Please enjoy our step-by-step virtual walk to exercise at home, or simply relax. In today's video we take a walk from Mingoose a tiny hamlet near to St Agnes. We follow a path through Chapel Coombe, now owned by the National Trust. Passing abandoned mines along the way we reach Chapel Porth, a somewhat rocky cove.
Leaving the cove we pick up the 'American road', built by American troops stationed at St Agnes Head in WWII. walking through further min workings, we follow the South West Coast Path to Porthtowan.
With stunning views and perfect weather this walk will make you smile!
These walks are designed for exercising from home or relaxing. We intentionally stay quiet so that you can enjoy the sounds of nature as if you were doing this yourself. We have added a few titbits of information along the way. A fully immersive experience!
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on RU-vid, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!
Frequently asked questions:
What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII
How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.
Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
What is your dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

Thank you Sarah & Andrew for another fabulous walk. The perfect anti-dote for a dull, wet and windy February day. I thought the pale blue colour of the sea was most striking. I’m now looking forward to your next virtual walk.

Fabulous, I walked every step with you, I need a cuppa now, then I may do it all again :-) thanks both, there is no better prescription for lifting the spirits.

Absolutely beautiful!...balm for the soul. Thanks for tackling all those rocky pathways & climbs. So enjoyed the sudden drama of the wonderful panoramas taking in ocean, valleys & coves...the perfect antidote to London lockdown. Especially loved the way doggie was in 'leader of the pack' mode this time!

@carolehooton8068 3 года назад

Loved this. You are so good at these virtual walks and what a nice surprise. Views to die for and the sea so blue. Just something really special about Cornwall. Your dog is so good how he walks in front and keeps stopping to make sure you are there bless him and doesn't run off. A nice idea to have him walk in front makes it really special and he does love to dig the beaches up !! I like the new little touches like the text on screen giving you information.. When you get old, think of all the lovely memories you will have!!! Thanks for sharing. xx

@CornishWalkingTrails 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the text, we are trying to find our style with the virtual walks. We realise that they are not for everyone but good for exercise at the moment, Sarah :)

Hi Sarah and Andrew, very much enjoyed watching on this dreary and dark afternoon. I think this is one of your best ever coastline videos with spectacular long shots of that beautiful turquoise sea where it meets the land. Very clear and very colourful. I loved it. Sometimes on the non commentary walks, like today, I turn the sound down, (not totally as I need to hear the sea!) and put some background music on, usually classical or some quiet guitar. So relaxing. Thank you 🙏

@CornishWalkingTrails 3 года назад

Our pleasure! And the music sounds like a really good idea, we did wonder if people would use the videos that way, Sarah :)

@lionelmarytravels6003 3 года назад

Just finished watching, using the TV. Now I have turn the iPad on to leave comments. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed this virtual walk, expertly lead by your lovely dog. Can he read the footpath signs? He always managed to select the correct direction. We were never as keen on your virtual walks, as we prefer the banter between the two of you. But having the brown dog leading the way, it gives a point of interest. This was by far the best one you have done and it was good to see Andrew keeping to the 2 metre rule when meeting other walkers.. Are there any beaches in Cornwall that your dear doggy hasn’t excavated. He’s an incredible digger. Yes. That was great entertainment.

@CornishWalkingTrails 3 года назад

Many thanks for your comment, we are trying to find our own style with these walks. It is an acquired taste I think but they are very good for our channel as they are watched regularly for exercise, whereas the vlogs tend to die quite quickly. The RU-vid algorithm likes the retention and therefore promotes our channel, helping it to grow. Our little dog adores sandy beaches, not so keen on pebbly ones, Sarah :)

Thank you for this wonderful video 🥰 You have very well caught the hypnotising colours and the wild coastline full of history. I remember walking there in August 2018. And I wondered about the barren rocky area. I didn't know then that it was because of the asenic residue from mining. Great to know. Once I feel comfortable to go to the gym again I will watch this video while using the threadmill ❤👍 Torunn 😊

@CornishWalkingTrails 3 года назад

Hopefully it will not be long now before we have a semblance of normality. And I heard an historian comment this week that the roaring 20s followed the Spanish flu and WWI, implying that everyone had a party after the pandemic was over, so "Cheers!" Sarah :)

Such a beautiful walk and such a beautiful day! I absolutely love Chapel Coombe and the beach at Chapel Porth. Did you go back the same way or continue up the valley, scene of the famous "bum in river" incident? Have you ever tried the ice cream "hedgehogs" at Chapel Porth cafe?

@CornishWalkingTrails 3 года назад

We returned by East Cliff, steep and sharp but more direct! Never had a hedgehog ice cream from Chapel Porth, somewhere we tend to give a wide berth in the summer, but their hot chocolates are really good for a winter walk! Sarah :)

@sandyschab8285 3 года назад

What were the people hunting for in the rocks on the beach? I love Cornwall, have been there several times and hope to return again at some point. In the meantime your tours are almost as good as being there in person. Thanks!

Quick! Stake out your lithium claim before it's too late! On a more practical note perhaps, I thought you recorded quite a lot of bird song. Can you identify birds from their song? I wish I could.
