EXPLORING FALMOUTH ENGLAND VLOG ◆ Rainy Day At Pendennis Castle, Eating Pasties, & Falmouth Quay!

[Filmed October 21, 2020] PLEASE NOTE: Cornwall was in Tier 1 on the date that this video was filmed, and we had traveled from another Tier 1 area. All of the UK’s hands-face-space guidelines were followed, and Derek and I strictly adhered to all local rules and regulations.
In today’s video, we encountered the famous British weather in droves. LOT’S of rain!
As a result, we decided to explore closer to our AirBNB in Penryn, and explore the Falmouth, England area!
We started by using our English Heritage memberships to get into Pendennis Castle and learn local military and defense history.
After leaving the castle, we parked near the Falmouth High Street and explored the harbour and Falmouth Quay area with lot’s of shops, restaurants, and pubs. There, we decided to try our first OFFICIAL Cornish pasty!!! (aka eat one in the actual county of Cornwall!)
We capped off our rainy day at a local pub where we dried off and unwound.
I hope you enjoy tagging along on our visit! Cheers, and happy travels!

Be sure to hit the like button! We're so grateful for your likes, subscriptions, and shares! 👍🙏 Do you have any additional tips for visiting Falmouth? Feel free to share them in a comment below!!! 😀👇

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I was so excited to see the thumbnail and title! I literally was just talking to Ian about Pendennis Castle and telling him we needed to go visit there! So your timing is amazing 😉 We stayed in Falmouth, that was our hhome base while we visited Cornwall. We loved it, but there’s still so much more I want to see in Cornwall, so we have to go back!

[@MeansToTravel]

I agree! We were there for eight days and didn't see everything!

[@etherdog]

We really appreciate the history discussion and the geographical contexts!

[@MeansToTravel]

Thanks guys! And thanks for watching! I really appreciate the comments!

[@tosht2515]

I haven’t been to Cornwall but have had pasties quite a few times in the U.S. in and around old mining communities in California, Pennsylvania, Montana and Michigan of course. Love that Cornish miners introduced pasties to the U.S. I also had a pasty in Mexico City. Same history. Cornish miners worked in Hidalgo. *Really enjoyable episode, y’all.*

[@MeansToTravel]

That's great you've tried so many! Yes, I've heard that Cornish miners dispersed all over the world and they say that in almost every mine there's a Cornishman. Not sure exactly how true that is, but that's what I heard!

[@theresabigwideworld2632]

Sightseeing in the UK on a rainy day, it's all so familiar! It doesn't matter what time of year you visit, you can be guaranteed rainy days!

[@MeansToTravel]

Haha yes the rain is absolutely unavoidable! Thanks for watching!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

I loved the scones at Cornish Bakery! That bacon leek and CHEESE pasty sounded great 😋. My pasty quest was a highlight of our time in Cornwall 👍

[@MeansToTravel]

I was so surprised that we liked the traditional one best! Definitely wouldn't have guessed that would have been our favorite. I loved watching your pasty quest!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

@@MeansToTravel Thanks! Pasties and scones are often surprising as to which you like best!

[@iggieminana8371]

I love the rainy day backup plan!

[@MeansToTravel]

Haha thanks Iggie! Having a Plan B is a must sometimes!

[@annaburch3200]

What neat history and those pasties . . . Yum!!

[@MeansToTravel]

Yeah, I even had to cut out a part in the video where I talk about how Falmouth didn't exist when Pendennis Castle was built, and it was just farmland. So interesting to learn about the area on that tour!

[@annaburch3200]

@@MeansToTravel history is always so much more fun when you learn about it on site and can touch the place and breathe in the "same" air.

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Never when to Falmouth. Next time we go to the UK, we will take in. Thank you for the info. You make the most of the rain. it's unpredictable. You guys rock. Nice Vlog. Sending LoL from Harriet and Jim . Richmond, Va.

[@MeansToTravel]

Thanks guys! Falmouth is a great home-base on the south side of Cornwall! I hope we both get to go back to the UK again sometime soon. Thanks for watching! :)

[@PostcardAndAPint]

We really enjoyed this. We don’t know Cornwall we’ll at all, so it was lovely to get acquainted with this castle and Falmouth. Loved your pasty experience! And you finished with a pint! Our kind of people. 🍻thanks for sharing

[@MeansToTravel]

Haha yes, we are pint people like you! Lot's of good beers and ciders in the Cornwall region! Thanks so much for watching!

[@glenncamp733]

It is great to see you finishing last year's trip and sending it out. Your information is very worthwhile and I'm really looking forward to more current vlogs and seeing how your style will have changed. Good luck on better sound and volume control; however your spirit is great and good information. I also like the music.

[@MeansToTravel]

Thanks Glenn! Yes I'm always learning and trying to make things better! I have so much footage from last year that I need to release as vlogs! For this video, before I published it I did a volume check on my MacBook Pro's speakers, watched it on my aunt and uncle's really poor-quality Samsung Smart TV speakers, and had Derek watch it on our smart TV with the Sonos soundbar in Chicago to make sure the audio and volume worked.

[@glenncamp733]

@@MeansToTravel I'm watching on AirPods Pro, and my iMac 2021. The volume differs some at various times, but some of that was certainly the microphones you were using and the background noises etc. Keep up the good work.

[@MeansToTravel]

@@glenncamp733 Always really helpful to get your feedback Glenn! Yes the volume of the clips themselves vary a lot because of those reasons. I'm definitely working to make it consistent where I can! Thanks so much!

[@erikzwart5896]

Great video as usual :) this time feat. Real English weather

[@MeansToTravel]

Thanks Erik! Haha yes, the rain was definitely its own character in this vlog 😅

[@anthonygill7333]

Really like your travels around Britain and you don't moan about the weather. Have been to Most of the places you Have visited.love Falmouth on a sunny day. You get The most out of your trips. Keep going. Tony London.

[@MeansToTravel]

So glad you're enjoying the series!

[@musingsatmidlife5278]

So much cool history! I need to get to the UK just to try pasties, dang it. :)

[@MeansToTravel]

You'll love them whenever you get to try them someday! The original flavor was definitely the best one. 😀

[@TheEvergreens]

Hey guys! We really enjoy your vlogs and all the great information you give. Keep doing what you're doing ;) Cheers from fellow vloggers!

[@MeansToTravel]

Aww thanks so much, can't wait to check out your channel too!

[@INSPIRINGTRIPS]

Great video

[@MeansToTravel]

Thank you!

[@petersymonds4975]

Towards the end you thought the photo was of a school bus. Good try but they were known as a Charabanc, not seen often these days but were used before bus/tour coaches became popular. Used for outings to the seaside before there was public car ownership.

[@MeansToTravel]

Haha I was so confused when I read this and then realized you thought I said “Old school bus” instead of “Old-school bus!” I guess old-school isn’t a slang term in the UK like it is in the US 😂😂 In the US, saying something is “old-school” means it’s old timey or historic. Loved learning about this cultural difference today! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😀

[@BaggieT]

Are you visiting UK again? Seem to remember this time last year you was here aswell :)

[@MeansToTravel]

This was actually filmed last October! We filmed tons of vlogs last autumn so I’m still releasing a lot of them!

[@MeansToTravel]

I’m in Tucson, Arizona right now 😀

[@BaggieT]

@@MeansToTravel cool. Enjoy!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

So did Derek not get his cream tea then?!

[@MeansToTravel]

He didn't, actually! We weren't able to track down a walk-in opportunity! That would have been such a great rainy day activity, oh well.
