We find the BEST benches in Cornwall for you to enjoy! - but where’s your favourite?

[@steveray8056]

Good day lovely Cornish walkers, oh, to be in Cornwall eating pasties and sipping some local ales while sitting on one of these fabulous benches. My wife commented that, when you were on the Fowey ferry, that Sarah’s hair was lovely. And Andrew, you look so handsome clean shaven. Please keep making such enjoyable videos that my wife and I can enjoy from Canada. Thank you 😊

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you for your lovely comment, Sarah :)

[@tractorgirl8124]

Fantastic sketch Sarah ❤

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you! Sarah :)

[@philipgrierson1791]

A beautiful & inspiring video documentary. Thank you, as always.

[@marieryan2541]

Hi Sarah and Andrew. I use to sit on the bench in Penzance every night looking over towards St Michael's Mount and near the train station. I use to relax before I popped in to the pub for a quiet drink to end the day. I found it very relaxing.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Wonderful! Sarah :)

[@westaussiejeff1547]

Loved the story of the Parliament bench....

[@deannno9206]

The bench at Godrevy dedicated to the man who drove the ice cream van was one of my mum’s favourites

[@SandraPrice-c5g]

Mine is an unusual one. Padstow, just arrived & parked up. Straight to the Chough Bakery for a pasty and sat balanced on a windowsill looking out at the harbour, in the light drizzle, eating a prize winning pasty. I remember it clearly as I was delighted to see a Razorbill, on the harbour sand with the tide out. I was happy.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Lovely memory, Sarah :)

[@esthermorrissey1454]

We did so enjoy this video - you selected a wonderful selection of past video’s bringing back some great memories. How good it was to watch today - our weather has been dull and wet - the video was entertaining. & sunny. just right. Nice to see the doggies and to see some footage of your younger selves. Our favourite bench is to see it empty when we get there ha ha!! so really anywhere - the views are always amazing in beautiful Cornwall. Keep up the good work guys- brilliant

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you so much! Sarah :)

[@jetlagsenior8491]

All benches in Cornwall are glorious ❤ great work guys ❤

[@pilesofparagraphs]

Loved this video. Thanks so much for sharing all these benches with us. Fun to watch the videos from the past. So many beautiful places in Cornwall. I love seeing them but it does make my heart ache to return.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

We are truly lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, Sarah :)

[@bobspeller2225]

Great video with an interesting review with some of your funest commentary.i

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@helenbosworth5950]

What a beautiful video Sarah and Andrew all the benches in Cornwall enjoyed very much thank you 😊

[@christopherdakin7094]

Thank you for the compilation, amazing as always to see our lovely Kernow.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah :)

[@PWilliams-n7k]

So lovely to meet you Sarah and Andrew when my sister and I were sitting on the bench near the Loft House in Polperro .

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Hello! Gosh! That seems a while ago now! Sarah :)

[@joyhursey1480]

Really loved your film on walks and benches , it was beautiful. My husband and I love Cornwall and have visited in April/May for many years, not quite so mobile now we but still love a coastal walk and a sit on a bench and enjoy the view.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Glad you enjoyed it! Sarah :)

[@peterdovey5182]

Super film, very well compiled and sets a BENCHMARK for how films on you tube should be made. I have sat on a few of the seats you featured . Well done both.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you very much! Sarah :)

[@nigelslack-x5v]

Loved watching st ives thanks for great vlog ❤

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

You are welcome, Sarah :)

[@bevking6778]

My favourite benches are the ones can reached by mobility scooter as I’m disabled

[@allanfettah4686]

My favourite is the bench just off to the right hand side of the big hill on Porthrepta Road, Carbis Bay, leading down to the beach. Lovely views of Godrevy Lighthouse. Fantastic video again with so many benches to choose from.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Sounds great! Sarah :)

[@geofffoster1704]

Lovely vlog so nice to see so many lovely places and also to see quite a few of the benches we have sat on which have brought back many great memories of our many holidays in Cornwall, also I was well pleased you mentioned me and showed my photo from the Hall Walk , returning to Cornwall next year 😃

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

I am so glad you watched it - we wondered if you would! Sarah :)

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Glad you enjoyed it and found it! We wondered if you would watch! Sarah :)

[@juliaogara8794]

Fisherman at St Ives, what a spectacular day. The ones we dream of having when down in Cornwall. Unfortunately, despite visiting for the first part of school summer break from the Midlands, we often had Cornish mizzle rather than glorious sun. And also, back here they were sweltering in summer heat. Didn't stop us returning year on year though. Take plenty of towels to the beach and you have blankets. I've needed more times than I can remember. Body boards make good umbrellas when disappearing from Sennan, that I can remember.

[@user-Juneybee53]

Just watched this, so many great benches. Our favourite is between St Agnes Head and Wheal Coates just before you drop down th the old mine buildings. A spectacular view of the mine and the cove and beyond, really fabulous! 🥰

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

We have sat on that one! Sarah :)

[@brigitteravenscroft8982]

Having only moved to Cornwall this year, we have lots of benches still to discover, but we do love the bench at Lizard Point where you can watch the waves crashing against the rocks and the occasional seal popping it’s head up.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Stunning spot! Sarah :)

[@AlanTullett]

From Sandra & Alan, thank you for showing the lovely walks and views in Cornwall,this brings back fond memories of the walks we have done on our holidays in Cornwall.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much! Sarah :)

[@stephnewman1357]

Some lovely views, too many to choose 💕👍 Andrew's jokes are as bad as my husbands 🤦😂 Love your mad dog digging that hole while you were trying to read from the book 😂

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Bad Dad jokes - always made the children groan, especially as they got older! Sarah :)

[@juliaogara8794]

I've read all The Poldark series twice. Once when the first series was done and then revisited on the second. Along with a series called Flambards it remains my ultimate series to rematch, something I rarely do other than less than a handful of films. Despite visiting Cornwall every yearly from 2003 to 2019 I have realised on watching your channel, how much I have yet to see. Unfortunately I live nearly 300 miles away so a day trip is well and truly off the cards. I'm hoping that once some drastic changes to my current life happen I get to return at least once a year for an extended period.. 2018 and 19 we are there for four weeks, our time extended as children became adults and the husband retired. Great video as always, thank you

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Our children have become adults but we are so many years away from retirement (67 for us!) we need to have fun now, not wait! Sarah :)

[@hamsterhuey9495]

My favourite bench in Cornwall is the one in front of the church in St. Column Minor by The Farmers Arms. As a teenager it was the central place for meeting all your friends from the village and hanging out on a summer evening. We would all meet there most nights before going on somewhere else or more often just sitting watching the world go by and having fun with your friends. I wonder if any of the other people that used to hang around here in the early eighties remember this.🥰

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Lovely memory, Sarah :)

[@LC-d5h]

Lovely views and your sketch was good too Sarah. Andrew you never miss a joke you are funny .

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you! Sarah :)

[@stephenlord2541]

Great video. Thank you. My favourite seat is down on old Devoran quay. Dedicated to Rodger Harris… It's so quiet and peaceful there.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Yes, really quiet and off the beaten track, Sarah :)

[@sallydingle321]

Forgot about Porthgwara... another favourite of mine 👌💖🥰

[@TravellingTorunn]

Thank you for this wonderful walk along memory lane. I have been to all these places except Polperro. It is really hard to pick a favourite. But the view of Nanjizal beach and the Song Of The Sea cave is one of them. We were there this June hoping for a swim. But on that day we had strong winds, rain, waves and high tide so we chose to be wise and not do it. This was lovely to watch. Thank you. Torunn 🥰

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Your knowledge of our coast is exceptional, and one day I will swim at Nanjizal! Sarah :)

[@TravellingTorunn]

@@CornishWalkingTrails Thank you 🥰 I like to learn about it. It is spectacular with so much history and fantastic views and nature. And lovely people 🤩 I wish you a good swim. Preferably not in 2024 I assume 😄

[@judybee]

Memories. Precious things. Such a great video on a theme of benches in Cornwall! As each one came along, I kept saying, ''Oh! We've sat there!'' but there were a few I haven't been to. Strangely the one I should have sat on (as I am such a Poldark fan!) but never have, is the Winston Graham one! My favourite bench has to be Porthgwarra, where we sat for lunch on a lovely sunny day a long time ago, so was pleased to see you had included that! Lovely to see you both (& the doggies!) doing what you (and us!) love best, walking through glorious Cornwall telling us tales of yore. x J x😊

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

I must admit that I watched the footage of Porthgwarra and wanted to get in the car and go instantly! We have not been for a while, Sarah :)

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

My cottage is half cob. It is incredibly sturdy. Obviously, it has to be rendered, but if there is any damage to the walls and moisture gets in, it will collapse even though it needs to remain damp. Also, a lot of cottages are sealed with double glazing and have central heating and this can cause the walls to dry out too much and make it fall down. I should imagine the little cottage was subjected to a lot of storms in its time and was a very perilous place to live. Must have been incredibly lonely for the wife. Quite a sad story. Sarah, I love your description of the benchy boat 😂🤣. You get to some amazing little places. I feel quite embarrassed as a fellow Cornish not getting out and seeing more. I can't think of a specific favourite bench. Tracey x

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Before we did the channel, we pretty much visited the same places. The channel has forced us to explore and we are very grateful for the experience, Sarah :)

[@andrewonmyway8184]

Bude my friends has fine benches over looking the glorious sea!

[@Cornishmaid67]

Our favourite bench is above Padstow, looking over the River Camel, where my husband proposed to me nearly 40 years ago ...

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Oh! How wonderful! Sarah :)

[@nickwebb9290]

I think benches are the domain of the local council : where they can be sited and their installation. I may be wrong of course. They are a wonderful idea especially when dedicated to a person(s) as a remembrance. Sorry don’t have a favourite, I’m always just happy to sit myself down somewhere nice 😁 Super compilation, many thanks 🙏

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you, Sarah :)

[@keefr22]

What a lovely way to start Friday! Great video again guys - and loved seeing the dogs again - especially the Cornish miner - what a great hole he dug!! Don't have a favourite bench I'm afraid - I want to sit on them all...!! 😃

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah :)

[@EllenPetersson-zs8wc]

So nice 😊 I seen all your videos, but so far I don't remember, perfect, means I can rewatch 😃

[@EllenPetersson-zs8wc]

Only sen 3min and 45sec 😆

[@colinbaker3415]

Maypole Gardens, Marazion, next to the Godolphin Hotel. Just for the view of the mount. Most pictures that we have of us sat on a bench we have one or the other of our precious little pooches on our lap, now both long gone. Happy Memories from all over Cornwall

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Happy memories! Sarah :)

[@Sherr8881]

Beautiful… 😊 Thanks!!

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you so much! Sarah :)

[@garylakey5564]

We are lucky we live in Plymouth in Cornwall all the time

[@onebagbeachclean6721]

Two favourites, first is the one overlooking maenporth and the other at bream cove at the bottom of Meudon hotel 😊

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

We know them both - stunning! Sarah :)

[@bookprincess612]

Fabulous video - full of lovely details, beautiful views, your great sense of humour and historic informations. Didn't comment your last videos because I was too busy to watch them again and again ( and sometimes just using them like a podcast 🤫). What a mixture of interesting informations, different aspects of life in Cornwall and some scaring glimpse..... LOVE IT

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you! Sarah :)

[@dthomp06]

The shell grotto benches remind me of some I visited as a child in Kent. I cannot remember exactly where. I know we went often.

[@johnbyrne642]

How could you do a video of Cornish benches and not show the one hundred plus benches in memorial field , Padstow? Another great video as always, keep up the great work.

[@mattylf1]

Mine would be any of the benches in Porthleven with the biggest pastie I could possibly get from Philps !

[@JoannaLouise200]

Wonderful video! ~ benches with a view are so evocative. Though not as scenic as yours, one of my favourites is in St Anthony's Gardens Penzance opposite the Art Deco Lido, looking out to sea and people watching. It's where I was a fortnight ago, having an early packed lunch, and getting my bearings...working out a plan for the first day of my Cornish holiday :)

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

A wonderful spot! Love Jubilee Pool. And a great view, Sarah :)

[@kathavalon19]

Smashing video as always. I particularly liked the St Ives music 😊

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Many thanks! Sarah :)

[@cornwallparanormalresearch2378]

Like and shared out in you tube community awesome Sennen are fav beach ⛱ 😎.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Great choice! Sarah :)

[@ryminsta]

There's a bench on the headland Newquay. Sister calls it mums bench and will decorate it if it's her bday or mothers day

[@gordonsimpson3235]

That was good fun. You threw me there Sarah....I thought that you had traded Andrew in for his younger brother for a moment....before I realised that you had patched in 'old' videos 😂 Your Cornish ancestry really came out at 14:48 Sarah! I love the Cornish accent.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

LOL! Yes a compilation of older stuff, for those that miss the walking videos! Sarah :)

[@barleyarrish]

It would have to be the one in my garden, but there is a beauty at Mullion high on the western cliff under the Hotel.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Oh, I know the one! Stunning view over the harbour and beyond, towards Mullion Island, Sarah :)

[@daveinch847]

The bench at Port Issac has Frank Gadman inscription as he once owned the middle house directly to your right as you sit on the bench It was a bed and breakfast which he ran with his wife Jill and also Sheila

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

That's so interesting! Sarah :)

[@robintaylor1296]

Mine is at the view site at Hall Walk on the Polruan side of Fowey River, which you have done. We used to go every year but family there has mostly moved away or are a different generatin now so unfortunately we don't visit very often.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

It is funny to wacth how life changes over the years, Sarah :)

[@busterguff1068]

In Gorran Haven, in Church Street, right at the top, 'Wrens Nest' is where Genette Tate lived, before they moved to Ayelsbeare. I knew her.

[@chuffers77787]

Hi guys, really enjoying this compilation video. Funnily yesterday I was rewatching some older vlogs going back 5 years, when it was more about having fun than about local controversy. I hope you will do a fun Christmas video perhaps to a different cornish stately home at Christmas or some more lights. For local controversy what do people in the county think about the lithium mines at St Austell? It sounds like a good opportunity to bring much needed jobs to the area for young people? Ps viewers please make your own comment in a fresh box below rather than reply to my comment box.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

We enjoy the old videos, they were more fun but, sadly, they just don't get anywhere on KZbin anymore! Sarah :)

[@chuffers77787]

I know it's hard because you need to make your time and efforts pay, but just a word to say your lovely happy puppy walks lift my spirits and make people glad, so maybe once in a while you can spare the time to pop in a new one! I keep binge watching your old ones!❤ ps a new Xmas cheer video please, maybe to a lovely old cornish stately house or garden lit up. I wish I could contribute donations but all I can do is say thank you and may blessings be yours!

[@gilladams8895]

Mine is the bench on the cliff at Mullion Hotel.

[@tractorgirl8124]

Wonderful video just found out I was saying bodinnick incorrectly 😂 I must learn how to pronounce places properly before I retire to Cornwall from a flat and horrible Essex 😊

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

LOL! Sarah :)

[@ianbernardthompson5025]

Please don’t be putting all that terrible music in your videos 💁🏼‍♂️😁😘please just uses the natural sound around at all times thanks for your videos

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

I am sure there are plenty of channels that don't use music. Feel free to watch their content, Sarah :)
