You dont need 4k, 3k or even Peter Kay, you two and Cornwall are the stars of these well filmed, well produced films. That you enjoy making them is all that matters and i for one thank you for that.
There isn't anything I don't like about your videos. Love your banter. Love the history. Love the interesting stories. Love the walks. Love the tips and tricks of visiting each town. Love the book reading. Love Andrew's little "jokes". Sarah you got him this time. Whistling. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
It’s your enthusiasm and passion for Cornwall that I love to see. Whatever makes you happy is what I want to watch. The scenery, the history, the quirky tales. At the end of the day, it’s you two who make the videos watchable. Keep up the good work!
Hi Sarah and Andrew, I can honestly say that you don't need to change a thing about your videos. They are perfect as they are 👌💖. Such a joy to watch when they pop up and I appreciate every one 🙏💖💖💖
I love watching all your videos... its the 2 of you that make them enjoyable. I like seeing all the different aspects of Cornwall, whether that be a walk or an overnight stay somewhere, and all the interesting facts that you find in your books make your videos unique x
We enjoy your videos and thank you for producing them. This one about books is especially enjoyable and pleased that you popped inside the church. Just so you know - the ‘porch’ you sheltered under is actually a ‘lych gate’. Found this in a guide book on churches “The term lych evolved from the Saxon word for corpse, and the lych gate was traditionally a place where corpse bearers carried the body of a deceased person and laid it on a communal bier. The priest would then carry out the first part of a burial ceremony under the shelter of the lych gate roof”.
Anything you do is always a pleasure to watch. It's like being in touch with old friends each week. Always interesting, always fun & takes you to places I can't visit anymore. So just keep doing what you're doing is my motto! Love the old books and the stories within them. Sounds like you are going to do some on Tintagel, which I always love, so look forward to them too. x J x
Love everything you both do - Your ability to entertain is what you do best - Your ‘book’ collection is fascinating and the references to ‘Old Cornwall’ gives an insight to years gone bye. Well done.
Fascinating video, as ever. I’m amazed and grateful that you both find/make the time to do these videos. As for format, while your latest ones have been interesting and fun to watch I really love your walks as they take me on routes I probably wouldn’t be able to do nowadays ( and I prefer the comparative solitude compared to the touristy spots 😊). Having said that, whatever you choose to do will be good to watch, you’re both so natural and professional 👌🏻
We like to mix it up a little and hope that the more touristy videos will help to cover the costs of making the walking videos! All about balance!! Sarah :)
Love those books! Learning so much from the 1800’s …you have a wonderful collection! I’m just starting to collect 1800’ books and they are fun. Cook books are grand! The cemetery background fits! (It’s ancient!!) Thank you Sarah and Andrew! Stay coo! 🌼 it’s 100 degrees (F) in my part of the woods. Would love some rain! “But be happy with your lot!” ….🌼…stay well 😉Ana
We watched a tv cookery program using old recipes and there was a huge dollop of assumed knowledge required to make the recipes, but so much fun figuring it out! Sarah :)
Please don't change a thing about your videos, they're perfect as they are. I feel as though I'm walking with you.I love the old books; I've got a couple of old ones on Cornwall but you've inspired me to see if I can find more. Thank you for everything.
I love all your videos and look forward to each one. Sorry I am not much help. I think of you both as friends and a video is like having a lovely visit. I also love the books and sometimes I add them to my library. You are connection to my much loved Cornwall. Thank you for all that you do.
You come across as two genuinely nice people and naturally funny and chatty. You show us Cornwall as it is good and bad. Your my weekly look at a place I love but sadly ( through age & health )now unable to visit. Thank You so much !!
Those tissues took me back to my childhood. My Dad had books from when he was a child. I remember a copy of Black Beauty, on the cover it said," including colour plates", it too, had tissue papers protecting the colour pictures.
I noticed the illustrator of the large blue book with the silvery illustration on the front was C. Napier Hemy. Charles Napier Hemy was a very famous marine illustrator of the 19th century. His grand daughter was Margaret Powell, who bought Trewoofe, St Buryan, my Harvey family cottage, sold in the 1930s. It was nearly derelict and Margaret & her husband did a wonderful job restoring the home and uncovering a fascinating story of it's past. The stone portals that were part of the original manor house were found in a garden in St Ives, Margaret found them and bought them, and had them installed in the doorway of the cottage. She was a wonderful woman, extremely talented, and I was very privileged to have known her.
I love everything you do on your channel. You two are so much fun to watch. I’ve learned so much about your beautiful county. The stories today were great!
I love the variety of your content and how easy your personalties are portrayed on camera. I was so self conscious having to make RU-vid video lessons for school during lockdown. Thank you for your work and enjoyment of doing these videos. It is inspiring seeing a couple having fun together! Thank you!❤️🥰👍👩🎨
Ah! Nice to have a son director! My daughter filmed and edited my videos! The best bloopers were when I had a lively disagreement and I let my natural reactions pour out. She loved it when I let loose! 🤣🤣
Hi Sarah and Andrew. There is no need for 4k. Your videos are stunning, even when watched on a 4k TV. Though a drone could add that bit extra. Keep up the good work. Cheers from South Africa.
I do enjoy your walking videos and also your helpful guides. I'm unlikely to make it back to Cornwall this year unless a miracle occurs (🤞), but always helpful to know and entertaining to watch. I loved that beautiful watercolour book you showed us. 🙂
Here on the other side of the world, I'm just happy to see you two on Saturday mornings, tramping through darling towns, smuggler's hideaways, beach trails, and fields full of flowers and sheep. Your "patter" is so engaging, and I adore your books, with the comparisons of now vs. then photos, and odd little stories. Others who may be local or will visit soon can benefit from the specifics you include, and I still find them interesting. (There is the odd chance I may be going to Devon next year, and I'd have come see you all before heading over to my cousins in W. Sussex!) Those books are terrific! The one from the Railway with the color prints! Wow! Such a find. Years ago I bought a 1902 Baedeker's Guide to London, with the fold out map. Such drastic changes after two world wars. More recently I found an 1889 travel book about South America in a shed while helping my Mother-in-law to move from the family farm. Just so fascinating. I think a drone would change the friendly, up-close vibe, where we feel like we're there with you. Andrew, you do know that unlike your darling doggies, a drone won't come when you call it. :)
I like all your videos and that they are a mix of walks and other information and I really liked seeing your artwork creation ones - such talent! I like the homemade feel and don’t think you need to upgrade anything. In today’s hyper tech world, you are a refreshing sense of what’s actually real and important! Carry on!
I remember being told long ago not to handle broken egg shells as they can cause warts 😂 As a woman who gave birth to a breach baby I may set up a business in the cure of rheumatoid arthritis 😊
As I've mentioned before, we used to live in Cornwall. We lived in Boscoppa near St Austell. We would often visit Fowey, Meva and other places and even though these places are really familiar to us, you have taught us new things. So thank you! When we visit again, it will be by train and then buses. We no longer have a car, so we'll avoid roadworks!
Just carry on doing wha you do. I love your walks. We’re Australian but lived in Cornwall for six months and it holds a very special place in our memory. Your walks bring some of that magic back.
Being a long distance viewer from America, I just enjoy every aspect of your videos. The walks, the history, the books, the corny jokes and the food shots. Not to mention the doggies! Your filming quality is fine as it is with no need to upgrade all your equipment. Maybe at some point hook up with someone adept at drones if you want to, but it is certainly not totally necessary. Keep up the good work! Love you guys, you're good for my soul.
I love whatever content you put in your vlogs and watch every one, each week. It's all about Cornwall and you are such a lovely couple, whatever you do is an an enjoyable watch. Just keep on doing what you're doing! ❤
I enjoy your films whatever they are , they are always interesting and informative. I have a few old books on Cornwall I have acquired over the years , as you say they give you an insight to days gone by , keep up the good work.
Such a wonderful video, and you have a lovely collection of books. I love the way you are mixing it up, with walks, history, traveling tips etc. it is all just perfect. I hope to visit your Cornwall one day and thanks to,you I already have an idea of which places I want to visit. Thank you so much.m
lets just say apart from the TV stuff I have never seen a video of yours I haven't liked. I have watched them all. Your totally different from other walks. I love your quirky stories and your books. I feel like I know you.
We wanted to add something more to our walks, not just say 'pretty view'! Some of the stories we have come across have made us laugh, groan, or just stopped us in our tracks so we know they are interesting! Sarah :)
Hi Mave, strange isn't it, my Mum also told me the same, it must have been passed down through families and enough people believed it. I wonder if it was just a Cornish thing. Well now you know if you are ever bothered by warts! Go STEAL some meat from the butchers, give it a good 'proper' rub over your wart/warts and bury your meat in the ground. Let me know if it works! Cheers Mo
Hi Sarah and Andrew. Thank you for a fascinating historical book video this week. I found it very interesting and informative. As your future videos keep doing what you have been doing as I know whatever you do is going to be great. Not forgetting Andrew's jokes and pieces of history.
I appreciate your videos as they provide me with experiences I can't have all myself. One encouraged me to take a walk of a tour in one of your videos on my own because I assumed I could manage the way in my condition and find back. I really like the references to the old books. And a practical recommendation here and there can be helpful for planning the next journey. So you are doing great!
Walks and scenery the Best. Parking is a useful sideline. As someone living nr.Looe who cannot now physically see the rest of Cornwall, it keeps me in touch with my favourite places. Thank you.
That is an incredible vintage book haul! They're all fascinating, and give a real insight into Cornish history, culture and dialect. The GWR 'Cornish Riviera' publication is a real find...the images are amazing. I really enjoy the CWT Channel just as it is. You explore such a variety of topics and venues, lots of entertaining banter & humour (we certainly appreciate it these days!), and extremely useful practical info for a visit to Cornwall. Personally, I wouldn't change a thing ~ I think you have just the right balance :)
Your vids are always so full of interest and fun we look forwards to each weekend to see what you have done. We appreciate all you have to do to produce a video from time spent in planning sourcing books and how well you put each video together. Sounds like you have some wonderful videos to come, especially one on Lands End where Jane spent many happy childhood days whilst staying with her Grandmother in Carbis bay.
I am so delighted by your book findings and the history you fill in. I can se no reason to use a fortune on new cameras and computer just to make 4k videos. Your videos are really detailed and sharp on my 14 years old 42 inches plasma TV and on the computer screen. I love watching the walks and scenery and to get the lovely stories and research from the olden days. I guess parking will be useful to some, but not to me who are mostly walking the coastal paths 🙂 It is such a shame that the old train lines are gone, but I have had the pleasure of cycling the Camel trail a couple of times though 🙂 I myself often take a look on Tripadvisor if I am making hotel reservations. I think the reviews can be a good indicator of quality. About whistling: My very religious paternal grandmother told us not to whistle, for then we would invoke the devil. So we refrained from whistling when we visited them, just to not scare her 🙂❤ Have you considered to have one higher tier option on your Patreon memberships, or perhaps to give us the opportunity to "buy you a coffee" now and then online? That could make some more income for you 😊 Thank you for the lovely video. Torunn 🥰
Hello Sarah and Andrew, please do not change anything in your videos. Everything is perfect! Once the wonderful historical stories, and then again hikes is the right mix. Your cameras are also of very good quality. You are both so nice and entertaining:)). Then there are the cute lovely dogs what more could you want. Thank you for the Chiverton Cross information. We have been stuck in traffic for quite a while there too. But unfortunately it is supposed to take even longer. Take care. Gabi:)
Recently discovered your channel and I would just recommend you keep making the videos you want to make. Personally I love the walks. Trelowarren for example is a magical old estate with its own fogou! So plenty more out there for you to do. Best wishes John
Another interesting story is Pendarves, with the Mausoleum, the boathouse and rhododendron walk but the house is gone! Every last wooden panel and granite block sold at auction! Sarah :)
London Stores is still trading in Wadebridge today despite a change of name to Dicksons Hardware, but to us old Bridgers, it will always be London Stores. It's up the top of Molesworth St. The last shop on the left-hand side. Opposite the Police Station. Always been a bit like Granvilles shop from Open all Hours with so much stock, but they know where everything is. So nice to see it operating from times gone by ❤
I love your presentations & really appreciated your chat at the end, to put people in the picture of your efforts & what is becoming a bit of an eclectic mix of video styles & composition. Good for you. Love your sense of humour. It's great to have some changes . I totally love the walks and today's look at old books & maps & painted scenery too. Thanks for your versatility. (I don't need drone shots or updated camera shots ;) ) Makes me want to fly over again to visit so much there! (From Aus!)
I love the weird and wonderful remedies for warts, especially the one about the stolen meat 😅it’s the way Andrew tells the tale’s that cracks me up 😂🤣😂🤣 The Cornish Riviera Book with the stunning water colours was an amazing find Sarah, I’ve learnt a lot again about Cornwall today, thank you 🙏 both, as always a very interesting if wet and soggy day! 👍 I’m grappling with the image of the pins in the grave, I expect it will ware off soon 😅 ‘hopefully’ 🤞
And thank you so much for sending the donation through, much appreciated. I was intending to email but we have family here at the moment, so very chaotic! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails your very welcome Sarah, my Son sends them on my behalf, I’ve not yet sussed out how to tackle this new technology! Enjoy your time with your family, it’s very precious and time goes by so quickly, 🥰🥀🤗
Love your videos, watched all of them now😂😂😂 love Cornwall, the wife and are have been doing long weekends all over. Just purchased a copy of Roland Rodis Cornish Harbours. Keep the videos coming.
I love all your videos and one of my favorites is the virtual walk across the beach at Marazion/St Michael’s Mount and the only thing that could possibly improve it would be drone shots. I think a drone would be a worthwhile investment and you could always practice closer to home before you took it out on the trails!
Hiya, I find the information about how to park and likely costs plus space available are really helpful. If you could include facts about toilets and cafes that would be great. You are really inspirational and I have already done some of your walks. Letting us know how much your patreon costs would also help. You do a fabulous job and it is the 'homemade' nature of your videos that appeals, which does not require hideously expensive equipment. Some folks get too hung up on the technical rather than the content imo. Thank you.
We agree that it's not the equipment, more about how you use it that's important! I don't think anyone really wants to see themselves in 4K definition!! He! He! Sarah :)
Cannot imagine starting my own youtube channel. First I will have to come up with idea what it will be about probably. In my view you doing very well as it is.
Q’s book reminds me of another book written by Sven Berlin, a St Ives artist , I think in the 1950’s, who also included ill disguised locals in his book The Dark Monarch. Many people felt that they recognised themselves and they successfully got the book banned and it only became in print again relatively recently. I’m determined to read it at some point.
I must tell you that I follow your book recommendations avidly I have bought any number of those books on Cornwall on eBay .I am increasing my collection all the time…I love them and hopefully will hand them down to my grandchildren.This video gave me loads more ideas.Thankyou so much. Joy Thompson
Will you be walking to the highest hill in Cornwall , Brown Willy, sometime in the future? I don't believe you have covered that area on CWT yet. There are some excellent walks to it either from Rough Tor or King Arthur's Hall , Garrow farm etc.
Defintiely do Brown Willy before we hang up our boots!! Just need to get Andrew to say it with a straight face!! The edit on that one could be fun!! Sarah :)
Another great video...I used to be a fine art photographer and spent a lot of time in Cornwall back in the 80s and 90s working with artists, galleries and publisher's photographing works of art...I would love it if you could do more videos about the artists
We are keen on the art societies that were in Cornwall but our knowledge is only skin deep. We have been researching more about the diversity and extent of the Lamorna colony recently and hope to go back after the peak summer season to explore a bit more, find the cottages and the vistas they painted. Sarah :)
Just really like your natural style of videos including the quality you achieve, because it really feels as if one is there, right there with you on a natural, ordinary day out around different places in Cornwall - and I just wonder if the atmosphere you achieve might be lost with some expensive upgrade of supposedly more 'sophisticated' equipment - and personally I've kinda gone off viewing lots of drone footage (on other channels) because I just want to have that feeling of being there, on the ground, with all my senses, and I think you guys achieve that. I wouldn't want to see your video style change too much. You achieve a feeling of actually 'being there' on a day out for the viewer. In my humble opinion 🌞🐬
Don't listen to the tech geeks Guys. This is a very professional (amateur) channel, and all the better for all that. Of course cost has to be a big consideration....you are not sponsored by Cornish tourism - maybe you should be!, But then again, you might lose your independence and unbiased view. Cornwall has much to thank you for. For my part, having been visiting the county since childhood (so **!!@@ A lot of years!), I continue to learn more and more about this fascination place through your channel, which then enriches my time there. So personally, I cant thank you enough. I understand the need to mash things up a bit to increase views (this all has to be paid for somehow - you are not a registered charity). But don't lose the original appeal of your product in the first place. I just keep hoping to bump into you whilst on holiday, shake your hand and stand you a Lunch.
Hi guys, shame about the liquid sunshine foiling your plans. I personally don't mind this change of format, as you are still entertaining and informing ,albeit in a different way. Perhaps a mix of walk and feature videos to keep the channel fresh ? Sarah, did the person who asked for the best pasty in Cornwall give a name? can you be sure that it's not Andrew under an alias?🤔
I don’t know how you two manage to turn out such great videos, bearing in mind there are only the two of you. I follow bigger RU-vidrs and their videos are not as good as yours.
4K don't bother it is not worth it. I love to see the scenery and you 4k is only for morons who want to count the blades of grass. The improvement is not worth the bother. As to what type of video do I prefer, it is anything you put out, they are all great. The best pasties I have ever had were from the butchers in Hayle, we took about 20 home to put in the freezer.
