The LOST CORNWALL you didn't know about!

- Cornwall is full of hidden gems and our latest visit provided us with an early Spring back drop to enjoy one of our favourite locations.
After a stormy overnight stop in the campervan in Newquay, overlooking Crantock Beach we made a home base on a friends driveway Nr Truro to continue our exploration for several more exciting days.
Kennall Vale Nature Preserve offers an exceptionally beautiful woodland laced with numerous, characterful and abandoned former gunpowder factory and mill buildings, waterfalls and rivers...Reputed to be one of the MOST HAUNTED locations in Cornwall.
Porthtowan made for a great evening with a sunset fire on the beach and with a broken height barrier, we managed to get the van on the beach with us.
We found the Lost Gardens of Heligan to be a brilliant surprise with so much more to see and do than we expected.
Of course, another beach stop and ice cream was needed before leaving and Perranporth didn't disappoint with it's huge sandy beach, rock faces and a great local High Street shopping experience.

I’ve come to you’re latest video comments for one reason only…because I watch your videos, my wife (of 14 years today!) and I have just eaten our 1st ever Lidls brownie! (We’ve just had a weekend away, and we’re renting a camper tomorrow, so it’s a quiet one tonight 😂) and I can’t stop saying how amazing it was and my wife actually dribbled a little bit on her plate!!!!😂😂😂😂 Any future food recommendations will be treated with the utmost respect!!!! 😂😂😂 Keep the vids coming!👍👍👍
Oh mate, Happy Anniversary to you two and WOW, what a way to celebrate…Brownies & Campers! You sir, are a legend & you’ve made me giggle with the dribble 🤣
Have fun out there on the road 🥰🙌
Just watched all your videos in the space of 2 days, really enjoyed them, hope to see more soon

Great video guys, gotta love Cornwall. Next time you go, go to Holywell Beach and see the Holy Well in the cave when the tide is out at the far end. Its a very spiritual experience. Give it a Google. All the best, Neil!
Top tip Neil mate. We did visit Holywell Bay last year but didn’t see the cave. We will be back! 🫶🙌
Top vid guys! Great fun! Happy birthday for Sunday Linds!××
Thank you lovely 🥰
Cornwall is great (Being a Cornishman), but like a lot of Cornish people, finding employment means you leave the County once school/college finishes. Due to the immigration of wealthy City Brits into the County, bying affordable property to live with employment to sustain living is almost impossible, when wishing to move back home. It means you become a permanent migration statistic residing out of the County. The only time to visit Cornwall, is out of tourist season, as the season is a double edge sword. Helps fund employment and living for a few of the remaining true Cornish as well as all the new settlers over the past 50+ years, but it has destroyed the tranquility and cleanliness of the County. I come from a family with 500 years traceable history in Cornwall, yet i can't afford to live in the County. All my family 40 years ago were living in fishing villages on the North Coast, now they all live in the centre of Cornwall by the disused China clay-pits, with not a single fish, fished anymore by the family, as the immigration and economy has forced them from the coast and into other poorly paid work. This is the untold reality of the real Cornish families. Great that ALL people get to experience Cornwall, as they should, but the immigration and second home ownership of the City wealth expansion in to the County and the deluge of tourism, means Cornwall, the land of smugglers has been silently smuggled away from the true Cornish. Guess that's life!😭
We hear what you’re saying…Oooh, don’t get us started on the politics of gentrification. We feel for you and the millions from so many beautiful spots❤️🩹
Such a sad piece of truth ... I'm one of those who moved to this beautiful county 15 years ago now, I'm not by any means what one would call "gentrified" ... We don't own our own home and my husband works in a supermarket and I work in a preschool,so not what you'd call well off by any means.We moved down here to be with family as we wanted to give our daughter a safer upbringing , but the reality for you also resonated with me cos I'm a Londoner and we definitely can't afford to move back...not that we
Sorry...cut myself off there...not that we want to anyway !!! Am proud to call this beautiful county home and we both work very hard to keep a roof over our heads and ironically our daughter is now back in London at uni not 10 mins from where we moved her away from !!!! 🤷🤗
So glad you found the lost garden while you was there, and the old gunpowder mills are a crazy site too (saw them recently on Freddie Dobbs channel. Most of all Perranporth, went there as a young teenager with a mate and his parents, it is great and the beach is awesome, even though you need to be careful of the missing bottom of the sea and the tide can cut you off.
Thanks peeps
Cheers fella. Oh mate, some of the tides are insanely brutal at times. I’ve been swept off a rock myself and fortunately only lost my glasses and a bit of dignity 🤭
Great video as always guys! She’s so lucky! You’re always looking after and spoiling her! 🤣 definitely need to get to Cornwall, we’ve been all over but never made it to Cornwall! 😮
Cheers Dale mate, yeah, you guys MUST get down there for sure!
Awesome video guys, Can't wait to head back to Cornwall soon 👍🏼👍🏼🥰
Thank you & see ya there! 🫶🥰
I’m the fella you met in Sainsbury’s in Harlow Darren … good to see you both back and blue happy travels 🙏🏻

Great videos,just stumbled across you guys and your great so relatable can’t wait for more footage of Cornwall we have a big place in our heart for that place .
Cheers Darren, great to have you onboard mate! There’s plenty more of Cornwall coming, we love it there too 🫶🙌
What a wonderful adventure! I've only been to Cornwall once, we stayed in Hayle near St Ives and it was stunning!!! I can't believe I have to admit that at that point in time........I had never tried a cornish pasty. Not once. I'm glad to report that this has since changed lol oh they're good eh?!!!!
Thank you for showing us such beautiful woodland and heritage, the beautiful beaches, and just how much adventure is out there to find.
Wonderful viewing, thank you ❤
Ahh, so glad you enjoyed it!
Hayle & St Ives are FAB, as are the pasty’s…🫶

Cheers Darren, yeah, just checked it out…Looks right up my street! Very much like the Spring Classic Festival in Devon. Love it! 👊🏼
How do guys. You brought back happy memories of Cornwall which I used to love but hated the long drive from Bolton. Loving that vintage emporium and its deffo "you" Things have changed in Cornwall regardng overnight camping I believe, though. back fifteen years ago we could even park in our big motorhome.Sadly not the case now. gotta say WOW at Kennal Vale. I'd just love to take my camera gear there for a day. Its an epic looking landscape photography location. One for my bimble list if I ever make it back down to Cornwall. Thanks for showing it and great drone fly through too! and..... you showed the spiritual side of the place too. a glorious video which I really loved. Thank you🙏 Bessy regs-Kenny
Thanks Kenny. Oh, mate, you’re so right, you’d love Kennal Vale as a photographer! It’s so wild & natural, slowly swallowing back up the old buildings 🫶
We will be there in 6 weeks can’t wait. Summer at Heligan in the wild flower meadow is magical. Take care both x
Thanks Dave. Have fun mate! 🙌
Great video, as always 😍
Thank you lovely 🥰
Great to see you again. Back in my favourite place too. Took my daughter to the vintage warehouse in the summer. It was so hot that day. She was happy, got nice leather biker jacket. Also Crantock too, was boiling that day as well. Was packed out, we we're on the other side, was so busy we had to park about 2 miles out. Walking back in the heat was nuts. Great pub in Perranporth, had some great beach days there too. Beach is huge when the tide is out. Hopefully get down a couple of times this year. Keep up the good work. 🤘
Thanks Lee mate. You know what? We’ve never yet ventured down on the Crantock side! There’s SO much more for us to experience in Cornwall this Summer and we’ll definitely be doing that! 🥰🙌
@@OurVanTales Looe and Polperro are definitely worth a visit.
Happy birthday for the 5th !!

Hello Andy and Lyndsey and lil bleu. Great video peeps and what a lovely few places you visited.
Lyndsey , maybe bleus goo was an early birthday present for ya and Happy birthday to you too. Your friends seemed like really nice people too, glad yous had a good time. Andy , you've intrigued me with a comment you made about explosions and the issues you've dealt with, may I ask how you witnessed these issues ? Were you in the forces , if it's too personal sir, don't worry saying I totally understand. Take care , safe travels.
Cheers Darren, glad you’re enjoying the locations. No, I have no service history mate. I was referring to the history of the area having suffered numerous accidents & explosions in the past, thankfully not me 🥰🙌
