Well Lucas, you have surpassed yourself this time. That was awesome!! It’s a stunning part of cornwall for sure and you sure did it proud. Thanks for sharing👌
Thank heaven for RU-vid and the internet or else old housebound people like me would miss out on a lot of good stuff. I found this while I was looking for Mazey Day footage as today is The Mazey Day Parade 2024. I've found footage of 2022 and 2023, maybe today's events will be posted ny tomorrow? I''ll keep checking till I find it; a belated thanks for this heartwarming Yuletide party on what must have been a typically cold day in Penzance.
This was like The Wicker Man without anyone getting burnt alive. I've only just discovered this video and it's like watching family friendly Paganism in keepng with Yuletide. Amazing.
Both the wonderful horseshoe curve of the Line leading up to the viaduct, and the viaduct itself, remind me of the glorious curve of the Glenfinnan viaduct on the West Highland Line. What an asset for any railway to have!
The land is owned by the US, but it is not American territory, so your title and captions are misleading. You are not in the US if you stand on the land, you are still in the UK subject to UK laws and sovereignty; the same as standing on any private land anywhere else in the UK. Basic fact checking is always a good idea.
With all respect I politely advise you to do some basic fact checking yourself from official sources rather than quora. The land was gifted to America (although with certain conditions) under law, the land has belonged to America since the 1960s. The title and subtitles are correct. I did do a lot of research through different online articles before publishing this, and I highly suggest taking a look at the UK government web site where you can read the document in full. The BBC has made a short documentary about the site as well which gives more information about it too
I have visited this area many times over the years, at different times of the year and in different weather. The landscape feels so old and indeed it is. I have a regard for Avebury as I visited it as a boy on the way down to the West Country for our annual holiday. Since I now live in the South West I make a special journey up occasionally. John Aubrey (1626-1697) an antiquarian said of Avebury, "Avebury did as much excell Stoneheng, as a Cathedral does a Parish church,” I would agree as its history, excavation and layout is fascinating as well as far more atmospheric that Stone Henge, especially if you visit at times when there are few visitors.
There's a thousand videos out there on Cornwall....but this vid takes the honours; no hose-piping, no walking jolting of camera, no banal commentary, and best of all, no mug shots of the filmer to clutter the view. Every shot is clear and a work of art in itself. Well done; the Oscar goes to......TO!.....Lucas Nott!
I want to be adopted by the Cornish People but am American. My late grand pap's surname was Guinn(Gwyn) so I do have some Welsh decent if that counts for anything. That's from my mams side. My granny Guinn celebrated May Day with puttin up a maypole and make me and my brother hobby horses from straw and old broom sticks. Nothing this elaborate though! I seen the guy galloping along and it reminded of my very young childhood days.
I used to holiday here as a child. Beautiful then and now. I haven't been back since I was 16. Must make it a priority before departing this realm. I can't believe the Albion pub is still there. The beach is gorgeous and used to walk up the Gannel at low tide. Wonderful memories. Thank you. From Sharon.
