Our video feature three cornish folklore stories: St Michael's Mount and the Giant, Trevose and the cursed field and the Deadman's hut at Portreath in Cornwall. #Iamacreator
You must be mad.......Enjoyed the Giants story and again a most enjoyable video. Good story telling and fun to watch well done again.Love to watch your videos,
Keep on walking for those of us that are no longer able! Fun stories & just live the way you two play off each other! Appreciate every step you take & the hard work of photographing/editing.
Thank you! We have had a bit of a technology problem today - my camera broke at the start of filming and we couldn't fix it!! Technology - we have a love/hate relationship! :( Sarah
That must have been some apron that Cormelian was wearing! Love your story-telling of the giants. Giant pit!! Quite a sad story about the fish - just shows we humans have been selfish and greedy for time immemorial. Well done Mother Ivey! You were brave going back to the Deadman's hut in the dark. Not keen on ghost stories myself, scary, scary, scary. Another great video - superbly edited. Thank you for the folklore and as is often the case, there is probably more than a hint of truth in it - especially the giants!
Glad you enjoyed it - we have been struggling to film at the moment because our days off are not falling together! Work is getting in the way of our hobby, Sarah :(
Thanks for subscribing, we have a video on Holywell, and if you are here in June, check out our video, Poppies at Pentire. Fantastic walk but the flowers are only there for a brief time. Enjoy! Sarah :)
Well I did enjoy the story about the giant who built St Michaels and who stole the local cattle (and his wife who dropped Chapel Rock). Very interesting if its true and a great story , true or not. We visited Marazion in 2015 but the tide was in so we didn't get across the causeway. I did enjoy this video a lot. Thanks.
You're very welcome - we had some fun filming it! St Michael's Mount is something special, I think you would agree, no wonder there are myths and legends surrounding it! Sarah :)
I remember seeing Ed Prynn from St.Merryn many years ago telling the folk tales of Harlyn on our local Tv,he was quite a character,think i've seen him on here actually. My distant relatives owned the mount once upon a time as we're direct descendants of the Bassett's of Tehidy who owned it back in the 1600s. Strange but quite true! The family have been on the slippery slope of penury ever since! Another good one Sarah & Andrew.
Andrew looked up one of his videos about a rocking stone, absolutely wonderful! I was thoroughly entertained - true cornish character! Didn't the Bassets marry into the family at Lanhydrock too? WOW! What lineage!! Like you say, strange but what a strong link to Cornwall! We did a bit of digging, family tree etc, and traced ancestors to Cardinham Church in 1676! Sarah :)
Getting back to the 1600s Sarah is quite an achievement .Dad's side have been traced to the 1400s and mum's the 1500s in Cornwall,and judging by the Cornish language surnames that are also in the family maybe longer.There is a link to the Agar Robartes of Lanhydrock too i think as most of the Cornish 'nobles' were all interrelated,then again we are Cornish... Have a good weekend,Andy.
Nice of those giants to build St Michael's Mount for you all (and now us) to see. Too bad that they weren't nice about anything else. Jack's "giant" pit. HAHAHA! Mother Ivy's field. Interesting and sad stories. Congratulations at being "out standing in your field"! HA! Great and historic location! A place of reverence... You guys are funny! The ghosts didn't make an appointment?! What's that about? Thanks for taking us along! Fun video!
Glad you enjoyed it all. It's all true, you know!! Drinking a Cornish Ale today - Boilers Golden Cornish Ale by a brewery in St Ives, 4% - it must have been good because Andrew nearly went to sleep all afternoon!! Not such a happy day today - our camera has broken and we need to buy a new one - what camera do you use? Sarah
Naps are good! ;-) Breaking your camera is bad. I'm sorry to hear that! We film with a Panasonic HC-V770. I really like it. We take pictures with a Sony Cybershot. Hope your weekend is relaxing!
Hi Sarah and Andrew!! What a Fun video, totally got a giggle out of the “he could have borrowed our doggies “ comment. Have you visited the witchcraft museum in Boscastle? One of my daughters would absolutely enjoy visiting that museum when we get a chance to make our way to Cornwall, she is not into witchcraft lol,but is fascinated by the supernatural and ghost stories and has actually done an overnight stay in a local “haunted house” which has been on History channel a couple of years ago!! Sending lots of happiness and health your way. Lori from Ohio
Thank you! Yes, we have visited the Witch museum - its part of the Boscastle video. It's a fascinating place, covering all sorts of supernatural themes. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Andrew is trying to persuade me to stay in the Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor. It has a reputation for being haunted and has features on a program called Most Haunted, a good watch! Thank you for another positive comment - I think we may be doing another video like this in the near future, watch this space!! Sarah :)
Really cool info, me and my wife have visited saint Michaels mount, we had to get the boat back haha, people are crazy walking the path up to their torso
Thank you! I hope we are up to standard! Andrew loves ghost stories and we wanted to test other peoples appetite before we do another video like this - I hope you gave it a thumbs up! :) Sarah
Hi, I have visited there. It was very wet and windy on the day, and decided not to climb the last few steep steps. Hope to visit again in the warmer weather.
We are planning to return before the main visitor season starts. We have a lovely walk from Penzance to follow, and combine this with a trip inside the house. I went there on a school trip and I have been back with my children but not for a long time, so I am looking forward to it! Sarah
Lovely video :-) And very exciting. I am certainly going to check out the Dead Man's Hut in August during my walking holiday from Padstow to St. Ives :-)
I'm glad you are inspired by our story to check out the Deadman's Hut - it's easy to find and the views are great! Let us know if you sense anything spooky..... Looking forward to your next comment, Sarah :)
That's good feedback - It will encourage us to make another one about folklore. We have a few ideas to pursue over the next few months, so watch this space! :) Sarah xx
Great stories ....love to follow you around Cornwall .....have a pastie for Englishman.....hey that would be a good video the history of the Cornish pastie ,
I don't think Andrew needs any encouragement in the pasty department! We regularly sample pasties and include any footage in videos, looking tasty and 'ansom! Sarah :)
+1 for Cornish Pasties... one time I was on holiday in Looe, I found a fantastic bakery on the riverside and ended up having a pasty every single day!! Stories were great to hear about... these are really fantastic videos, love the commentary, fun and chat in every one. :)
photopuppet I really enjoy them too, I tried to cook some on my channel.....but just couldn't manage the crimping the same edge, you welcome to check out my channel similar to this but about Malta
Ok so Andrew I loveghosts, witches and anything to do that's scary, also I don't get the giant pit joke or the standing in my field bit. I love that you did a funny ghost hunt. As for the Michael mount is there a village and can I spend a summer and fall on it?
If you really want to stay, the cottages, at 4:10, are available to rent for holiday visits, through the National Trust, a charity that maintains historic buildings in the UK. I was outstanding in my field of research but also out standing in a field, like a scarecrow - A play on words! Also, a giant pit to catch a giant, i.e a great big hole. Right'on m'ansom! (Cornish dialect for "alright, mate!" You may need a crash course in Cornish dialect and slang if ever you come over here!) Sarah :D xx
Cornish Walking Trails I am going to look at those places. I want to spend like a good month or three over there. As for speech lessons can't I just hire you two as teachers? Also omg so funny the jokes thanks for explaining and thanks for the awesome channel. My friends are SO sick of me drowning on lol. I wish my mum was still alive so I could ask where it was by tintagel she was from. They moved here when she was 7 so who knows lol.
We'd have to 'dig deep' for £3m, if you get the pun! What I found extraordinary is that they have put a glass atrium in the roof, above the stairs - it looks beautiful but I think you would probably die of shock when you looked at the heating bill! Sarah :)
