wondering! Oh! My first laugh 😂 of the day, Andrew’s ‘denial’ very good 👍 I think Digger Dog 🐕 enjoyed your voyage of discoveries he always seems very interested, I wonder what he would think of the Dog Rock Pile (not a lot!) thank you Sarah & Andrew for a very interesting video, 👏🤗

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Oh yes! We both remember the Red River that flowed out at Gwithian beach. Seemed completely normal to us at the time although my Mum would never let our dog swim in it or drink from it, Sarah :)

[@judybee]

I remembered all of these clips! Have been watching you two for a long time now! Nostalgic look at some of your adventures. Mine engines are always a special watch. And the number of Holy Wells in Cornwall would probably take up quite a few hours or so of footage if you ever did a compilation vid of those! Plus of course the standing stones etc. etc. The Land of Magic and Mystery. Always a treat on a Friday. x J x

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

So many more videos to make on all those wonderful subjects! Sarah :)

[@lindajackson5480]

I enjoyed this compilation. Loved the grotto, I thought it would have been much older.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

The grotto definitely is rugged in its construction but I remember it was a fantastic shelter! Sarah :)

[@nicholaswiltshire6356]

As children my parents used to take us camping every year to what was then Pengersick Caravan and Camping site. Did the Rinsey Head walk many times. Yet another great video guys. From Nick no longer on the bridge.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Oh no! A man who has lost his bridge! Sarah :)

[@nicholaswiltshire6356]

@@CornishWalkingTrails Sadly yes, I no longer work on Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol.

[@TravellingTorunn]

Thank you for these lovely clips 🤩 I remember most of them, but is is fantastic to get them in a row like this. And I loved to see the Carn Brea castle and monument. It is amazing how they have built the castle together with the rocks.☺

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

A truly fascinating castle! The rocks dominate the inside too! Sarah :)
