"The 'unwalkable' cliffs!" and the perfect picnic spot. Pentewan, Cornwall

[@colinbaker3415]

Wow ! Wow! and more Wows around every corner. When you two experience it for the first time also it makes it more amazing. The secluded beach with the waterfall did it for me

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

There are very few parts of Cornwall we haven't reached now!! Sarah :)

[@brigidaodonnell7053]

Where I am living in the South Island of New Zealand we have many walks similar to Cornwall where we can see beautiful scenery for free, and we love coastal walks plus walks through the native bush, with lovely birdsongs, and I can’t imagine not going out for our walks! It’s really the best way to relax and wind down after a hard week at work.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

I totally agree! I get itchy when I haven't had a walk in the day! Sarah :)

[@beverleybernstein2823]

Hi Sarah & Andrew .. what a beautiful walk !! Beauty of Gods creation . 💕

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you, Sarah :)

I love your intrepid and enthusiastic four legged friend.

[@elizebethjames]

Hello! Good morning! So happy to see a new walking trail. 😀💕☕️

[@peterdovey5182]

Your last bit down the old train track brought back memories of the day we walked from our holiday home at London Apprentice, down to Pentewen and back with brand new boots on, boy did they give me a blister.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Oh no! LOL! Sarah :)

[@marieryan2541]

Hi Sarah and Andrew. Really enjoyed your walk today. Glad you did it and not me. This is one I couldn't do up and down the cliffs although the views are amazing.

[@colbyburkhart3835]

Absolutely a beautiful beach And the waterfall wow amazing thank you for sharing. I like the fact that it’s secluded and not many people walk that path.

[@Jeremy-ch4ib]

When I was a child we used to spend our summer holidays in Hallane mill, up until about six years ago it just had gas lighting. It is the most magical place, lovely memories.

[@SpanishEclectic]

I always LIKE! What a jam-packed adventure! Charming town with interesting history. Challenging cliff walk with pirate stories and a crew of bovine teenagers. Stunning views, and a bit of drama over dead ends. And wildflowers galore! I would love to go exploring with you two. Such a sense of adventure you have. On a trip to Germany with good friends, we discovered, at around midnight, that the highway back to the place we were staying didn't actually connect with the road we were on. We looked up aghast to see the bridge between the two steep hills, with no way to get there. After forty minutes of driving to dead ends in the dark countryside, we found what looked like access to a bridge across the Rhine; nope...it was a ferry dock, dark and clearly closed at 1am. We figured it out eventually, but half of the fun of that trip was all of the side adventures. I loved the privateer poem. Thanks for a great start to my Saturday! :)

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Oh gosh! it's the adventures that you remember!! Sarah :)

[@esthermorrissey1454]

This was a lovely video - scenery overload and what a super beach - beautifully and thoughtfully edited - & going to watch it again later this evening. Stunning.

[@JoannaLouise200]

Classic uplifting CWT walk! ~ beautiful cliff paths with incredible vistas, sunshine on the sea, lunch in a secluded cove, smiles from Sarah, puns from Andrew and last, but not least, doggie digging on the beach...absolutely love it ~ made my day!

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thank you! Sarah :)

[@lindacourtemanche5550]

Hi Sarah and Andrew. I really enjoyed the history of the church. The age of the buildings are fascinating to me. The flowers and the ocean were lovely. This hike was ambitious. Thanks again for sharing your walk with me. Sarah, I think Andrew should get a new pair of boots for Father's Day. The gift that keeps on giving and walking! 💕👟🐕🌹🌷🌸🌺

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

We are now in the possession of a new pair of boots! Sarah :)

[@cebusapella9125]

Hi Sarah and Andrew, Fantastic video, probably my favourite walk in that St Austell book, the walk along the cliffs is fantastic there, Hallane Beach is a gem, I discovered it first doing another walk in that book which I can also recommend,, starting at Porthpean and involves walking down the beautiful lane through Trenarren down to Hallane Beach. The cottage just above the beach I guess is a hoñiday let, and must be one of the best situated in Cornwall! I also love the inland part of the walk, especially along the canal back to Pentewan, which in itself is a fascinating place. Many thanks.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

You guess right, a holiday let with a special position! Sarah :)

[@suerobertson5132]

thank you so much for taking us to the places we could never go. LOVE your efforts ,oxoxoxox

[@bobspeller2225]

Great walk as usual . Thanks Bob

[@VintageChap]

Pentewan is a lovely little village with fascinating history. The coast path walk from Pentewan to Black Head changes from hidden enchanting woods with wooden bridges over streams, a beach, to spectacular views. The coast path walk in the opposite direction from Pentewan to Mevagissey is also lovely, but in places is steeper than the walk to Black Head! It is a beautiful part of the world.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

I agree! We have walked from Meva to Pentewan and we were kind of saying the same thing! Both very challenging! Sarah :)

[@marlinphotography5514]

Amazing and beautiful landscape! Love all your spring flowers!

Oh such a wonderful walk Sarah and Andrew and beautiful doggie, the views are absolutely stunning, just amazing when you got to the top of the hill path, thankyou so much for sharing

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Very rewarding views! Sarah :)

[@bernicebest]

This was a stunning walk on an un-walkable footpath, you dispelled that myth Sarah & Andrew with much perseverance and determination, wee brown dog wasn’t at all deterred by the difficult terrain, what a magnificent coast line with amazing views! plus Andrews charming sense of humour didn’t go unnoticed, or you Sarah trying to compete with it! well done 👏your walks are always interesting and informative, look forward to them very much, thank you 🙏 until next time🤗🥰

Thank you! Sarah :)

[@TheAncientBiker]

Absolutely stunning video.

[@sallydingle321]

Hi Andrew and Sarah, so good to see you in my neck of the woods 😋. Walked this path quite a few times in my life...but not the circular...just the coast. Walked from Charlestown to Pentewan and then back again once...it was a killer but very satisfying. I much prefer a circular like you guys, but even though I live in this area, I think I would get lost in the area you did 😁. I have approached this farm from the opposite direction before, but like you, felt like I was trespassing 😋....so hard to see where your supposed to go isn't it. I think the bitting dog might put me off too 😂. Really enjoyed hearing about the history of the area and that picture of the children in the train...just amazing and something to treasure..,thanks guys... really enjoyed this 👌💝😁😘

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

A walk to remember and I would like to do it again sometime, maybe without the threatening dog! Sarah :)

[@jamieandtherandomstuff]

Been going to Pentewan on holiday for over 40 years and did the walk for the first time a couple of years ago. Definitely would advise setting off first thing and taking your time to enjoy the stunning scenery. When we did it we had to come off at a similar point as the path beyond had been closed due to a landslide. We didn't pay a visit to the beach, gutted now I've seen you video 😂😂. Thank you for bring back some happy and painful memories. The 280 feet was VERY steep. 😰

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Stunning little cove! Maybe next time! Sarah :)

[@cuccumagic]

Great video thanks, I have to say that we really enjoyed listening both of you reading, you guys should read to us more stories 😀 thanks again ciao

[@judybee]

What a lovely little cove. Never been this way before. Challenging walk this time what with all those steps, ups and downs & getting lost with ''biting dogs'' to add to the drama! As for mentioning Cowes (not the moo-ey kind) I shall be there in 10 days time. In parts it's like a mini Cornwall on the IOW. But keeping fingers crossed that no petrol shortages in October this year to stop us getting back to Cornwall again. Lovely vid, even though it was a bit exhausting to watch you clambering up and down hill and dale! x J x

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Hope you had a wonderful trip! Sarah :)

[@TravellingTorunn]

This was a lovely walk with great views and lovely secluded beach. The coastal path looks quite walkable, though a bit steep here and there😊 I have done quite a few steps in steep hills on the coastal paths in North Cornwall. And now I see what is in store for me next year when I intend to walk here 😰😂😂 Thank you for sharing! Torunn 😍

Glad you enjoyed it, and yes we thought it was steep in places but no different to the section between St Agnes and Hayle, and I know you have walked that bit! Sarah :)

[@TravellingTorunn]

@@CornishWalkingTrails yes, I know you know that :) Thank you, Sarah! Then we'll be fine :-) We have also managed the even harder parts farther up north in Cornwall :-)

[@richardmiles5293]

Another informative and interesting walk, thank you both. I am so tempted to make comments about your ability to count steps that you will never know how much self control it has taken not to do so. 🤣🤣🤣 Nice to see a bit of gate leaning, but Andrew is letting the side down with a severe lack of pasties. LOL. Myself and the current Mrs Miles will be back down in June but it is looking like I will not be able to relax because I will have so much to do. Counting the Lusty Glaze steps, walking the unwalkable path ( inland and coastal), and eating Andrew's share of the pasties. 😅😅😅. Keep up the great work, stay safe and healthy. Maybe we will meet up one day.👍👍

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Hi Richard and Mrs Miles, thanks for your lovely comment, if Andrew did eat all those pasties he had better be careful leaning on the gate as it might collapse! Hope you make it down in June and thank you for your support. Tomorrows video is filmed in Port Isaac, and if you are looking for a decent pasty Andrew can recommend Nikki B's pasties in the village centre. Cheers Sarah & Andrew

[@geoffwbaU]

Many thanks for posting this very watchable video Sarah and Andrew. It brings back some lovely memories of two holidays I had at Pentewan in the late 80s/early 90s. On the one holiday i had a self-catering flat on the second floor of that building you see at the harbourside. It has what appear to be garage doors, but it might be for storing boats. On the other holiday I cannot remember exactly where I stayed. It is a lovely old-fashioned Cornish village and from your video it has hardly changed since I last visited and I found found its history of a china clay port very interesting. Along the coast to the west was a large holiday camp, which I imagine is still there. Even though I was a lot fitter then, I didn't do those cliff walks !

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Indeed the holiday camp is still there, vast and eye catching, can't miss it, Sarah :)

[@redcap774]

I am gradually catching up with earlier vids and find each one so interesting, such breath-taking scenery that fits your most entertaining dialog . Something that makes me aware has to be Cornwall's coastal erosion, a sure sign of climate change.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Coastal erosion - one of Andrew's fav topics! Sarah :)

[@MrBarneymcgrew]

Another great walk - many thanks, I am enjoying them all! Nice to hear the words of AL Rowse - there is a memorial to him on Black Head literally just a few yards further on from where you turned off the SWCP. Was this a coincidence or was there originally a plan to incorporate the memorial?

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

We are aware of the monument on Black Head but with it being adder season, we though we would be wise to leave it, and take it in when we walk from Porthpean! Sarah :)

[@alanwetherelt7155]

Did the exact same walk today, met the farmer, his dog was locked in the trailer, we stared from the car park on the trail

[@neilcurson4505]

Our daughter in law searches for sea glass on Pentewan beach. Have you read the novels by EV Thompson, The Jagoes of Cornwall series? Based around Pentewan.

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

No, I am aware of the author but I think his popularity was waining by the time I was becoming 'literally aware', so to speak, but it may be an author I visit in the future! I've just read Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, really enjoyed it. Sarah :)

[@Louisa93able]

I think A. L. Rowse became a historian of Tudor, mainly Elizabethan times.

[@cebusapella9125]

Forgot to add how sorry I was to read about the sad loss of your black doggie!

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Awww, thank you. We are collecting his ashes later today, Sarah :)

[@WolfmanWoody]

As for boots, you should first of all make sure they're comfortable, but then quality comes into play. I found Meindl one of the best makes, but you have to look after them. If you're going in saltwater, you might be better off with leather and polish them with a preserving cream. If you can spot the sole falling off early that simply stick them back on with Superglue, industrial strength that you find in builders' suppliers. Some guys told me that, but it could be a load of cobblers. (My jokes can be as bad as yours, Andrew.)

[@CornishWalkingTrails]

Thanks for the tip! Sarah :)
