- In the third of my adventures to Plymouth and Beyond, with viewer Tim Tricker, we head into Cornwall to visit the wonderful villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. We also make for the tiny historic chapel on Rame Head. The gun emplacement mentioned, I think, was actually a radio tower during the war.

That initial bit of sea you were looking at Richard is called Cawsand Bay, the headland is Rame head, no S. The Rame peninsula is often referred to as ' Cornwall's forgotten corner ' The old medieval Chapel atop is St. Michael's Chapel, a place of worship for many years. Good to see you in my part of Cornwall, the history of the area is immense. Regards, Andy.
I hope it stays forgotten! Not full of people. It's beautiful
@@RockDove5212 I totally agree. I love where I come from, the isolation of it and the ferries that you have to take to get here reinforces that very special island feel.
Ah, how fabulous. Thanks, Andy for the extra bit of history and information. A wonderful area you have there.
12:48 wow....beautifull place is Plymouth
Some fantastic filming there Richard, combined with some lovely soothing music. A real masterpeace. I will admit that I very much prefer this content to your more jovial stuff because your skill with a camera really comes across. Very much looking forward to the next installment.
I am a man of many tastes of production
Thank you for indulging with your video of the city where my life began, and also the beautiful stannary town of Tavistock where I was brought up. As a youngster I remember my mothers frustration of the ponies coming into our garden and standing at our French window after nibbling on her plants. Sometimes the sheep would have a nibble too! That was one of the many joys of our bungalow backing on to Dartmoor. I wasn’t too long until my father erected a fence. That was the 70s, so I’m sure it will be very different now. These days I live in the fine city of Norwich, with very different scenery. Looking forward to the next instalment. Another top class production. Thank you again.
So pleased you enjoyed the video
My Uncle and aunt and cousins, used to live at Rame Head, the cottages on the sharp bend on the left, just bit before the car park to the chapel
Lovely place to live.
Very nice town No cars lovely 🥰. Remember richard no Cake and no sugar we are watching you lol.great video to end your trip to Plymouth .And also thanks to Tim as well.
I am being watched! :)
A lovely fleeting visit to lovely Cornwall. I am so glad you had great weather. That is not a place I am familiar with but I shall certainly check it out when I next go. I love the narrow roads in Cornwall, always good fun to meet another vehicle coming in the opposite direction.
Fantastic. What a place.
Richard thankyou for these wonderful videos. So enjoyable and the pony appeared on cue there in Dartmoor.🐴 Van life is definitely the way to travel.
It sure is.
Lovely to see these little unknown villages and what a way to wake up. Beautiful scenery.
Cheers, Sean.
I really enjoyed this one too Richard & Tim - thank you for taking us on your journey. So captivating are the views & commentary, I'm eagerly awaiting Part 4. Your visit has been such a pleasure to watch! 😊 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
it’s so weird to see what my dad was doing at 6am while i was asleep because i am far from a morning person
Hello Tayler. Dad is always up early as you know. Had a great time when Richard and I came down to do some exploring in your local area. Thank you so much for showing us Kingsand. It is truly a wonderful find and a great place to visit. Would not of gone there if it wasn't for you ❤️ X
He was helping me immensely get the videoing done. It was also lovely to meet you too.
What an absolutely wonderful mini-series Richard! Great cinematography, music selection and cheesy jokes.... 😀😀😀
Thanks very much, Jim.
Really enjoying your videos, both DIY and the exploring. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much, Jack. Very much appreciated.
A delightful video, loved Kingsand and early morning Dartmoor, beautifully filmed, thank you.
Many thanks!
Perfect choice of incidental music - delightful!
So pleased you enjoyed it.
thanks tim, absolutely awesome
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh, Richard, so wunderful! I wish I could see that with my eyes, and be there.
Thank you so much, sooooo wonderful!!!
You are very welcome
Thanks! This has to be one of your best, a bit of everything and great music as ever. I agree driving in towns / cities is so stressful and noisy , unless you know the place well, I know I can't wait to get out into the green again. The flies are probably St Mark's flies that appear in large clouds around St Mark's Day ( April 23rd). The chapel is fascinating and what views, it reminded me of yur video and Glastonbury, equally windy but Tim wasn't wearing a purple wig teehee
Thanks for the 'thanks' Linda, and for enjoying the video so much. We certainly enjoyed ourselves, that is for sure.
All beautiful scenery and points of interest thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it - it is a lovely place, Cornwall.
The west country is absolutely gorgeous. I almost went to live down in Cornwall about 10 years ago, and seeing your video makes me wish I had. Looking forward very much to the next video .
It would be a wonderful place to live.
what a delightful,magical video,truly professional,excellent stuff Richard
Glad you enjoyed it, John
Really enjoyed this vlog Richard. The seaside looks marvelous, and you and Tim did a great job showing the sites. Your editing and music selection is absolutely brilliant! Your edits to different angles of scenery and structure were breathtaking and your music selection complemented the scenery from what you showed. You can see a lot of work went into this vlog! I would love to live in a little coastal town like Plymouth but can imagine it would be very expensive. But I too would not be thrilled on the traffic, hustle and bustle of the city centre etc. However, beautiful nonetheless. Thank you for sharing....and ....carry on!! xx
Thanks so much for the compliment regarding the production of the video. Certainly a lovely place to visit.
Brilliant filming and so wonderful to see sunrise on Dartmoor. We truly have some pretty villages to explore in England, we just need to know where to find them!!
I prefer this sort of video and I know you prefer to be in the countryside rather than in the hustle of a city. You and me both.
Enjoy the bank holiday weekend, I'll be at the Bluebell railway tomorrow, looking after my grandson on Sunday, Monday I don't know yet.
Glad you enjoyed it.
@@RichardVobes Richard I enjoy watching all your videos, you've inspired me to start walking again.
Enjoy the bank holiday x
Lovely video Richard. It's wonderful to see my home Duchy of Cornwall again. Interesting to note that there are very few brick buildings in the county. Such a contrast to the city scrawl of Plymouth. The area has become one of the most populated areas along the UK's southern coastline.
It is a great shame about the lost countryside around Plymouth. All those housing estates!
This the kind of video I love to see . . . Brilliantly done and very addictive.
Thank you
Stunning area where you were, Tavistock is a nice town went there years ago as was staying in a place called Peter Tavy there is a Mary Tavy as well i think there is a pub called the Elephants nest in Peter Tavy worth a visit . Look forward to more xx
I will be having a quick look at Mary Tavy in a forthcoming episode. :)
Truly excellent Richard, an amazing place, Good video.
Many thanks
Looks a super area to see ,& thanks for the heads up on the town .
No problem 👍
Beautiful filming,sensitive music and very peaceful. Thank you😃
Thanks so much, Anne.
Thank youi Richard.
You are very welcome
Totally amazing. What a fabulous film. Sunrise. Sunset, Ponies. Wow. Thame you.
My pleasure
Never, ever be afraid of heights - nor even falling. Hitting the ground however, may give rise to a degree of concern - only for a little while though...
Really enjoying these videos, thank you. Devon and Cornwall are my favourite places for holidays. Had many over the years and after Sussex the other place in England I would like to live in. Kingsand brought to mind Poldark, maybe it’s time for my 3rd read of the series!
The Poldark books are great. Love Winston Graham's other books too. Thanks for the 'thanks' Kerry. Much appreciated.
You want to go to Charlestown near St Austell
Great job
What a sweet little village and you have the sea to boot! The narrow roads keep traffic down I’m sure. I hope it never changes and keeps the uniqueness it has. It doesn’t sound like that advertise either to help keep it the same. The sound of the waves would be so nice to hear on a summer night. Glad you found it and shared it!
A lovely place for sure.
Great video. Loved the van,
Thanks so much.
Superb shots of Dartmoor pony and surroundings.
Thanks so much.
That was a fantastic part of your West Country adventure. Kingsand is quite the find!
Yes, a lovely place.
That was a delightful watch! Kingsand’s little streets reminded me of Mousehole (Mouzle Richard, Mouzle! 😂) I could smell the ozone! Thank you so much!
Yes, very much the same vibe! :)
Such a lovely video Richard, so professionally done and we loved the music you chose. Keep them coming
Thanks, Lynn. I will do my best.
@@RichardVobes you always do 👌 perfection
So glad you had such glorious weather for your trip. Kingsand and waking up to a Dartmoor sunrise looked fantastic!
It was! - I loved it.
@@RichardVobes would love to know what the cello music was accompanying this film?
Nice places that you found to visit away from Plymouth and the rugged coastline is truly good ! I don't care much for Plymouth, as it's a city that is very much a place of today. What you have found away from there, has made the trip worthwhile.
I agree, it was good to get out of the city.
Lovely video, as always, so pleased you enjoyed Kingsand. We stopped off there a month ago, had lunch at the Devonport inn. When I heard you were going to Plymouth I nearly suggested you visit Kingsand/ Cawsand, but you found it anyway. In fact you went one better than us and found that chapel too, now we’ve got to go back again!
You will indeed have to go back to the magical chapel.
Captured Cornwall beautifully. Was there in the 70s.Stayed in a b and b in Dartmouth which was originally the old customs house in the harbour where they filmed Onedin line.
I must go and visit Dartmouth sometime.
Another fantastic video Richard, so many lovely little side streets, but how do the residents park to their house. Cornwall looks lovely so many great views, so many old historic buildings. theese videos are amazing Richard your doing a great job.
Yes, it is a lovely place.
Hi Charlie. I live in the next village along, Millbrook, in a small stone terraced cottage. We've lived here for 16 years and you get used to carrying your things to and from the car. We love it here!
@@helenholmes9255 hi Helen, ahhh okay I see, thanks for the reply, that's good to know.
Hello Richard and Tim, so glad that you didn't eat the cake haha, as ever a lovely video. You have so much fun together. Thank you both very much
So pleased you enjoyed it. Yes we, ahem, didn't eat the cake. :)
What a glorious adventure in beautiful surroundings. I can see why so may people choose to visit Cornwall. Cheeky little mid-video advert break there during the dip-to-black...
Trying to recoop the cost!
Richard, if you have time, visit Bigbury Bay. It's just down the road and has a beautiful island that can only be reached on foot at low tide. :)
Oooh I will have to return
Excellent vid
Thank you
Great place Cornwall nice building ther like chapel on hill hope enjoy it
I did enjoy it. Great fun.
That was nice, REALY looking forward to the next episode ….it’s got a talking police car in it!
It certainly has. :)
That clock tower very nearly did get washed away by the sea a few years ago, the corner was hanging in fresh air, hence the massive concrete sea defence now below it.
Sounds gripping
Nice trip you are doing to Plymouth and Cornwall. That Kingsand looked gorgeous. Looking forward to the next Vlog.
On a different note, found out this week on the water stress area of the Arun and Rother catchment areas. Planning will not be allowing any more development unless it can be proved the development will be water neutral i.e. it won't take extra water or it can be proved water use can be offset on other sites. Natural England has information. Are we reaching the limit of what an area can support extra housing wise with natural resources? Apparently there is a major block of planning applications due to this in the Midhurst to Horsham area. Strange there is not more news on this from the media.
Let's hope there is no more development.
In the words of a US President " I did not have gastronomic relations with that cake" although my memory may be askew in that instant. Really beautiful scenery you two manage to find. I never got to see Rame Head although I was accommodated on HMS Rame Head at one time. You must have both passed HMS Raleigh as you drove away from the ferry. I had a gruelling six weeks basic training there although I got through it OK. Dartmoor was a place for me to escape to when I was not on duty for a weekend. Drakes house at Buckland Abbey is well worth a visit. It's in the care of the National Trust. I saw my only wild adder on the moor near Princeton. The summer sun was close to setting & dont know which of us was more surprised. When you're up near the tors in the mist it's easy for a romantic mind to mistake a Dartmoor Pony for the legendary local Hell Hound which Conan Doyle penned into the Hound of the Baskervilles.
I must return to Dartmoor for more investigations. Thanks for watching.
Hubby used to spend all his summer holidays in Cawsand as a child, mother and father in law loved it because its uncommercialised unlike most cornish holiday places. Sister in law married a local lad and lives in Millbrook, the village you go through before reaching Cawsand. sadly most of the houses and cottages are holiday homes, the locals mostly live in Millbrook. Dartmoor, my home, Tavistock, my town!! Welcome!!
You will like the next video then! :) Thanks, Mary.
@@RichardVobes Can't wait!
Thanks Richard. Interesting video from you. I don’t usually comment, because you rarely answer. I’ve never been nearer to Plymouth than the railway station and judging by your description, that’s close enough.
Pretty much. The Hoe is worth a look however.
Morning Richard, another epic filmed in Vobavision with a cast of thousands, excellent! Your comment "Flies every where..." but where would we be without flies? Probably doing a stretch inside klink for exposure! : -)
Oh yes, all filmed in Vobavision :)
You really must do a lot more filming in Devon and Cornwall as so many films have been made down here which are watched all over the world, like Poldark and Doc Martin. We are so used to the narrow country lanes and the places like Clovelly where they use donkeys or sledges to go up and down to their houses as it is too steep, narrow and cobbled for cars. Mount Edgcumbe, near Plymouth is nice. North Devon, Valley of the Rocks is amazing. Lorna Doone Valley on Exmoor..................too many picturesque places and history to mention here. There are beautiful beaches, like Woolacombe which is about three miles long.
I will return. :)
Kingsand and Cawsand are on route of South West Coast path as is Rame head. Only a short walk from the Plymouth Cremyll ferry crossing through Mount Edgecumbe country park. So not so remote by foot but very pretty.
A very pretty place indeed.
I don't suppose you noticed but the Kingsand clocktower and Institute building was severely damaged by the storm of February 2014. Waves went over the top of the building and also undermined it. It cost in the region of £600,000 to repair. At one point it was in danger of being written off which would have been a great loss of a well loved landmark. By the way, a great place to stop for an hour or two or even overnight, is Davidstow airfield near Camelford.
That was lucky not to lose the clocktower - and thanks for the overnight tip!
That dartmoor pony was a big boy.
We have a Plymouth here in Massachusetts also.
Cornwall, you can not get any better than that.
It was a wonderful experience.
You mention the Coastguard station, saying that Worthing hasn’t got one. What about doing a video about the Coastwatch (voluntary run) at the Fort on the end of Shoreham beach?
Could be a good one indeed.
I'm not sure what king. But in the near by village of Millbrook King Charles 1 hid out in a cottage there during the English civil war.
oooh interesting.
Go in winter.....the place is shut. Full of second homes.
Yes, we spoke to the locals and mentioned the number of second homes.
room for a smart car
Or a smart van :)
Quite good, but as so often happens, presenters were screwing up their eyes, they were all talk, and there were no close ups of place names. And hardly any people in the streets! Have their houses all become second homes? The last time I was in Kingsand, the village schoolchildren were having their swimming lesson in the sea.
You're not in that England; you're in Kernow - land of tin, granite and gold. We say;
By the grace of the Great Mother Goddess. We are:-
Cornish by birth
British by accident
English...NEVER!
