KYNANCE COVE - New RULE at UK BEST BEACH could SPOIL your visit to CORNWALL
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 พ.ค. 2024
- Today, the Cove attracts many visitors every year to enjoy the white sand and topaz blue waters, and maybe build a sandcastle! In April 2024, it was listed as one of the best beaches in the world, grabbing the #48 spot! In their efforts to conserve the habitat for rare plants and animals, The National Trust has restricted access to the cliff top view of the cove. Would this spoil your visit?
Kynance has long been revered and heralded over the centuries. The Victorians particularly enjoyed visiting and there are several accounts of their joy and delight at the experience. The locals offered guided tours of the caves and rocks, with many having names to enthral the visitors.
We have been to Kynance Cove several times over the years and know the Cove well. We wanted to share our tips and experiences to help you make the most of your day.
Join us on an April evening to explore the Cove and its delights.
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!
Unfortunately we cannot answer comments coming in more than a week after the publishing date of the video.
Frequently asked questions:
Do we do meet ups?
We regularly receive requests to meet up from viewers and subscribers, but unfortunately we do not have availability to be able to do this.
The channel is a very time consuming hobby, fitted around our employment and family commitments. Setting aside time for meet ups, means that we are not able to film and edit our weekly videos that you love to watch.
If you happen to bump into us while out and about, we will be more than happy to have a quick chat!
Sarah and Andrew
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 title. 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.
What is your dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dogs, perhaps you can make up your own name for them.

Who says you have to pay and cant park? It's high time we ignored these posters that demand payment for public countryside. This is OUR land. Just because some entity says they now own it, Its not for sale, it belongs to the people of the UK. Get them to show evidence of their authority and leave your phone at home. Enjoy life, live free.
well said. money is just a religion of belief and no one can be forced into religious belief. indeed, idolatry (use of money and corporations) is is crime the moment it is forced upon us.
Unfortunately, you are wrong. The legal debate is ownership of the foreshore ( land between high and low water points). Initially, under the Magna Carta ( yes, it’s specifically cited) the foreshore was deemed to be owned by the Crown ( along with fish weirs). Now some are owned by local councils and some by private landlords, so access is dictated by hurdles they place because trespass is a civil not criminal matter. And, of course, car parking on private land is the subject of an entirely different consideration.
Speaking of 💩contamination of the sea, where do you imagine the waste from those toilets go? It is not feasible to perform the usual catch & treat manoeuvres in this geographic location. So the only solution is to stop tourism.
Someone has to pay to make, maintain and man the carpark and road to it, these things don't appear naturally, the steps don't repair themselves the paths don't naturally grow gravel, if you park without a ticket you'll receive a fine in the post.
Troll, you don’t own anything, we as “English” people don’t own a thing we didn’t pay for and even then it’s mostly rented. There is some seriously stupid people in this country. You expect to be treated like a king in this country because you had the luck to be born here and yet you expect the same when you enter someone else’s country.
UK with so much beauty is fantastic. Unfortunately it has become so expensive to explore. One now needs a very high wage just to take the family out for a day. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
My father was based at RAF Predannack during WW2 - over 80 years ago - prior to being deployed to North Africa. As a boy back in the '60's he would tell us of his love of the Lizard and the many Coves that I too fell in love with too. I also had a great friend who was a commercial fisherman from Cadgwith, who I regularly visited during the '70's thru to the early '90's, however he was unfortunately lost at sea over 30 years ago and with that awful event, I unfortunately, I lost my appetite for the area for quite some time. Fortunately however, after being posted to the area several years ago, I've started to re-explore the Lizard which brings back some fantastic memories of both my Father and Good Mate Tony, who have now passed. Keep up the great work....
Just Park, it's not law to have a smart phone app. Time we got this stopped, can you not see that compliance is our own demise!
I Agree but it accepts coins also.
Agree 100%
Where does that money go i wonder
@@PaulGreenwaldto maintain the area and vlear all the litter which the "Great Unwashed" leave
Quite right
Best without anyone there isn't it?! Thank you for taking me back there & reminding me how lovely it is without crowds of people. Sadly, I can't do this anymore so it's so nice to watch and remember times when I could. You are both so much fun to watch. My daughter on her way to Cornwall at end of month...just along the coast at Polurrian... her favourite cove. x J x
57 years ago I visited this wonderful cove. I’ve never forgotten it. 🥰🇬🇧
Likewise. I am glad I visited it in less crowded times when it was peaceful there.
When are you going to go back to appologise 🤣
@jankitteringham, . Me too, on a school trip in 1971! It is truly unforgettable 👍
Whilst obviously a beautiful cove to visit, me being bed/wheelchair-bound, I can appreciate such views without having to be wheeled anywhere / everywhere (by my daughter). Plus, with my only travels taking me from my home, via hospital transport vehicles to St.Thomas' (diabetic eye care), Guys (failing kidneys - Renal Clinic) and Lewisham (Warfarin levels) all regular visits, and the full extent of my excursions outside my home. ...
Thus, your lovely videos give the sense of freedom, and views of our beautiful countryside, with 'adventures via the imagination' _and_ your descriptive videos. Thankyou so much.🏴❤️🇬🇧🙂 🖖Live Long and Prosper. 🖖
What a lovely walk. Thank you for posting, its years since I’ve been to the Lizard but I never made it to this beach. With the amount of tourism now I can understand why the National Trust want to protect the ecology of this area and have to limit access to certain areas. If everyone wants to experience its beauty it has to be protected for everyone to enjoy. I would defiantly go out of season. 👍🌿🙂
Just Beautiful - A picture is worth a 1,000 words & a perfect evening for some R&R. Just loved it. Thank you for a super evenings entertainment.
When we were in Kynance Cove for the first time, we managed to get down the stairs to the beach without getting our feet wet. We were overwhelmed by the beautiful bay. It is by far the most beautiful beach in Great Britain, if not the whole world. Thank you for the great video. Kind regards, Günter
I truly appreciate the effort you put into these videos. They always make me smile.
Grate Britain; where nothing is uncomplicated any more! Pay up, pay up and pay again!!
Brilliant video again, as usual laughed out loud a couple of times at Andrew's 'jokes'...!! Really brightened up another 'stuck in the house Friday'..... 🙂
I love your videos. I live in Cornwall and have been all over the county. I love revisiting places I love through you because I no longer have a car. Keep going and don't stop. Big thank you.
What an absolutely beautiful video 💕Thank you.
Hi Andrew And Sarah,After Watching Last Year's Coverack Walk, We Were So Impressed That ,That Same Evening We Booked Our May 2024 Holiday, And Arrived Yesterday,
Loving Coverack Already,Keep All Your Fantastic Video's Coming.
Peter And Claire From Wiltshire.
Very interesting and funny like always…what a lovely and interesting video again…you two are great❤❤❤
So glad this video come on my suggestions, you are such a lovely couple ❤
Am a Portuguese living in Cornwall
Going to do a marathon of your videos to take inspiration to explore more.
All the best 😊
If the gate is locked before published closing time you need a cordless angle grinder 🙂
Lovely....just Lovely Guys!
Great place, love to visit it, but always at low season/ It is madness at high season.
The rope is ridiculously low. Unfortunately it’s probably useless. There will be hoards of people disregarding it sadly
We were there 31 years ago, a lovely place and we saw seals very close to the shore. Parking was free back then!
😅Kynance Cove has always been one of my Favourites it’s a must to visit, spent many sunbathing and swimming days there!
We've been going to Kynance for over 30 years and its got more packed each year. last year the car parks were full and they were using a field a long way from the beach so we didn't bother. i believe the old film , "the thief of Bagdad" used Kynance for the ship wreck scene. You do some great video guys, really enjoy them and im going to follow one or two of your walks this summer . thank you.
Another amazing video thank you enjoyed
My gran used to live down church cove and often an children we would end up in Kynance for a Sunday outing we grew up in Pool so it was great going to grans at the weekend, I equally love Dossmary Pool area too
What a fantastic video, looks like you two had so much fun, so may laugh out loud moments, thank you for all the beautiful views, have a great weekend,Sending happiness your way, Lori
Another great trek with Sarah and Andrew
Congratulations Sarah and Andrew - another of your little gems! Kynance Cove must be one of the places I never visited when I was living in Cornwall, because I couldn't have forgotten such an idyllic location. The colours and the contrast in shades in this video are absolutely stunning. As well as your skills, I think it must have something to do with the evening light.
I support absolutely your warnings in the video about the dangers the sea can pose. Never take it for granted 😮.
The old disused white cottage on the way to the Cove, in conjuction with dangerous seas, reminded me of the mother of all erosion - the Hallsands tragedy. In case you might want to cover this story yourselves one day (I really hope you will), just the barest details here. Hallsands is/was a fishing village in south Devon that fell victim to a terrible storm in 1917, eventually leaving just the one white cottage like the one mentioned above. How this happened is a scandal - worthy of being retold, in a way only you can, just over a century later as a tribute to the 137 people who lost their homes.
Looking forward to your next adventure - Robert
Beautiful footage ❤ thanks for the stream
Love you two. xx
Hi Sarah and Andrew, thank you so much for this wonderful footage of Kynance Cove. We visited this unique place often. I think if it protects nature it is okay that the National Trust restricted the access to the cliff top. But the rope is very low. I don't know if people let themselves be stopped from climbing over it. We love to visit Kynance cove in September. I miss Cornwall so much this May. Thank you both for sharing this wonderful videos. Have a nice weekend. Gabi:)
Lovely video and a great place to visit. Thanks for your enjoyable review. Cheers Bob
I served at RNAS Culdrose from 1985 to 1990 as a Helicopter Engineer and this was the best beach we used to go to. Fantastic for swimming not too many tourists as it wasn’t very well known or more popular as the other beaches at the time such as Prarr Sands, Church Cove and others.
Thank you for all these great videos. Lovely to spot the green serpentine in the stone steps up from the high tide path 😊My friend and I had a break at Kynance Cove during a walk along the coastal path. It was during the warm days in July 2022, and at low tide, which was thoroughly planned. The sea was turqoise and calm and held about 18-19 degrees. It looked just as picture perfect as on the best Instagram pics. The beach and the whole area felt quite a bit bigger than I had imagined. We waded a bit in the sea and loved it. And I regret to this day that I didn't take a dip. We decided against it because it would take more time than we were willing to spend (having a good distance to walk further on), and the backpacks would be heavier with the wet swimming costumes, towels and bathing shoes. But in retrospect I see that it was a silly decision. There were a lot of people but there were still places to be seated. We loved the place, and I would give it 5 based on our experiences. Thank you 🥰 Torunn.
Thank you for the fantastic guide.
I like your rip off Cornish flag….Are you a wannabe?
@@DerekLangdon - a proud Devonian who appreciates Cornwall. Not sure what your point is?
Kynance Cove has a stunning coast line, but too complicated for me to get my head around, no trouble for a pair of mountain goats though, a most enjoyable virtual tour, Andrews Lion joke was a bit tame but made me smile 😊 and Sarah giggle 🤭 the incoming tide certainly does roar like a lion 🦁 I have a couple of pieces of beautifully veined rock that I lacquered and used for paper weights that I collected some fifty years ago:) thank you both for this amazing footage and great commentary 👌🥀🤗
I'm glad I'm a mountain person. You can keep the coast, the crowded beaches and the seagull thieves. That is, the seagulls are the thieves, and I was not saying that there are thieves who steal seagulls.
Great video. Thank you both. Greetings from Bodmin Moor - the remote bit. 😎
Ah! You must be the beast! Or are you another white settler from east of the Tamar?
The stroms this year have wrecked a lot of our coastal areas.
It must be frustrating for the locals too having these areas full of tourists trapsing through in the summer and often who have no repsect for the areas.
So I can understand areas now being protected by NT.
Bit expensive parking.
Lovely coves. 👍😀
Brilliant, a really enjoyable video 👍 and like you, we’re fortunate enough to visit out of season which is the better option.
We were there a couple of weeks ago. One of my favourite spots in the UK. Outrageous parking charges.
Thank you for another lovely video. You take me back to places that I love to visit, teach me something new and make me smile.
In Cornwall, we seem to have become victims of our own success in recent years. For various reasons, I feel that Cornwall has become more popular again, which is great for local businesses but there is a limit to what our infrastructure can stand, and I have noticed a number of 'protective measures' that have been put into place at various beauty spots. Of course, coastal erosion has a part to play in this too.
Your assessment of Kynance, in my opinion, is spot on. I think that your footage cleverly provides a constructive and realistic portrayal of the reality that visitors may find when visiting Kynance, and indeed the rest of Cornwall, while still emphasising the beauty of the place. I take landscape photographs of Cornwall as a hobby and there are many 'versions' of Cornwall to be enjoyed. Personally, I prefer the stormy, moody winter, spring and autumn version to, what I call, the sanitised, blue sea and golden sand images found in tourist brochures, and always search for alternative viewpoints at different locations. Ironically my preferred viewing point at Kynance was the one that is now the official suggested one, so I shall just have to plan another visit and find another favourite. - Out of season and in a force 10, of course!
Looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful content, as and when you have time. Best wishes, - Sue
Wow thumbs up 👍 like and shared out in you tube community. ⌚
Love you two fruit loops ❤❤
I have a beach or two that I can walk to from home, dog friendly, and in over a decade there have been half a dozen people also found them. Wide beach, rocks for diving off depending on the tide & wonderful solitude. They are…
The difficulty we have had with any NT sites is that they appear to be aggressively targeting youtubers who post images and are monetised - on top of that, restriction of access seems to be happening at other sites in the UK. Great video though, really do enjoy your content!
Was there last week on holiday. Thought something looked different to the last time I was there! 🤣
What a great couple, bounce off each other wonderfully, the humour is... well, I have no words 🤣
Not sure if I should subscribe for the humour or the views...
It became extra busy after Poldark. I have once been on a spring high tide and the water was right up to the cliffs, lots of baffled tourists sat on rocks looking for the beach 😂.
Just stubbled upon your channel! What a beautiful beach! I live in Norfolk, where we have some wonderful beaches, but I've never been to Cornwall. I'll have to visit this year! Thanks!
Kynance is suffering badly from over tourism. I really wish the press/media/TH-cam would stop mentioning it, or at the very least list the many negatives about it. I live near Kynance Cove and it really needs a limit on the numbers of people going there. There are several other beaches in the area with more facilities and they have easy access without the need of climbing experience.
Giss on me ansom!
The UK is suffering from over population! This is the problem….
They did go through both positive and negative aspects of the beach i think. Thought it was a great video x
@@sionandjess The problem is the constant propaganda about Kynance Cove does not mention the negative aspects.
I found your comments interesting as we've had a holiday on the Lizard many times these past 60 years with children, grandchildren, dogs since the early 60's. Now in our 80's with mobility difficulties we visited last year for probably the last time. You mentioned other similar beaches in this area and would welcome your advice please.
Years ago I had a massive argument with my girlfriend about this car park. It was our first day on holiday and we arrived at Kynance early in the morning with no man to pay. I told her we could leave a note in the window and pay when we came back from the beach. She had a massive panic attack saying we was going to get clamped. So we drove out and I asked another person walking about what they thought and they said don`t worry and she calmed down. So we parked up and went down to the beach. Then she was going on about the path being too dangerous. Started crying that I had rock climbing boots on. Most stressful holiday I`ve had in Cornwall.
Sadly, most days in Cornwall are like that now.
@@Hedgehogsinthemist123 well she left me for her supervisor when we got back home so I`ve been happy ever since. I can even put beer in the fridge now without a fight. :) :)
Ive never seen a clamped car or ticketed in a NT car park, im a member and if I forget my card I just park anyway, it’s nothing to worry about now that most car parks are not manned and if they are they are for advice due to there’s ticket machines
@@julianbeesley5059 my ex used to panic way too much.
I remember climbing down in flip flops. How stupid for someone Cornish who should know better. 😙
I admire your dedication to getting the lion pun 😂
I love your blogs I’m disabled and can’t walk far or do steps, hills or stiles so I enjoy watching you. I wondered if a more robust mobility scooter get down the high tide route?
Excellent video. We always visit Kynance when in Cornwall. We park in Lizard and walk the SWCP to Kynance. We find NT membership very useful in Cornwall for parking. As long as one is a member parking is free.
I remember the first time we went to Kynance Cove , lived nearby in Helston , as we were walking down the track , low tide one , we heard an almighty scream coming from down near the beach , we thought someone may have fallen on the rocks or the like , when we got down on to the beach , I asked a young guy if the scream came from anybody who had been hurt , he replied " No , that was mu Dad , he dived in to the sea and the scream was his reaction to the sea temperature ! " A beautiful part of Cornwall , the Lizard Peninsula is so scenic , thanks for the vlog Andrew and Sarah .
I stayed in the cottage (now sadly boarded up) for a week's holiday back in the mid-70s. An old couple stayed in the cottage furthest from the beach and rented out the one nearest the beach. The cove was busy during the day but after about 6 p.m. we had it to ourselves; although one evening a quick run round the rocks nearly saw me trampling a couple who obviously thought they were alone in the cove!!
What a beautiful place it is. I haven't been for ages because of the crowds, but will definitely get down there when summer has closed out this year. Art request - you did a couple of lovely pen-and-ink drawings with watercolour wash during a Warleggan walk video from a couple of years ago that I saw recently. They had long since sold (not surprisingly) but I thought they were fantastic, so please do some more of those....!
Went to Kynance a few years ago and it really was beautiful
It does get crazy busy there during the summer. I tend to go in the evenings and catch the sun setting. Out of season, it's a joy to be able to explore without all the crowds.
It's worth checking online before you go to these places now to try and find out if you need a parking app, so you can download it beforehand, as quite often the mobile signal in these places is next to nothing.
The one thing they don’t tell you is that the beach isn’t patrolled by lifeguards. The sea can have an undertow pulling you out to sea. For a strong swimmer it’s hard but others can drown. A few years ago my wife pulled a man from the sea. Air sea rescue came but despite cpr whilst waiting for the helicopter the man died. A beautiful beach, but take care when swimming please!
my dad and first brother was pass away,i still have single mom only,i try to change my life in this utube,im really shocked and this is my first time watching your video,i hope get more views from all around the world,have good day guys
Have you guys ever been to Cott Valley at low tide? If one goes there in the evening, head over the little bridge on the left, follow the path up on to the point and watch the ands End fireworks around 8pm.
Stunning panoramic scenery and soothing ocean sounds. I usually visit Cornwall late September to mid May, when it's mostly quieter. About 15 yrs ago I was lucky to buy the prettiest vintage sounenir of Serpentine rock, with one face polished like a sheer cliff, showing amazing colours, an the sweetest painted lead seagull perched wings-open on top (which probably dates it pre-'60s). I found it on a charity stall oustide Jubilee Pool Penzance that was then raising funds for restoration.
It isn't quiet in May anymore.
Everywhere gets crazy in summer.
For £10 paking I would want my own viewing spot.
It was ten pounds in a York multistorey . About 15 years ago and that was for about 12 hours.
can you do a report on Carlyon Bay developmen t please?
I got wet feet there a few years ago underestimating the speed of incoming tide… thought I had time/clear path along the cliff, but mid way across a larger wave soaked my feet 😂
Only a few years away of the RNLI demanding payment to access a beach "for your safety."
17:43 There is a painting by Albert Goodwin (1845-1932) of "Kynance Cove, Cornwall" close to that very spot. I can't find a date when it was painted. A part from the sand, it doesn't seemed to have changed much.
We're heading back to Cornwall twice this year and will make a visit at least once, one of our favourite places. Sarah do you showcase or sell your paintings anywhere?
Hi Dougie, I have a shop on Etsy.com, cornishwalkingtrails.etsy.com. I listed the Kynance painting and it is still available at the moment. There are other pieces on there and I regularly add new stock. If you would like something specific, let me know. I charge commissions at the same rate as the shop prices, unless you require a different size. Sarah :)
To be fair it does get very busy there and so more erosion is happening - sadly this means that some parts are now out of bounds. It's such a lovely place but not when it's so crowded you cant easily pass on the paths. Our dog had her first swim there so happy memories - it was November and still very busy
I went here in feb this year. The torrential rain travelling at 50mph horisontally meant i lasted ten minutes ! Maybe in better weather (for some reason that escapes me hardly any cars parked here 🤣)
What you have to put up with Sarah! I don't know! Simon Cowell won't be calling Andrew! Another beautiful VT. Keep up the good work!!
The sign doesn't say you must not cross the rope. It is only asking you to keep to the path. It is a nice location that I walked back in the 1990s. I am now 71 and would not be able to do it again , I hope you had a good day from EVE from Kent.
I went back to Durdle door in Dorset a few years ago as it was always such a beautiful place. It was a hot day and absolutely ramped with people. Only about 10% of the people were talking English. I didn't even make it to the beach, I turned around, walked back and left. Britain is ruined.
Imagine all the countries that same the same thing about the British invading their countries on their holidays.
@ragetobe Well done. Are you still living in the 1800s and the days of the British empire?
No English speakers about? Ain’t that terrible. I have the same trouble in Cornwall. But with me I have trouble finding people who speak Kernowick (Cornish) as the vast majority are English Speakers.
@DerekLangdon we do need to send the Anglo-Saxons immigrants home.
@@DerekLangdon That language is not required in Cornwall anymore, it was and still is a county not a country. Perhaps try something new and learn a new language 🤣
Classic Dad joke...can't believe in my 62 years in Cornwall...I've never been to Kynance Cove....Next on our list in the van...😉👌
I don't think its a bad thing that the National Trust are trying to protect the cliffs and shore line. for safety and protecting the beauty of our coast . Just an example, We used to love visiting the Azure Window in Gozo Malta ,visitors ignored signs not to walk along the top of the Windows ledge and unfortunately it collapsed into the sea. Luckily no one was on it but due to people ignoring the notices, the famous landmark is no longer there. Protect our beautiful landmarks by respecting it ❤
It would spoil my visit more if I realised later that they were not conserving the habitat for rare plants and animals.
It seems the rare plants etc were disregarded in favour of the paying film crew though.
They are certainly not conserving the indigenous Cornish, or their ancient Brittonic language.
@@DerekLangdon Are they not? Strange then that the language was all but extinct by the end of the 18th century, but now the language is now growing again, is taught in schools and appears on street nameplates. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, but you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
Used to go to Cornwall years ago, but no way I am going back there, especially after all residents were so nasty during Cvid yet whine about wanting tourist money. They just want tourist money without having to see the tourists. So many nicer places to go where the people are nicer too.
Could you perhaps do a video of a walk for disabled people could Do on the flat?love watching you you and wish I was able to do the walks,i live in Cornwall💗
I have a National Trust membership and if you go out regularly it pays for itself time and again with the car parking charges.
I think the £10 is an incentive to try and make your visit shorter than you would like and keep car parking spaces available with people leaving every couple of hours.
Hiya not been for 13 years but after seen this video must go for my birthday which for the beach sake unfortunately will be heaved with tourists. But.... needs must as getting 66 I need to be there on the day!😮(25 July)
Question. I saw you did pay with coins 👍.
However, about the app!! What if one has no mobile phone?
Can parking only be established via app?
Thank you for replying.
(Eons ago one birthday i wild camped right next with my then partner, lying in a ditch, noone could see us. Oh hum, well i booked a airb. in Mullion instead.
Yes, i do live in Cornwall! But too much for myself to drive a n d enjoy the day) 6:19
Really loving the views xxxx
Went to Kynance about 12 years ago. I had my photo taken on the edge of the cliff (the area you are no longer allowed to go on). Over tourism is causing lots of problems and untold damage. As you are locals, I feel you have a right to climb over the rope and take your pic. I'm not sure which route we took to get down (and up), but it was all rocky and it was literally clambering over rocks. Got down to the beach and had a little paddle. It was lovely and it was quite windy too. There was another path which led to the cafe, so you either took the rocky route or the cafe route but I don't think there was access to the beach from the cafe. Have they put a new path in then? Seeing abandoned housing near the sea that needs rebuilding is a very rare sight in Cornwall these days.
Ahh me too. Was there last 13 years ago. Will go for my birthday this year!
With a full car park they are making nearly £3k a day. Nice little earner.
I went once and got cut off by the tide as I was round the corner side on the baby cove beach... We had to wade stomach deep out. We didn't realise it cuts you off like that. 😭
As I recall and understand, alegedly..... The abandoned buildings are not owned by National Trust and have refused access for the owners to renovate and maintain the buildings. The owners refuse to sell them to National trust. This situation has persisted for at least 25 years and seems unlikely to change. Shame on you National Trust.
Its beautiful there. I love it but cannot visitvit anymorecdur to disability 😪
They need to charge you for photos from that viewing point ,like they do at Lands End..
The Lion Rock, must be the only Sealion in this country!
Please be aware that the low tide path route is quite steep in places and if you have any health concerns choose the high tide route.
Too many holiday people here now and dont get me started on 2nd homes
Are there safe routes/roads to cycle there?
Seriously go where you want what's anyone going to do lol
Beautiful place, but the walk back to the car park slaughters me !
I love your videos, thanks so much I love Cornwall. You are a lovely couple.😊
The rock you call "Serpentine" is actually called 'Serpentenite'... And, when broken open and exposed to the air and weathering, this rock turns from its green tones to a reddish-rusty colour. 🙂❤️🖖
