Thanks Thad! It certainly felt that way there. I think many cottages are empty because owners rent them out for holiday seasons or use them as holiday homes. It's happening all over the coastal part of England
@@mikebogatyrev3058 older houses like these cottages have hidden advantages that newer homes lack, such as thick sturdy walls, higher insulation and built to last for ages, all along with the sheer elegance of their beauty
Have lived hear all my life 75yrs I thought i knew everything about it, But you have brought a new approach to it, and shown me I never knew how beautiful it really is, You have even shown the cottage I was born in, which was 5 howells cottages, Keep up the great work you are doing, and Thank you.
Very nice video, Mike. The weather was perfect and so was the music. Although we live back in Bude now we did live in Stratton for five years. Surprised you missed the historic (original elements date back to the 13th century) Tree Inn where a Parliamentary Army surrendered to the outnumbered local Loyalist army. This was following the Parliamentarians defeat at the 1643 battle at Stamford Hill a short distance from here. The 'troops' taking part in the annual re-enactment used to march past our window every May. Stratton was an important market town long before Bude existed, but has gradually faded in to the background commercially.
I watched this video with my girlfriend on the large 4K screen when I came to visit her recently - we really liked the immersive experience. The whole architecture of the village is very much what you would see in the Greater Manchester region, the stone brick cottages and even the church at 4:09 is a doppelgänger to the one I saw 2 days ago when I was on my way to the train station for my return back to Reading. The only difference is that Stratton is much sunnier annually plus warmer Keep up the great work - the Cornwall journey has been really amazing on your channel
Not one thing out of place. The entire town looks like a museum. Surreal!

Very beautiful place!!
Thank you! It certainly felt that way when we were there!
Excellent film of Stratton, but I am surprised it didn't include any shots of the historic 13th Century 'Tree Inn' Public House!
👍👍👍💓
Another great video, have you been to the fine city that is Norwich? Highly recommended! Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I will definitely look into visiting Norwich too!
Nice production

Thank you Victor! I am so touched by your words!
Your videos keep getting better and better!
Thank you for you kind feedback! We are using gimbal a lot now and it feels like it almost adds breathing to the videos

Wow! Thank you for sharing! The reenactment must look amazing in the setting of this town!
My pleasure. Sadly, the pandemic has put a stop to The Sealed Knot's re-enactments, but hopefully it will be back on next year.🤞
@@PaddyStubbs70 let’s hope it will get back to normal soon!

Mike and Vera, thank you! So picturesque! We are impressed how people care about and look after the place where they live.
Thank you! It really is very impressive! It felt like we walked into medieval fairytale
This makes me miss the UK so much. I love little towns like this, so quaint. Thanks for sharing, I've subscribed to see more!
Thank you! I am so glad that you enjoyed this piece! I will be making more videos around the county: cities and various sites too
