The 'thatched' village! A walk from Cadgwith, Cornwall to Poltesco Serpentine Works

Our walk starts in the fishing village of Cadgwith. After an explore around the village we pick up the South West Coast path towards Poltesco to discover a derelict serpentine works.
In the Victorian era, serpentine became very popular when Queen Victoria installed a serpentine fireplace in Osbourne House on the Isle of Wight. Once a thriving factory, all that is left is the footprint of the buildings and the warehouse, now in the ownership of the National Trust.
We head inland towards Ruan Minor where Andrew tells a Thespian tale connected with the funding of the church organ. Using quiet roads and footpaths we pick up the South West Coast Path once again to return to Cadgwith passing the Devil's Frying pan along the way.
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on KZbin, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!

We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.

Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.
