The 'thatched' village! A walk from Cadgwith, Cornwall to Poltesco Serpentine Works
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2021
- Our walk starts in the fishing village of Cadgwith. After an explore around the village we pick up the South West Coast path towards Poltesco to discover a derelict serpentine works.
In the Victorian era, serpentine became very popular when Queen Victoria installed a serpentine fireplace in Osbourne House on the Isle of Wight. Once a thriving factory, all that is left is the footprint of the buildings and the warehouse, now in the ownership of the National Trust.
We head inland towards Ruan Minor where Andrew tells a Thespian tale connected with the funding of the church organ. Using quiet roads and footpaths we pick up the South West Coast Path once again to return to Cadgwith passing the Devil's Frying pan along the way.
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on TH-cam, 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.

Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

Lovely area being peace and quiet. Pub looking great all lit up....
'Both go mining' 'Dark down here'.... I nearly spat my tea out !
Thanks for the enjoyable video. "Challenge Anneka" reference made me chuckle...blast from the past!
I used to turn serpentine at hendys gift shop as a kid n knew nothing about the history you share here. Top notch
Beautiful! Love my home!
Beautiful sunny day, perfect for a lovely walk! ❤️
What a fabulous walk and a fabulous start to my day.
Thank you both once again
What would we do without you to brighten up our day.
Xx
You are so kind, Sarah :)
You guys crack me up!
It's amazing to me, just how beautiful Cornwall is. I would not have known if you did not post these videos. It has found itself fairly high on my bucket list and i think i would retire there if i could.
Thanks!
We are lucky to live in a beautiful place! Sarah :)
Love
love it
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely. The evening section was so calming. Sorry Andrew, I think that one was worthy of a "10" Thank you both ❤️
LOL! Yes, it was a superb evening! Sarah :)
I've just realised I get a dull ache either side of my face after i watch your videos ! ,,,,,,It's cause I smile all the way through them ! They are a breath of fresh air 👍🥟
PS , 40 yrs this year since the Penlee disaster so I will be heading down to the old lifeboat station to pay my respects next month
I remember that night, tragic. Sarah :)
Absolutely beautiful.
awesome as always,,, didnt look that dark for that time of the night,,, keep it up,, love ur walking trails oxoxoxoxo love from Australia
Glad you enjoyed it, I think the cameras may have compensated a little, it seemed quite dark to me!! Sarah :)
Memories! Could not see the little stream running across the beach to the sea,wondering if it has disappeared under the shale,rocks etc.Remember when the fishermen gutted & washed fish in that little stream.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Christine Duke.
Such a lovely video. Me and my family are staying near to Cadgwith so will definitely do that walk. Little church looks like it was from little house of the prarie!
I've only seen 1/3 of the video that's fantastic, the reed roofs are great, we love houses like this. Andrew this is a great idea to test the seating. stay healthy Greetings Günter
Actually one of my favourite videos so far, definitely going to do this on our adventure to Cornwall in a few weeks. The story about the actress was interesting too and I'll tell my husband that during the walk haha! Such a beautiful part of the world. Love all the hidden gems on this walk and the beautiful views! Great videos keep up the good work👌🏻😘
Enjoy ...l used to travel 360+ miles several times a year to visit Cornwall
But thank goodness wE moved here in 1999 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's 360+ miles each way SO GLAD WE LIVE HERE NOW....❤❤🤣
Yeah we're in the peak district so in another beautiful part of the world. But there's something nice about being by the sea 👍🏻🌊
Beautiful walk, love the history 😀, thank you for a great tour 🚶🚶🚶
Thanks for watching, Sarah :)
What a lovely walk! This one had a really mellow vibe - loved it! One of my favourites so far. :)
Cheers! The evening light on this one was inspiring, the soft pinky tones and warmth from the setting sun - I loved it! Sarah :)
I live in Cornwall I'm always fascinated by the unusual things you come across,I immediately go online and see if I can find out anything .. We stayed in a cottage by the devil's frying pan,we laugh about it now ,we got ready for a long hike to find it ,there was a little gate in the garden we went through it and ta daaa there was the devil's frying pan ..so we went to the pub ☺
Love it! All dressed up and there it was! Sarah :)
What a lovely walk a lovely 😊 Ona beautiful day enjoyed this video
Yes it was, thank you! Sarah :)
This is so beautiful ,,,, so peaceful . 👍 nicely presented Thankyou 🤗

Thanks for sharing that gorgeous walk...my mum & all her family were born in Cadgwith.. going back generations..there is a plaque on the door of the little chaple dedicated to the family..
Thanks againxx
What a great, natural couple. So many inspiring walks capturing the feel of all the places you visit. Excellent filming and so informative too. Well done 🧡🌴
Thank you so much! Sarah :)
A lovely walk to a beautiful part of Cornwall and a place I have never seen. What a charming area with so much history attached. Thanks for posting.
Lovely Video... 😍🤺
Also,
Your question.
Does anyone know about spiders🕸️🕷️🕸️. In a thatched roof.?
Answer : Rare 😜🤺
In the house... Millions 😁
Just from my own experience of thatching some of the cottages in Gadgwith.. 😀🤺
Keen the videos coming.. U2.. FAB /FUN😍
There is a Tin Tabernacle Church like that at North Skelton near Whitby Yorkshire .
Thank you for a lovely video! Really look forward to your updates every week. Always cheers me up! It's nice to see that the day is long in the UK and you have light all the way up to 9pm.
Late evenings are a joy of the summer! In November, its dark before 5:00pm! Sarah :)
Gorgeous walk. Thank you for taking us on it.
Our pleasure! Sarah :)
Very nice video, thanks for sharing my friend 🤝🇺🇸
Looks lovely there. I don’t think I’ve ever been there. It’s definitely on my list now though and it’s not far from where I live. Thank ps for sharing 😊
You should! and I hope you have a great time, Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails the is Sarah 😊
Another lovely Cornish walk!
Beautiful ❤
I really enjoyed this walk. Beautiful beaches and information about this area. Question: Sometimes when you stop to talk, we can hear doggie making whining sounds. Is he wanting to get on with the walk? Maybe he wants to get to the beach and dig!? Thanks for an interesting walk.
Being a late walk, he was very exuberant, couldn't wait to get down on the beach but the bathing beach had a dog ban and the fishing cove probably wasn't the best place to let him roam so he was just complaining a little at being held back! Sarah :)
Awesome video. I'm doing this section of the coastal path next week as part of the SWCP. Thanks for posting! :-)
Lovely walk. Serpentine lovely. I have a Lizardrite pendant from down there. Wish I could get there again.
We have a little polished serpentine tea light holder - exquisite! Sarah :)
Such a lovely journey with you !!
Took the words right out of my mouth! ''I love a Holy Well'' said Andrew, and so do I! So much so I think I've visited quite a lot of them in Cornwall and elsewhere over the years....but funnily enough, not this one!(Madron is a favourite). Nice to have a little stone bench to sit on quietly contemplating. Some of the wells are tucked away in the depths of the countryside down there.
Often with little mementos left and ribbons hung from the trees. The Lizard is such a lovely area to meander & explore. And I agree Sarah that the evening stillness with pink edged skies is such a peaceful time of day. Seems like the world stops still for a moment. Off to IOW actually tomorrow, so will look out for the Serpentine at Osborne House when we go...although by the look of the weather forecast it won't be pink edged skies, more like black thunder clouds! Hey ho....x J x
At the well, there was a tub of tea lights. We didn't have time to film it properly but I guess you can leave a little token for a loved one that way, Sarah :)
great that you have given time team a plug ,, its coming back . tim is the original director and is looking for subs on youtube .
Thanks for the info, Sarah :)
Thanks for allowing me to walk with you
Thanks for coming! Sarah :)
Helena Mo-drze-je-wska, I had no clue and was in Ruan Manor so many times!))
I think 🤔 Thatched roofs always look very pretty like looking at a Painted Picture 🖼 ❤️
Lovely walk! One of my favourite villages in Cornwall 🥰🥰
Mine too! So pretty! Sarah :)
My bucket list for September is to have lunch in the pub there 🥰
You make Cornwall look like a very sunny country but I guess you mostly film when it is nice outside. :) It does not look like a great beach to walk barefoot on, but I would love to sit and watch the water.
Hi Carola! You are right! We protect our filming equipment for the most part and prefer to film in the better weather. Our cameras are getting older and we know that we will need to replace them soon - ouch! Having said that, we have had a long dry spell, about 4 weeks, but it it now back to our usually sunshine and showers! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails You are lucky re. weather as we have had quite a lot of rain in the south-east of late.
Best crab sandwich ever at fishermans hut in Cadwith
This village is so pretty! Thank you for a lovely video and for showing all the special and interesting sights along the way! :-) Have pinpointed a few on Google Maps for later use ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it, I thought you may watch with interest! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails I really did! :-) Torunn.
yep huge spiders , they love living in the thatch and its just a short drop down into your bedroom window
So you have to be a spider lover then?!? Sarah :)
🤯Noooo Way!!!
Lovely and interesting walk as always, the Lizard is the part of Cornwall I know least, I must explore it more. I meant to ask, about the Boscastle walk, I noticed that old leaflet mentioned a Rocky Valley walk. Does it mention the ruined mill (or was it still working then?) and does it mention the carved mazes in the rock?
Sarah. Your mining joke tops the lot..
Q> the grate or great exhibition?
Cheers! Sarah :)
Nice walk for an evening, but no sandy beach for your dog to dig.
No. No excessive spiders! 😅
Where have you found the info about the Polish actress, Helena Modrzejewska, pls. I try to find sth. Thank you!
GET JETHRO THE COMEDIAN TO HAVE A WALK WITH YOU
Stop watching an unsubscribed with the second stupid joke. First joke was just stupid second joke was a bit creepy.
Lovely
