Bos or Bod is a Cornish language word. It means 'to be', in place names means the place where you live, i.e. a dwelling or home. However, Boscastle is just a Cornish contraction of Botreaux Castle (only a few bits remain), the mediaeval home of the Norman French family, called Botreaux. So in Cornish was probably the home of the castle i.e. Bos-castle. From Bodmin (home of the monks), Cornwall.
I must say that we totally enjoy every episode you guys release, because your so honest and funny and make us feel like we're with you. As always so fun looking forward to you next adventure ;) Safe travels, James and Kim
Hello from North West England. What a lovely video. Love your passion for knowledge. Cornwall & Devon is beautiful have been many times. Have subbed will catch up on other videos soon.👍🏼
Stacey is so pretty, adorable and sweet. The two of you always look so happy together and so enthusiastic during these videos that it makes them a pleasure to watch. I grew up in Cornwall, lived in a place called Hayle and spent much of my childhood around places like Penzance, St. Ives, Camborne, Marazion, Truro, Falmouth, Newquay and more. I live in Wales these days though, welsh valleys to be exact and had to move out of Cornwall for the purpose of finding work but I miss it a lot. Hope to move back some day. I'm glad you enjoyed your time there.
@@DanegerAndStacey You're welcome. As for visiting Wales at some point in the future I do not think the welsh valleys where I live is the best part of Wales and I only moved to this part of Wales for work, it's mostly rolling hills with sheep and horses walking about and some mountains, some small towns scattered around throughout the valleys but they are generally not thriving economically these days and quite run down. If exploring Wales at some point in the future, north Wales would be my personal preference though I do really like the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley a lot too which has some beautiful locations to visit and explore. Some of which feel almost magical in nature, hidden gems off the beaten track. Pembrokeshire is also really nice in west Wales. I would skip places like Newport and Cardiff personally, Newport more so than Cardiff.
D and S I have always enjoyed your videos since I subscribed about 6 months ago but I'll tell you what I've realised I really enjoy about your videos, it's when you do the slow mo,s of the scenery, it makes you feel like you are there when you are watching it........Keep it up, great interesting vids, Moooooah x
I’m born an bred Cornish and I live in helston which is a small town on the lizard thank you for summing Cornwall up so beautifully if you ever decide to come back I can show you places tour guides don’t know about and won’t take you good luck and have fun with your travels
Beautifully filmed and a perfectly chosen soundtrack! You have really captured the light and the feel of Cornwall here. My first real seaside holiday (aged 6) was in Fowey, Cornwall and so the region has a special magic for me. You can tell how long ago it was because the train journey from Birmingham to Par in Cornwall was behind a steam engine (it was back in 1961). We had a fantastic family holiday in St Ives when I was 12. I haven't been since so really looking forward to your take on it in part 2!
I've been worrying the soundtracks have been a bit toooo chilled recently and maybe people get bored? We personally love it, but its different when other people watch your experiences... who knows! Love that you took a steam train to the region, that would actually be a lot of fun if they were still offering that as an option!
@@DanegerAndStacey The acoustic music perfectly accompanies the ancient landscape and old stone buildings the footage - I think it sets a perfect mood. There are actually a number of preserved steam railways in the South West - the South Devon Railway at Buckfastleigh in Devon and the Dartmouth Steam railway in Paignton Devon are just 2. In fact there are loads of them in the UK - www.heritage-railways.com/map.php covers them!
You seem to time where you go so it's chilled (almost never overrun with tourists)... :) Being too dainty with the cream... Gotta be more of it... :) A pasty is designed to be eaten in the hand... The crimping of the pastry is a handle... You would never find a traditional Cornish person eating one with a knife and fork...
Did Robbies also tell you that Tintagel is the county seat or regal home to Sir Lancelot. A knight of King Arthur’s court and a favorite of Queen Guinevere. King Arthur’s wife. Tintagel is where legend has it. That Sir Lancelot removed King Arthur’s sword from the famous stone. is where St Ives is a beautiful town 60 years ago. There were dozens of artist studios along the beach looking out over the ocean. Navigating the streets by car was near impossible. They are so narrow. I think today the town is mostly pedestrian precinct. The town today couldn’t handle the traffic volume passing through it. St Ives was the crown jewel of Cornwall when I was a kid. I’m now 71 and am eager to see the town as it is today. 55 years after I was there.
Hey Bryan - loooots of storys about King Arthur across these few days, so many that it was hard to recall them to share in the videos! Dean as super knowledgeable and shared loads of insights and tales on the area. In the next video we explore St Ives, so we can give you a little taste for what is' like now :) Beautiful place.
Thank you guys for responding. I’ve been following you both since you were in the Philippines. Watching you videos convinced me to move here. I’m in Hilongos Leyte. Just 3.5hrs from Cebu on the ferry.
@@DanegerAndStacey I sure did Drove to penzance and then land's end. Loved driving around England and Scotland. Drivers are so much more courteous and polite on the road than us Aussies.
Great video guys, if you are still in Cornwall try and check out Polperro a lovely smugglers harbour town. Also make sure you have a pint of tribute beer!
Hey guys👋🏾loving your Vlogs and how much time you give in each place👍🏽I'm definitely doing this road trip, England is next on my bucket list and would love a map of your route!! My family history traces back to the Cornwall area so I'm thoroughly enjoying all these stories and "KBs"😜
Glad you're digging the KBs - they run deep in this series with Rabbies and we're sharing like 1% of the info haha! We can highly recommend the route we did, there are maps on the site here: www.rabbies.com/en/england-tours/from-london/5-8-day-tours/devon-cornwall-a-magical-land-of-legends-5-day-tour
Never Knew that was the origin of "stinking rich" , another one you may like is the term "hangers on" meaning people who befriend the rich hoping to make money from them. It comes originally from the practice of rich people who were to be hanged, paying men to pull on their legs if the drop didn't kill them so as to end it quickly! Another super video keep them coming!
Jam first.Bude and Boscastle on the north coast has its surfing and beautiful coastline.Looe on the south coast has sailing,boating and fishing and beautiful coastline.Cornwall has lovely food as well.I know how lucky i am to live here.
"There isn't a landscape in the world more artfully worked, more lovely to behold, more comfortable to be in than the countryside of Great Britain. It is the world's largest park, its most perfect accidental garden. I think it may be the British Nation's most glorious achievment"...........American born author, Bill Bryson in 'The road to little Dribbling'.
Thanx for reminding me how lucky I am to live here😊 Penzance and now Newquay. It is stunning and you really appreciate the few months of good weather when it comes there cant be many better places in the world. I hope you went to kynance cove on the lizard? My fave beach by far anyway❤
I bet its the ultimate spot when the weather comes right! We didnt get there no, but we got enough of a taste that we'll definitely be back to explore further!
Cornwall benefits from the Gulf Stream carrying warm air across the Atlantic from the Caribbean and if the wind is Southerly it gets warm air from Spain, Portugal etc. It is also the furthest south and west so is sheltered from cold air coming down from the North sea, Baltics etc.
Haha witchery. Interesting about stinking rich. Did not know that story. You seem to be discovering amazing gems on this tour. I love your guide's voice.
I started from episode 1 back in May watching a few at a time and now I am finally up to date!!! Cant wait for the next one. Im not sure what I'm gonna fill the whole with now haha.
Wooow Gary - thats a lotttt! Been a while since someones messaged us talking about doing the full back log - hope you've managed to pick up on the progression of our videos :)
Such an amazing place, isn't it? Best tip is honestly to start/keep producing content, your first videos won't be great (no one's are) but you need to make more to improve and slowly gather more exposure. It takes years to 'make it', but it's worth it. Best of luck!
4:38 We spread the jam and dollop the cream without any regard for calorie consumption (Dollop Noun/shapeless mass of something, especially soft food.)
Hiya Both, if you want to sea coast line you need to go to Scotland!!! Highly recommended! Visit Oban and straight journey to Inverness! spectacular scenery It's my heaven on the Earth 😜 Argyll & Bute Highlands
It so many beautiful hidden gems check Gardenstown&crovie Tounge Glen affric Glen strathfarrar Dunrobin Castle Dalavich Inveraray Castle & Gardens and many more plenty of charm and history must try seafood from green hut on pier in Oban delicious 😋 I hope you enjoy
Ahh Cornwall, the beautiful land where one of my favourite British tv shows ever is filmed - Poldark. I'd sure love to visit and do a tour. oh and p.s i do recommend the show to any British tv and period drama lovers.
@@DanegerAndStacey aye cheers love to spread the love around for a good tv show. love your travel vlogs guys keep it up, been watching you since the Romania vlogs
@@DanegerAndStacey sorry guys it was a term Luke Nguyen used when he bit in to a deep fried Mars bar that was fresh from the fryer . he did not have mouth feel as much as burn :)
When flash floods happen at Boscastle, it's mainly the river that courses floods when rain water rushes strait down of the nearby hills most drastically when the tide is in and isn't coursed by the sea suddenly rushing in. Also I know Cornwall for it's excellent "Doombar" beer and Rattler cider.
Hi, Daneger and Stacey. My name is Thiem (Tim) and I'm from VietNam. I very love your videos, it's so beautiful. I just wanna say that I hope you guys can make more videos like this for us. Because it is very useful to study English and the other things. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The reason for the "strange" place names derives from the Cornish language which is one of the Brythonic Celtic languages (along with Breton/ Welsh ) the language is still taught in schools. As an Aussie you should be aware of that as a few places in your country are named with Cornish names Launceston in Tasmania for example.
If the jam & cream is good quality; jam made with 50% each fruit & sugar, not glucose syrup, then the way to maximise both is to put the jam first. If the jam is on the cream, putting less of each prevents a run-off.
Hey Stacey and Daneger! Spotted a sign welcoming visitors to Cornwall... “Welcome to Cornwall. When it’s hot please dress for the body you have, not the body you want thanks” Also spotted, a sign on a fire exit which reads “ In case of fire, exit building before tweeting about it” Another sign at a cafe reads “Unattended children will be given espresso and a kitten” What about this sign on a blackboard at a primary school “Dear algebra, please stop asking us to find your X. She’s never coming back and don’t ask Y” If you spot any interesting signs in Cornwall , please let me know ya... 😅
I’m from Cornwall and honestly it’s as beautiful as you made it out to be. Also the majority of Cornish people put the cream on first even though it is the Devon way 😂
Ooooh you're letting out all the local secrets now haha! That's good to know, a few times we secretly did it the Devon way and hoped no one would notice!
It is England. It just is. Nothing against the idea of Cornwall having a regional assembly - I'm very much in favour of regional devolution - but its just factually inaccurate to say that Cornwall isn't in England. Merica, Northumberland and Kent has as much claim to not be English as Cornwall, since its been hundreds of years since all of those places were conquered by Wessex. I guess the only difference is that Cornwall has always been considered a Duchy, but Duchys are usually part of a larger kingdom, so I've never understood that argument. I've also heard the argument that Cornwall was never formally incorporated into England in an Act of Union, but nor were any of the aforementioned places, they were all just conquered by Wessex, and thats what came to be the Kingdom of England. Again, nothing against Cornish nationalism per se, I just don't like it when people try to change history or ignore the facts to support their ideological commitments.
@@monkeymox2544 Mercia, Northumberland and Kent have less claim than even Cumbria. Being Saxon/Angle/Norse places before Wessex ever invaded. As for the Duchy the worse case scenario is that Cornwall is a Palatine within the UK similar to Sark in the Channel Islands. The Duke having powers over things that the Crown would have in England, including the right to raise a parliament and an army, indeed any Crown institution within Cornwall is there only because the Duchy have given permission. There is no evidence of any mass invasion of Cornwall, a small latter incursion in the East a few solitary battles in the North. When the border was set in the 930's it was set in perpetuity. At King Henry VIII's coronation he pledged to protect all countries in his domain, which included Wales and Cornwall, there is evidence Elizabeth 1st did too. Language, what 'county' has it's own language? And please don't go down the well trodden route that the language died with Dolly Pentreath, it didn't and never has died, it came within a whisker it is true to say, but the early 20th century revival is a very successful one. Then we have the Oxford University 2012 DNA census which clearly shows a genetic divide along the Cornish border. The 2014 ruling that made the Cornish an ethnic minority. And Gloriana, the Queen's barge, which flew the flags of all of the UK's countries including Cornwall at her Diamond Jubilee, if she can recognise it, so can you :)
@Florentine 193 My point is, none of those places had any kind of act of union, they were all conquered, as was Cornwall, so the argument about there being no Act of Union incorporating Cornwall into England makes no sense. Cornwall became part of England in the days when international relations boiled down to "I've got a bigger army than you, so you guys had better surrender toot sweet." My point, basically, is that the Cornish have no more right to have a chip on their shoulder than practically anywhere else in England.
Oh yes they are so serious about putting k=jam first then cream in Cornwall. I have a couple a couple friends from there and I keep telling them it is hard to put jam first but they keep telling me that putting CREAM FIRST is discusting
Its hilarious how serious and deep the rivalry goes and how no one is willing to try the other way! The thick layer of cream seems to be the best way to create a firm layer!
@@DanegerAndStacey Aye no worries. I'm from Yorkshire, North Yorkshire in fact, where we have both the Moors and Dales national parks (think Dartmoor, with more sheep and then rolling hills/valleys with even more sheep) which then extend to the Lake District. Some places you should visit - Scarborough, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Ravenscar, Goathland (A stop on the N.Yorks Steam railway), York, obviously and then pop over to Cumbria with Keswick and Kendal.
Got to be joking and I'm from the north but lived on Cornish north coast for past 35 years. Yes some nice bits all over UK but Cornwall and West Country best by far.
@@Thursdaym2 It might be the climate differences. I prefer windswept, cloudy grey days over a wild looking beach. (Northumberland etc) As opposed to sandy beaches under a blazing sun with ice creams. (I should point out, I'm from Scarborough, which probably explains a lot)
Not part of England, we are a Dutchy and the Queen is not our ruler, we are beholden to Charles the Prince of Wales who is the Duke of Cornwall and he receives rents and other payments through the Dutchy estates. We have minority status so same as Wales. You don't spread the clotted cream you just dollop it on. And in your trailer you are eating your pasty with a knife and fork! No no no pick it up and eat it with your hand. Kernow bys vykken. 💖
