'A golden hiding place!' A circular walk from Grampound to Golden and Trewithen, Cornwall
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ก.ค. 2022
- In our video we start in the village of Grampound and follow country lanes to Creed church to find an interesting story about a former vicar of the parish. From there we head towards Golden. A remote and secluded area of Cornwall, rich in history, and where the first Seminary Priest, Cuthbert Mayne, was found, and captured for practicing the catholic mass in Elizabeth 1's reign.
We conclude with a stroll through the nearby Trewithen Estate and follow a roman road back to Grampound! This circular walk is approximately 5.5 miles.
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!

Lost for words. All I can say is BRILLIANT!!!!!!
Wow! Thank you so much! Sarah :)
I knew Dr. Billy Stewart who practiced at Grampound & Grampound Rd. As well as GP, he was a gynaecologist.
I could tell loads of stories, but that would be hijacking your presentations. I simply love them with you telling the stories.
Your home made walks are so interesting and makes us so much over our breakfast , thanks guys,,,,,,,,Brian&Jane
Sounds like a good way to start the day! Sarah :)
Another beautiful walk, thank you! …Goldie Horn 😂😂😂😂
Our pleasure! Sarah :)
A Golden Hidden Gem 💎 in Cornwall packed full of history, how marvellous 🤩 with a beautiful church! church doors never open quietly do they! Andrew was in his elements with the ‘Golden Oldie’ jokes….but no hidden Dolphin 🐬 sadly…..Trewithen Gardens were stunning, and little four paws 🐾 🐾 appreciated his walk as always, this fabulous village and surrounding area had a lot of heavy machinery etc., so not so peaceful as one would expect! after seeing your tempting looking Cornish food my pathetic piece of toast went into the bin 🥴 hope you can keep cool with the mini heat wave, not so easy inland with temp. expecting to reach 40deg. Monday the day I have a new boiler fitted 🥵 thanks 🙏 Guy’s see you next time🥰
Ahhh! Nothing wrong with toast! Although the cakes were excellent! Sarah :)
Loved this walk with the tractors, cows and pubs! Great to see the Detroit Tigers hat still around! I have Andrew a new one I need to send over! Danny & Mark xx
oh wow! He would love that! Sarah :)
That was totally enjoyable watching. Walking with the ghosts of so much history. Very beautiful 🤩 Thanks for sharing!
We love your walking trails. Brilliant watching all of the videos. When you visited Grampound, you didn't walk the nature reserve or mention the old Tannery which was owned by the Croggin family. Creed House is near the sweet church you featured.
Keep up these super videos. They are great❤️😍 Golden Days before they end.' Roy Orbison song..
A really nice walk with lots of interesting facts. Looked absolutely lovely. Good to hear that the food at the cafe was gluten free. Always find it difficult to find somewhere that we can confidently eat without fear of adverse reactions.
Hi Sarah and Andrew… there is so much history in Cornwall … churches seem to have many stories 🌼 quaint little town 🎈thank you for sharing … lovely to see your puppy 🐶… greetings Ana 🌹
Thank you Ana! Sarah :)
Pity Andrew didn’t see a deer, that could have been the golden hind. Another great video, keep them coming.
LOL! Thanks 👍 Sarah :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You have got my day off to a wonderful start by bringing back so many happy memories. Such as coming out of Creed church and seeing snow for the first time. The first and last time I was in the Dolphin pub and got kicked out as I was six years old. The remains of the cross outside Grampound Church where we school kids would gather and talk to the trusted German prisoners who also gathered there after working on farms until we were told that we were not to as they were the enemy.
Thank you again for what for me was your most beautiful walk yet.
What a lovely comment! Thank you, Sarah :)
Awesome walk through the History.
Beautiful Village Marvelous Garden well explored and explained.
All the Best Wishes for Your next Video 👍
Another wonderful walk tour, I was driving through Grampound on a visit to the area recently & had no idea of all the history!
We were the same, just knew a little bit but it is certainly an interesting village, Sarah :)
Thanks , lovely walk.
Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah :)
Wot? No Dolphins??!! (Apart from the carved ones outside the pub!). Goodness, the tractors around there are HUGE! They were all out in force that day for sure. We have quite a lot to-ing and fro-ing here too, but the Cornish tractors are like Giants! Different sort of video today with the history of Grampound. I like your home made walks. Interesting history once again of somewhere I have not been in Cornwall. The swallows set up nesting in the same place every year at our local animal sanctuary so was nice to see them nesting in the church, where they probably do the same each year too. All I could think of to add to the Golden theme was Golden Shred..... Not much use unless you've got toast to go with it :-)) x J x
Hi Judy, Thanks for your lovely comment! I remember my grandad used to have grapefruit Golden Shred marmalade! Sarah :)
We thought of Roy Orbison singing'Golden Days before they end..'
Beautiful village. The baskets with flowers are so pretty. I love how the Cornish people keep the historical articles on past leaders visible in their churches. Your walk is so peaceful today. Thanks again for introducing another fascinating place in your country. 👟🐕🌞🍓
You're welcome! Sarah :)
Only driven through Grampound like most of us but what a beautiful place!
So true! Sarah :)

Beautiful scenery and interesting history! Appreciate the extra research. My guess is the 7-sided cross/pillar had to do with the days of the week. Commerce was such a part of Cornwall's history; I love learning about it. The progression of mills is fascinating; though I'm familiar with 19th Century industrialization (Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell stories, etc.) I didn't realize they went back so far. My paternal grandfather's ancestors were several generations in Nottingham, known for it's lace and fabric manufacturing, and trade with the Netherlands. We visited the Market Square on our trip many years ago, and I have since found my Great-Grandmother's older sister, 16 years old, listed as a 'lace mender' in the 1888 Census. I'm on board for more garden footage!! I love foxgloves. :)
Oh, how interesting to read your comment! My father's ancestors were all lace makers in Nottingham too going back a LONG way! Have done a history of the family and managed to visit some of their gravesites in Nottingham some years ago in one of the iconic graveyards there. Someone has done a lot of research into my family surname luckily on the net so I was able to trace back quite a way, although I have done some research myself. Used to visit my grandmother in Wollaton when I was a tiny girl!
@@judybee Perhaps our 'folks' rubbed elbows in line at the bakery or sat next to each other in church! Grandfather's Mother's side we've traced there as far back as 1840; her father owned a Pub, and the story goes he stored his beer and wine casks in a cave underneath. My English cousin (I'm in CA) says sadly the building is gone. Great-Gran married an accountant, who worked in Nottingham City gov't. Their sons were a WWI aircraft mechanic, a furniture maker, and an artist, and their daughter an office manager for a solicitor's firm. Great Aunt M was 90 when I met her, living in maiden ladies' housing behind Wollaton Hall. We went to her favorite restaurant, "The Farm". I have a photo of me with one of the stone lions in front of the town hall. The nicest people follow Sarah and Andrew! :)
@@SpanishEclectic Isn't it fun finding out about your long lost relatives?! I've discovered all sorts since I started to investigate both sides of my family. For years I sat in a quiet area by the River Thames & always, curiously, felt quite at home there. Imagine my surprise to find that I had family who owned a brewery there in the early 1800's! Long gone, but you can still see the site where they were, all made into flats now with some remnants kept of the past buildings. It was my father's side of the family who worked in the Lace Industry in Nottingham. I've followed Sarah & Andrew's vids for a very long time now. Cornwall is one of my favourite places in the UK. Hopefully going back in October this year. Nice to hear from you & thanks for the interesting info on your ancestors! x J x
Hi Sarah and Andrew. I found your walk today very peaceful and relaxing. I love the history of the priest and village. I never knew Granpan village existed must put it on my bucket list to visit next time I'm down your way.
Our pleasure! And Grampound is a wonderful place! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah and Andrew, Thank you that was a lovely video today. Peaceful and interesting, apart from the noisy tractors every now and again. In the fifties when we travelled down by steam train to Penzance, I remember the train always stopped at Grampound Road. I think the station closed in 1964 but since you never mentioned it, I doubt any evidence of it still exists. Thanks again. 💕
Yes, Grampound Road station is no more! Although a village is still there, Sarah :)
Nice video. Are you aware? Next Tuesday, July 19, Launceston is welcoming the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall to a special Royal Market in the town square. Thought you might like to know this. Cheers.
That sounds very interesting! Sarah :)
Excellent video. Sounds like Cuthbert was the tudor version of "canoe man" John Darwin, hiding in plain site.
Oh yes! Sarah :)
Like the hat……Detroit Tigers???
Just a thought about the name of the pub . If Grampound has roman connections, were dolphins not revered in roman mythology? Lovely and peaceful walk (at times) , although I'm sure one of those tractors were following you around.
Ooo! Now that sounds interesting! We will have to do some research, Sarah :)
Is Andrew wearing mascara in this one?
Nooo!?!? I think he only wears makeup on stage!! Proper stage that is!! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Ha ha thanks Sarah.
Launceston is pronounced Lanson; you should hand in you pasty license.
Actually we asked two lovely ladies, pensioners and local to the town, when we filmed our Launceston video and they answered that if you live in the town, you may well call it Lanson, but most call it Launceston. Either is acceptable. Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails When I was a boy, I'm over 70, everybody called it Lanson or Launson. The first time I heard it called Launceston was on an early TV report in the 60's. My dad he was born in the area 'bleddy fools can't even get the name right'.
