I'll need a few days in Boscastle for walks in several directions. I love the look of the village,and that stream is just what I always need. Thanks again!
I LOVE Port Isaac and all the walks you take. It's all got such a healthy,romantic feeling. English t.v. is a great escape for me here in calif.my parents took me only as far as touristy London but I love your country there.VERY BEAUTIFUL, MYSTERIOUS AND ROMANTIC FEELING it ha.thank you. Abby S3
For Andrew: Tree-hugging pups of the world unite - we've nothing to lose but our bark! That said, I once hugged a Sequoia so big around, a dozen ppl holding hands couldn't have enclosed it entirely. Some of the largest trees I've ever seen reside along the Northern Pacific Coast in the Petrified Forest, Yosemite, & other Redwood stands in CA, remnants of true giants, akin to Tolkein's Ents. I was visiting a friend in Northern California one afternoon when a huge Redwood came crashing to the ground rt across the driveway from her home, very near to where she'd just parked her new car. It literally shook the house when it fell. We ran out to see what had happened & found it lying there. It was massive & had felled several pines & other neighboring trees on it's way down. Once we'd calmed a bit, we went climbing on it to find it full of some kind of wriggling larvae (ew) which had eaten it alive from the inside, causing it's demise.
@@CornishWalkingTrails Thx, ideed it was! There once were coastal & inland forests filled w/these behemoths. It's a constant battle, attempting to preserve remaining stands. City/state development concerns are always trying to raze them for housing & widening coastal roadways. But once gone, they shant return. I"m a less cars, more trees kinda gal. A happy week/wknd to u & yrs!
We did this walk after a lot of recent rain, yes, Andrew, the steep path you walked up, was extremely muddy, we lost the dog in woods on the return leg and had to walk through the ‘Welly” to finish the walk ! We prefer your route....
I love your videos really makes me homesick so after living ten years in Tenerife we are coming home and have picked around Bodmin area not too near the Brits abroad brigade ( budgie smugglers in sock's and sandals and cheap beer and fags ) also my wife and I miss all the greenery plus the history of our country, PS. keep up the great work it's making me want to come back even quicker.
My husband and I have just come back from Cornwall. We have done this walk many times it’s beautiful in the spring , you were lucky the trail was dry it can get very muddy and slippery. The minster church is well worth the hike ,so pretty.
Thanks for the lovely informative walk through Boscastle. . . . What a lovely place. I love the Spring too where everything is waking up and coming alive. Thanks for sharing and see you next time.
Lovely video. Will give you a follow. Boscastle is where my heart lies. The most tranquil, beautiful place on earth. I have stayed at Driftwood cottage (the small blue door) and wondered the same thing how on earth anyone could get furniture jn there!
Oh this charming, picturesque village with bluebells was so soothing to watch. It is a lovely spring season in Pennsylvania this year and bluebell plants were given to us by my nephew last year and they popped up in my daughter’s garden. To see them growing wild in abundance is a real treat!! Thank you for sharing!!🌿
I suffer with agoraphobia so your videos have been a delight to watch Cornwall and Devon are places I have always wished to visit , I almost feel as if I have, thanks to you both 😊
me too! I'd love to go on walks like this, but with a phobia of the wind and drafts against my face, I struggle to walk in general. I truly envy and admire Sarah and Andrew!
We have a steam train @Great Central Railway called Boscastle its been in bits 10yrs finally about to be run again. I visited your Boscastle in 2016 for a day unfortunately bad weather
Very good video Sarah and Andrew - Thank you. Right after watching, I went to the video of the floods in 2004 (hard to believe it was that long ago!) just to see the comparison of now and then. Believe it or not It's even more shocking!! I think for those around the world who might not have seen or might not know even - Its worth watching. Just to see how nature has restored her magnificent beauty and what a mammoth task those people had getting their homes and business back to normal again.
Bit late watching this one this week! But what a treat! I liked the hugging trees bit..I am lucky enough to have a woodland garden with many trees in it including a huge pine tree which is about 150 years old we worked out. Just a peaceful tranquil place to be & although it wouldn't win any awards from gardening experts, we love it for all the wildlife around here, although we are missing the bluebells so it was nice to see them in your vid. Isn't it exciting when you find an isolated old church in the middle of nowhere & then find it's open too! Loved the history around it and the scissors & Jane's little headstone. Lovely walk you two. J x
Once more a great video, a little late watching this week due to work, couldn't wait to see it, how you brighten my day and everyone else's. Thank you both you are a breath of fresh air in this crazy world, keep up the good work. Xx😘
What a wonderful hike I really liked the magic forest and the mysterious church. From Penally Point you have a nice view over the harbor entrance and the harbor, that is one of my favorite pictures. stay healthy. best regards Günter
Love your videos :). Thanks so much for sharing the big and small details. I especially used to love walking in April and may with the world springing into life. Now I do it vacariously with yourselves and Athena mellor. Thanks again both if you and Keep on having fun.
Once again, a cracking video ! I love the information and history you give out , . Only a few weeks left till I'm down there in your beautiful Cornwall !🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟
A most interesting video. We thoroughly enjoyed your walk around Boscastle. Your use of a hundred year old map was intriguing and helped make this one of your very interesting and entertaining videos. Thanks so much.
What a lovely walk! Spring at its best! I used to have slow worms in my garden ,my cat had a habit of catching them! But I always removed them from the cat and put them somewhere safe, slow worms are a protected species and they are great in the garden eating pests ☺️
@@CornishWalkingTrails don’t worry they don’t bite lol they are not slimy , if you see one out in the open just pick it up and put it in long grass or somewhere safe, they are great in the garden for pest control 😁
What a beautiful walk!...all the sights and sounds of Spring, and I bet the scents from the earth were amazing ~ waking up from a long Winter. I have an idea about the scissors on the church ~ there was a mentioned that Joan Wytte's ancestors were weavers, so it's a possibility a medieval cloth making (weaving) guild funded/sponsored the building of the church, hence their emblem being recorded in the stonework for posterity. Lovely uplifting video ~ thank you two so much.
@@CornishWalkingTrails Of course, I could be barking up the wrong tree...but would much rather hug one! ~ you two hugging trees was wonderful! Haven't hugged a tree in ages, though I did sniff the trunk bark of two grand old pine trees in Kew Gardens last week! There was method in my madness ~ one of them provides essential oil for the perfume industry (though it clearly wasn't from the bark!)😊
@@JoannaLouise200 How interesting! I never thought of sniffing a tree - above a certain height of course! I guess a pine tree scent has to originate somewhere, Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails I totally agree ~ never sniff below the 4ft line! (where's this going). The tree in question is a Deodar Cedar, native to the Western Himalayas. Having just looked it up (dear Wiki), it seems the precious oils are extracted mainly from the heartwood, and they're also use in Ayurvedic medicine :)
Gosh! Andrew has got rid of that furry stuff that seemed to be growing all over his face. Looks 20 years younger! Pretty little church. Just plain and simple. It’s a very beautiful walk and the school. Wonderful. I can usually recognize an old school long after it’s ceased to be in use. They have a distinctive shape and at least around my way, the windows were unusually high off the floor. For a good reason.
We live just down the road, and normally walk along the coastpath from Boscastle to Tintagel. But I'm definitely going to try this out, as it looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Love watching your videos, we are coming down to Cornwall tomorrow 8th May for a week, staying near Launceston and will be doing quite a few of your walks
Kildetekst I loved this. And it is remarkable how little changes there are after 100 years. And thank you for the touching story about the poor Joan Wytte. I have visited Boscastle, but we just had a brief visit to the Whichcraft museum (which we found so eerie that we didn't stay for long) and had a lovely cream tea and the soup of the day for lunch at the Harbour Light Tea Garden before walking further on to Tintagel. It is sadly impossible to take a rest day in all the lovely villages along the path, so we are missing a lot of interesting things. So I love that you are showing all these amazing details :-) Thank you. Torunn :)
Hi Torunn, I hope we bring a little of what you walk past on your epic journey. Alas, I guess it would take twice as long if you were to stop at every village, Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails You really fill the gaps along our Cornish quest :-) And yes, it would take twice as long and cost a lot more to stop that much. So I am very grateful for all your videos :) Torunn.
Thank you guys, I love following your walks but I have to say this one really really made me want to be with you! Unfortunately I'm in poor health now so will never go there. At least I can go with you.. Thank you please keep them coming x
I was baffled when you said "let's get down to the wellie'. Wellie? I didn't see a big boot in the village! When you arrived, there was no need to ask, was there? So, instead, I will ask how the name Valencia landed in England?
