- I take on the challenge of hiking from Penzance to Plymouth along Cornwall's renowned Southwest Coast Path. This adventure promises breathtaking coastal views, rugged cliffs, serene beaches, and picturesque villages. Join me as I navigate the ups and downs of this iconic trail, sharing the trials and triumphs of each step.
The boats .... amazing footage
Yes even if they was small boat trips they was plenty of fun :)
Lovely video again 😃 Thank you for sharing!
I see that you pitched your tent inside of the cottage called Mallet's cottage. If you want some information about ut, you can read this:
Here is some of the history of Mallet’s cottage, copied from Explorecornwall:
Mallet’s Cottage was built in the early 19th century by a man named Mallet, a fisherman who chose to live a life of solitude on the sea cliffs. He married a woman from the nearby village of Veryan, but instead of settling down with her there, he opted to maintain his solitary existence in his cliff-side abode. With a boat tucked away in the inlet below, Mallet would spend his days fishing in the surrounding waters, only returning to Veryan on weekends to bring his catch to his wife.
In the 1840s, Mallet decided to emigrate to Australia, leaving his wife and the life he had built on the Roseland Peninsula behind. The cottage was left unoccupied and eventually fell into disrepair. Over time, it became a ruinous reminder of the area’s past, standing defiantly against the crashing waves and the relentless winds.
It wasn’t until 120 years later that Mallet’s great-granddaughter, Tina Mallet, decided to explore her family’s roots. Setting off from Bristol, she hitchhiked her way to Cornwall, and in a serendipitous twist of fate, the driver who picked her up was none other than the National Trust tenant farmer for Nare Head.
The National Trust, recognizing the historical significance and unique charm of Mallet’s Cottage, has taken steps to preserve the ruins. Today, the cottage stands as a testament to the rugged beauty of the Roseland Peninsula and the enduring spirit of the people who once called it home.
Wow thanks for the awesome information I never knew that I thought it was a old dwelling of some type maybe to do with the farm land above :) I'm glad you're enjoying my travels
@@teestravels I really like to know the history of the sites I am passing along the coastal path. And also to share if relevant 😄 I walked there in 2023 and I enjoy to see the area again through your videos.
