PORTREATH Cornwall from above 

Bortreath is one of the most beautiful areas of Cornwall I lived in for two months I mention behind the office of the Berbid in 82 I had my mother and sister with me it was fun days

Thanks Kernow Exp. for your video. I agree Harry Baldwin, My Grandparents, Fred and Amy Tuthill, owned Smugglers' Cottage for a few years after the war and ran it as a Guest House, I spent many happy summer school holidays there. Now that beautiful old cottage, the tea rooms, the snack bar which served for people on the beach, have been destroyed by a hideous development. I remember watching the Islesman Collier from South Wales negotiating the tricky entrance to the harbour. My Uncle owned one of the little chalets on the edge of battery hill overlooking the beach. I can remember Uncle Den and I getting up early and walking up the pathway leading to the fields above Smugglers' and gathering so many field mushrooms that my uncle used to take them to Truro and sell to the hotel kitchens. Following the vandalisation of the Smugglers' corner of the beach I will live with my very happy memories. I will never visit again as it is too upsetting to see what the insensitive developers have done.

My most favourite place and beach...my happy place too... I live in Camborne so not far away from what I call my little piece of Heaven... Thank you for this lovely video...I have some wonderful memories and it was also a favourite place to my parents...now sadly gone... but memories I cherish of my children and grandchildren loving the beach and a paddle... thank you for sharing ...😊👍👍

Saw Jethro perform at The Ops Room 1980s Pilots flew planes from there on sorties over Germany 1940s great memory of top comedian

Thank you for the great video of beautiful Portreath - My family have been visiting Portreath since the early 1940's (and myself at least once every year since I was born in 1961) as my great uncle lived in Redruth and worked at the RAF base at Nancekuke (top of Lighthouse Hill) I obviously remember Portreath a lot less built up and have very happy memories so have always been in love with the 'history' of Portreath, regardless of the changes nothing compares to the wildness of the sea crashing over the end of the pier as children we use to huddle behind the monkey hut to avoid be washed over (you could walk along it in those days) I have never seen or heard such a beautiful movement of the sea. In the 40's 50's the little chalet style bungalows that are now disappearing were mainly private holiday homes (not for rental) It's inevitable that people want to live in such a perfect place but now a lot of the new builds are for holiday lets and not private residential - I think that's where the sadness lies :(

Love it great video music 🎼🎶 too.well enjoyed.
