Porthtowan = Port of the Dunes. Tywarnhayle = House on the Estuary. The landscape comes alive when you know what the names mean!

Hi Fred. Bit different this time, thanks. The Barbican, the best place to be in Plymouth. In our car, eating fish and chips, lol! Cheers.

Saw the remains of the village in the 1964 film The System and it made me want to know more about it.

This is a prime example of how not to do a video. Waving the camera about is not the way to do a video, especially in dark tunnels. Read how to make videos before posting this sort of stuff!

You know what I'm fed up with it waste of money wasted time causing more chaos for travellers ie motors deliveries and so forth you might as well put it back where it was just make it a little wider and that's it I tell you something I would not watch these ever again so please remove it now or do I have to file a complaint no further comment

Hi Fred. Been past here loads of times and always wondered about the workings of the quarry. Thousands of Tons (English spelling!!) of waste granite rock, haha. Thanks.

Sadly it shows Plymouths unkept and desolate side hidden in plain sight....but is it better or even worse today? I moved to Canada in 1976 and my last visits back were depressing to see the lack of civic pride.

There are pictures of mine on here of Devonport Kings Road, obviously pirated so please remove them, Bernard Mills

how different that route is now, especially from Carluddon onwards

great video. I've always wanted to see that pit - you cant see anything from the road as the berm does a great job of hiding it from view

really interesting to see my daily commute from an aerial perspective. well done

Excellent video and great to see the spillway in action! Keep up the good work with your videos, always interesting, even for us 'locals'!!

Like the video, hate the music....

To much aerial footage

Is certainly been rough mate

Very interesting Fred, but I had to go to the bathroom for a pee three times, watching all that cascading water, lol! Thanks.`

yo i go here w my friends sometimes

What a waste of what looks like a good building... what were their reasons for moving out of it... couldn't do their shopping in their dinner hour

Parts of this video was interesting but alot of it was annoyingly rubbish... did you actually watch this video before uploading it to youtube? You could have left some of the subtitles on a little longer so we don't have to pause to read it and some of the subtitles were hard to read as they blended into the background picture and couldn't see alot of what happened in the tunnels as it was too dark.

Hi Fred. My family lived here during the war, and my three brothers went to the local school. Early 50's. myelder brother and I used to roam around Farmer Worden't fields, during the Rabbit Mixy outbreak. I'll never forget the hundreds of carcases and poorly bunnies. Farm was off Rose Hill, now South West Water, and mainly covered by housing now. Thanks.

Is this right? A UK infrastructure project being completed?

Hi Fred. Nice update, thanks, but looks a bit damp! I guess the work is a little behind schedule. Take care.

nice update :) one recommendation is to render to 1080p as the 360p lets down the quality. but a welcome update thankyou.

What a metro tram system Plymouth could have if they kept all these lines in the city

👍👍👍

Hi Fred. Fascinating video. I've known of the Pits at Lee Moor, but never actually known what the area looked like. Take care.

Finally found the range yesterday! It's very overgrown.

Great video. I worked in Chilmark Stone mine for 2 years. It’s where the rail line leads to if you follow it across the road and down the hill.

Nice shot of the up Brighton on Ford viaduct. Fond memories of seeing the ol West Country’s running around Friary, Laira & North Rd 62-64. Southern lines were lifted around 1966, after closure.

As a gay black man I love Stenalees ❤

Noooooooooooooooo Its oy in that last two weeks or so that thay have actually d9ne any work for months it has sat while thay made the odd appearance this roundabout has become a joke the only reason thay have had to redo some of the work is cos the messed it up the first time sirously who cant read a set of plans showing where things need to go its not hard

Was that a near miss at 3.37??

Have you been to Nos Mayo , Newton Ferris . It back from start point nearer to Plymouth. Hidden gem ,when tide out hidden bridge called Vos disapears when tide comes in .

Used to use this many times whilst on the Night Traffic Car as a very quick way to get from St Blazey to Fowey - always fun on a shout winging through it

Now at the age of 69 years as a teenager I use to walking. The abandoned railway tunnels in devonport and stone House creek , the line from Albert road station used to run along the bottom of what's known as brick fields out to the port at mutton cove to meet up with Atlantic going steamers from the USA. That station closed in 1912 , the old site at mutton cove. I used to fish but now it is a multi-million pound yacht. Marina overlooking the entrance to the river Tamar. It brings fit memories It's nice to see that someone else is still interested in the old steam railway tunnels of Plymouth which still echo the sound of steam locomotives in their Hay Day .🇬🇧👍🏼

My literal childhood playground.

I do recall walking along the front of those cottages in 1982, there was one elderly lady still living there . Most fascinating lady to talk to. Her cottage still standing , with blue doors.

Sorry but I gave up watching g after 14 minutes of camera pointing all over the place zoomed in so you couldn’t see the context of anything and when the other guy is pointing something out, the camera is pointing at tree branches… sorry it’s like someone accidently turned the camera on and forgot it was running.

Sorry to be critical but the camera spends more time pointing at the ground, zoomed in, and about 10% of the time shooting anything of interest … sorry just saying

PlyMuff

U can tell thay dont give a crap about the locals or the environment

❤ Wow what a great location to film and fly the drone. Well done and thanks for sharing 😊

Great video! Liked and subscribed 😃

Great video Fred, really enjoyed that one.

Local to me and a unique mine. Great video mate

Another stunning video and history. Thanks Fred. OK. to use a freeze frame screen shot as a screen saver? Only polite to ask. Cheers.

Anywhere in the world that there is a hole in the ground there will be a Cornishman at the bottom. 🤎

Where's the "garden" in this "garden village". I know it's marketing tripe, but really it's just endless tiny concrete boxes squeezed together, with barely an inch of green anywhere. Not fooling anybody. Might as well call it a "tropical beachfront paradise village," which would be equally true.

Little boxes, little boxes. Little boxes made of ticky tacky.

When I first saw this village being built I wondered why anyone would want a house here. 'Lakeside'?? Very deep and dangerous open clay pits. I wonder how long before someone drowns here? Looks like a batch of Lego Houses, just scattered on a barren waste land, which, of course, it is! Cornwall Council Planners obviously never visited the site as often as they ought to have done. Although the houses are built on concrete rafts, that won't stop the ground underneath from moving. Watch out for the 'settlement cracks'! Thanks for the update. Geoff
