- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | The far southwest of England is a world unto itself, with a persistent Cornish culture. We'll explore a world of flowers springing from towering hedges, a tin-mining heritage going back to biblical times, salty pirates' towns and fishing villages, and the Land's End of England. Then, side-tripping deep into the vast and mysterious Dartmoor National Park, we'll hike to forgotten stone circles and chase wild ponies. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #cornwall

As an humble man, from a poor American village, traveling is not something that may ever be in my budget. However, I've thoroughly enjoyed with these amazing glimpses into some of the most beautiful places in the world that Mr. Rick so kindly and richly brought to us over the years. Thank you so much Mr. Rick for sharing with me the joy of travelling and getting to know different places, peoples and cultures! Best wishes from Arkansas.
JEOGRAPHY Songs For Kids Such a lovely, humble message, bless you and wishing you the very best in life.
Mate, 35 years ago I was homeless..managed to get a passport and a cheap ticket...never been back to my country..the world is cheap and interesting.
@@rowbearly6128 now that is a story I would like to hear!
Sat here in St Austell Cornwall. You never know. If you save up you could maybe make it here one day. Hope you do!
@@dantheman81811 Im in falmouth! but parent live in st austell
Visitors to our land always marvel at the green-ness of the country. We pay a heavy price for this beauty. It is called rain.
lol... also don't forget the only place you can get all four seasons in one day! :D I love my beautiful Cornwall...
Actually New Jersey receives more rain than England.
yes but that is why we are so green !
That's what I thought; the weather seems so dismal.
It's not so wet there. It just seems like it because it's so often grey and drizzly, with little sun. Here in Tennessee we get twice as much annual rainfall as Cardiff, the UK's wettest place..
My grandfather was from Cornwall, immigrated to the US around 1910. He could speak Cornish and eating pasties was a family tradition.
I come from Cornwall. In my eyes its one of the best places in the world :-)
My family are originaly from Cornwall...some 400 years ago they moved to London, They also settled in Butte Montana, where they were minors
John Stone “Cornish” is usually called English
Samuy Wardell
It's more like a cross between Welsh and Breton, nothing remotely like English!
DickTurpin what in 1990? Nooooo, the language had died out before then, the only person I know who can speak it is the local farmer. But that’s it. And plus it’s not a cross between welsh, because I speak welsh and English.
I'm here because there is a town in México called "Real del monte" where Cornish lived there and they brought their culture and traditional things like pasty, football cricket, handball, architecture, surnames, etc.
I live up north and every summer me, my mum and nanna drive down to Cornwall and spend the weekend there. This summer we’ll be spreading my nanna’s ashes. She’s be where she was most happy.
Wow thats some drive for a weekend my friend must be what 8 hour drive? stay for at least a week next time
@@mikedavies1217 Yeah we would leave Friday afternoon and get there Friday night.
@@izzylewis3109leave at 12.01 p.m and arrive at 11.59 p.m? Even from my home town,Bristol, that would be a really tough drive in the summer.
Corwall is a very very nice Region in the world, I miss you Cornwall... best regards from Germany.
@@silliestsususagest3276 🤗🥰
I miss it too 😭 this is where I belong and always will belong to this legend
"Poldark" brought me here 😀
I'm from Michigan, the pastie tradition is very strong here, especially in the north of Michigan where copper mining was extensive. It's considered a traditional Michigan food here, but wonderful to know it originated in England!
England always will have a special place in my heart ❤🏴🇬🇧❤
We just returned back to Belgium after a week of Impressive walks, friendly people and the best food in beautiful Cornwall and already felt homesick for the first time to...Cornwall....sigh ...😔
Was it your first time there?
No matter where I live England will always be in my heart.
i went to cornwall last year...omg...it is so beautiful
I’ve belonged here, always have and I couldn’t agree more
Why do I like this nerdy guy so much? He feels like a real friend.
He’s super genuine. As soon as we can clear the borders again we want to go down to the States and meet him.
Hello friendlier
I live in cornwall its a gorgeous place to live as long as our visiters treat it the same as we do it will stay gorgeous.
There was a really cool section of town I went to where they had a Tea and food place, that was like 4-600 years old, and I remember that when we parked down on the shore, we had to really keep track of the time because you would park down on the flat part of I guess what is basically the beach area, and if you didn’t get your car the tide would come in and wash your car away Which I thought was really really cool. Do you know offhand what area that might’ve been in Cornwall? I’m almost positive I’ve seen it once in a movie
I wanna go to there. I'm an agricultural engineer, and the countryside especially "Cornwall" makes me want to go even more. I love Great Britain and I cannot wait 2B there
As another local i agree
Does cornwall speak a celtic language
@@billyadams2651 some parts of Cornwall do and alot of people like to learn it and speak it but not everyone does!!
I heard about Cornwall from Poldark...Looks magnificent!! Grew up with pasties..The miners from the old country brought them when they came to work the slate mines in Pennsylvania.
was poldark real... i love that series
Surely by the time you get a Pasty from Cornwall to Pennsylvania it would be cold.
My Scottish grandfathers came over to Canada once the mines went dry but they did other work then. That was in the 1920’s.
Chris66able 😂
Chris66able Or the flight from Cornwall to Pennsylvania had you pasty!!😂🤣
As a proud resident of west Penwith, I must congratulate you on a wondeful and well researched video. Very enjoyable to watch - well done! Glad you featured Cape Cornwall as an alternative to Lands End (which we as locals regard with scorn - far too touristic.
I have been a regular visitor to Cornwall for 65 years. It is the only place I have ever felt at home. I nearly collapsed and cried after seeing what they had done to Lands End. I remember it as it originally was. Whoever allowed that to happen should have been hung drawn and quartered! I never go there now, and never will. Cornwall should always be left in it's natural beauty. I used to love going to Padstow, but now it feels like I am popping round to Rick Stein's place! He seems to have taken over half of it over the years. And he owns houses in Provence and Australia. I love watching the Obby Oss!
@@bobbybigboyyes I'm afraid it happens everywhere. I recently revisited a small country village that figured prominently in my childhood, and was appalled to find that the wealth of the community had been invested in turning a place of outstanding _natural_ beauty into a completely artificial environment; the heath had been groomed and all of the gorse bushes and tussock grass removed - it is now a manicured lawn. The woods were no longer ancient woodlands but were groomed, cultivated and manicured, with no fallen logs or trees - they were all removed as "hazards"; the main pathways covered with cinder, and the great Sycamore Trees of antiquity that ringed a small lake in the heart of the woods had all been so brutally pollarded that they are merely giant stumps, every branch having been removed - again, on grounds of "safety". And it wasn't tourists this time, it was affluent city-dwellers taking over local parish councils and using their status to impose this bourgeois regimen on their local environment.
You live in a very beautiful place. I never thought about going to the UK but since my Scottish dad died in 2012, I have felt the draw to go visit. Hopefully sometime down the road. 😊
bobbybigboyyes Thats too bad. I’ve never been but right away felt that it was too touristy and didn’t like the fast pace. 😔
@@bobbybigboyyes A few "Brown Envelopes" must have passed under the Desks of the Councilors 😉Totally agree with you
I'm 14 and from Vietnam, i love traveling so much but now I can't do that, I've watched your channel since last year and exciting by your journeys . Thanks for your useful and meaning channel a lot, I hope I can meet you someday. ❤
Nhật Quỳnh as soon as u can go for it :)
@Michael Walton thanks, wish best for you in this time ❤
Hello Vietnamese brother .
@@paulbucklebuckle4921 hi 😀
Rick Steves is the man... I remember watching most of these years ago till I was sick of them... now I'm appreciating them all over again... I love his shows.
I'm australian but a lot of my family ancestry is from cornwall..... such a fanscinating area so rich in history.
Yes. I m breton from france and cornwall is also our ancestry. We speak practilly same celtic language but we are 3,5 millions . Historians found same tools in stonehedge that in neolotic tombs in my country. Its was same folk during centuries before england and france take them .
Hello I come from Germany and I love Cornwall very much, it‘s so a wonderful country. I miss it.....I wish you good well soon, take care every time. I hope I can visit Cornwall next year again......Until i will see your videos about this wonderful history country, thanks for sharing with us........
I've been to every single location in this video. I'm 67 years young now and have probably spent almost 2 years of that time holidaying there. Tis Heaven on earth!
Pasties are a common food in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan due to Cornish immigration
That's awesome. I didn't know that.
And, in Butte, Montana, a long time center for hard rock copper mining.
Does they tastes good?
Pasties also common in the area of GB Pakistan with the name of "chhapsharo" without any migration from England. May be the area was previously the colony of Britain.
I’m a vegetarian, but I’m going to try making some. They look good.
Cornwall's beauty is mind blowing. I went along the north coast of Cornwall a few months ago and I absolutely loved it! Even in the rain 😄.
I live here and the weather is dog 💩
The Pirates of Penzance! That's where the name came from. Learn something new everyday.
I see so many comments regarding love, but honestly these moving songs cause a wave of nostalgia and realisation in me. I remember as a kid, I thought love was going to be this amazing thing. Truth be told, I looked forward to growing up, to find the liberty of life and have someone to share it with. But now as a young adult, I find myself wishing to be a kid. Funny how that happens. As a child, you wish to grow older but once you realise what a disappointment it is, growing up, you start longing for the past.
I’m in the same boat emotional wise. Being a kid was the best.
Hi Steves, could you please never end your channel? I love it so much!
Thu Ngo yes i agree
totally agree... pls keep up the good work in this channel, Rick!
Lands End didn't used to be touristy until an American company bought it and turned it into a tourist trap. I was stationed in the UK back in the late 70s 80s and 90s. Went to Land's End a few times and it was nice and remote you didn't have to pay to get into the place like you do now.
Actually it was Peter de Savary that ruined lands end. Before he got his hands on it, it was owned by a Cornish family and only had the first and last house on it. Have so many happy memories of days out there as a child, exploring and watching lizards, dragonflies and the likes... Hate how my beloved Lands End has been raped by the Tourist Industry. :( Much like many other parts of my beautiful birthplace...
I’m from Colorado. I’m afraid any place with something worth seeing, has become overtaken by tourism in some form or another. It’s unfortunate. But I think it’s a byproduct of the life most of us lead anymore. We have more time, money, and understanding to look for places to visit all over the world.
Yeah I only went once a few years back. Almost felt a bit theme park like.
Never had to pay when i went to Lands End, somebody is making money out of it now.
That’s the problem right there. Why do countries sell pieces of itself to other businesses to turn it into a tourist trap? After Vancouver had the Expo in ‘86, all the land that it sat on was sold to a buyer from Japan for a fraction of what it was worth and then that Japanese company built very expensive condos and made major $$$$$$. Crazy!!🙄
For anyone who has never been to the UK, Cornwall is where our Seas are Bluey Green, Were we have Big Waves and Great White Sharks live.
we have no great whites weirdo
The seas off Cornwall are mostly grey, and great white sharks do not come that far north. Other types of shark are quite common, though.
@@jdb47games He's probably getting mixed up with Basking Sharks ☺
Great white sharks😭👏👏 stop snorting the white stuff buddu
The Tourism Board will love you two @@jdb47games
My great great grand dad Robert Williams Worked in the mines of Cornwall and then came to the U.S. around 1864 to work in the nickel mines near Paradise Pa.
From Cornwall to Lancaster County! What a fascinating life.
Amazing, I came here because I red an article talking about Real del Monte on Mexico and I red that miners from Cornwall arrived at Real del Montes and they brought their gastronomic pasty and football and some building looks like Cornwall’s towns, wow I love to know now the influence of England in my country, thank you for the video.
I grew up & lived on the western edge of Dartmoor for 40 years. I worked & holidayed in Cornwall so much. when the weather is like it was for Rick there is nowhere finer for a British holiday. I heard that when dolphins play in the cove at Minack, they stop the show !
Many Cornish miners moved to the silver mines of Mexico in the 1870's and 1880's. Today you can find their green eyed, red haired descendants eating Cornish pasties with tiny bits of jalapeno peppers to liven them up, in the town of Pachuca, Hidalgo.
They took their skills to all corner's of the globe, and were highly rated.
Susan Sisson, as a Cornish woman I can assure you that green eyes and red hair is a Scottish gene and it is in Scotland you find this anomaly. The Cornish do NOT have this trait.
Rubbish... it's a Celtic thing.. I have auburn hair that goes red in summer... As do nearly every single person in my family. Six of which have blazing red hair with green eyes. Apart from my daughter who has blonde hair in summer and light brown in winter, with green eyes. She takes after her father who's family is Nordic by decent.
There is NO Celtic blood in Cornwall. Nor anywhere in the isles.
Celtic blood? It's been proven NOT to exist in the isles.
There is no such thing.
The Celts were Indo-Europeans not indigenous peoples of the isles.
The Cornish are Britons, not Celtic.
They may have embraced Celtic art, but there are no blood lines.
Truly beautiful !! I love the sense of history found in England.
Cornwall is not English, though the English rule it.
@DeerInWinter Devon is not Cornwall.
I only get to see England during my childhood in the late 50s in sembawang naval base Singapore the landscape looks as if it in England growing rows casuarina tree. Now I'm 65 my dreams haven't come true yet. I'm A British influence!!!
Muhammad.....remember Sembawang well ,was a young sailor at HMS Terror,early sixties,next village down if I remember was Neesoon (forgive spelling) always got a "Banjo" in Sembawang before returning to base after a night in Singapore City.A Banjo is a long bread roll filled with all sorts of good food,never asked what was in it....haha.
My dad was in 42 Commando, during the Indonesian Confrontation. I lived in Singapore in the early 60s and came back to the UK after 3 years (aged 3 1/2). We said goodbye to our amah and I cried because I thought she was my sister.
To me, England was a strange, unknown, far away land.... We arrived in the middle of the coldest, snowiest winter for decades....Culture shock! 😄
You're super, mate. Sort of Indiana Jones's more refined granddad.
Ha ha! I agree.
After watching this video I felt so much relaxed and feel much closer to New Zealand where I live. The rainfall in both of these countries makes them greener and beautiful with great people around
I'M from the place of what they called "Scotland of the East" in India, Meghalaya, Thanks for this truly mesmerizing video.
Never heard of that before???
I’m Cornish and you totally missed other amazing places like Falmouth, St Ives, Padstow and the Eden Project! Not to mention the Victorian village and Britain in the blitz at Flambards in Helston. There’s so so much more to Cornwall than Lands end and Tintagel!
Thanks I’m going to Google Map these and look them up on the internet. 😊
Also the Helford River with its associations with Daphne Du Maurier, Frenchman's Creek.
Relax it’s just a snapshot
not to mention the Lost Gardens of Heligan
Do you see yourself as English?
I live in Cornwall and im learning and really enjoying this. Thanks, you've really done your research
Nice vid. I am a retired mining engineer. Definition of a mine.... I think it was Mark Twain who said it was 'a hole in the ground with a liar at the top'.
Yes, Howard, that was the quote attributed to Mark Twain. A similar quote, author unknown, well known and used a lot in the 19th Century, was "Wherever you find a mine anywhere in the world, you'll find a Cornishman at the bottom of it." The pastie, self contained as it is, may have been the original miner's packed lunch. BY the way, wherever Cornishmen meet, they always address each other as Cousin Jack. It was too bad Rick didn't have time to cover the South coast of Cornwall, including the Lizard peninsula. Now that is truly beautiful.
RogerUSA Oh great!! A new place to Google Map. I love doing that all over the world. 😊
He was so right as well 😁
For American viewers, on the coast to the south-west of Dartmoor on the Devon side of the border with Cornwall is the city of Plymouth, where the Pilgrim Fathers sailed from. The city museum has had a big overhaul as well, and we go into the famous sea-fairing history of the naval port, along with the Pilgrim Fathers.
My family emigrated Ireland for central Victoria, Australia. It was a very Irish area, but the other big cultural group was the Cornish tin miners who were essential to Gold mining. The Methodist church a d Cornish pasties were very common and popular. Lots of my friends were of Cornish descent. We all got on really well
I smile and love everyones notes here. Love you England. How I wish I can visit the place to
Cornwall is so so Beautiful I'll walk for days.
👍
There are a lot of descendants of Cornish miners in California in places like Nevada City, and Auburn. I even ate a pastie there once!
That would be a pasty. Pasties are nipple tassels worn by striptease dancers.🤣
Oh yeah they are all over the place and in some FISHING VILLAGES in AMERICA people's still talk CORNISH its so weird listening to there accent..Lols
Rick what a lovely man you are, a sheer delight to listen to you. All the best
As someone who lived in ireland for 5 years and now living in usa
I visited england couple of tines and man it was majestic how i wish i can get back
Rick Steves you are like a uncle to us all
Countine making great videos
Best Place in England, lovely documentary, thanks guys 👊
oHHHH DON'T INFERE THAT IT'S PART OF ENGLAND---You'll start an insurection.
One of the most places I've been to. Unspoiled and gorgeous! I love Cornwall!
This was so good!
Probably one of the best documentaries on the extreme South-West I've seen, a large part of my ancestry is Cornish and Devonian, I have so much to see once I'm able to travel down there again!
A mine is a hole in the ground with a Cornishman at the bottom! truly brought tears into my eyes
England is so beautiful 😀 love from India 💓
that is Cornwall, not England.
@@SadaEKE it's Cornwall in England
@@sagartomar3461 Cornwall isn't English, pal. It's a separate nation like Scotland or Wales, with its own culture but England refuses to admit it.
@@thursoberwick1948 cultural differences isn't means that it has to be a different nation , every country has multiple cultures after 100-200 km it doesn't means they are different countries , India also have so many cultures still one nation .
@@sagartomar3461 The English ruled India, so India must be English. That is your logic.
Thank you for such wonderful footage of Cornwall. Thoroughly enjoyed it 😍
This was great, Rick, these areas Dartmoor and Cornwall are my playgrounds, and in my videos (which aren't as polished and educational as your own, but are becoming very popular) I have visited in my videos many of these locations. I am walking the entire southwest coast path, and exploring the 365 square miles of Dartmoor too. Its been fantastic to see you enjoying our fantastic landscape. Thanks for sharing!
I live here in West Cornwall and I love watching this video. I see these beautiful places everyday but videos like this remind me just how special they are for others and how lucky I am.
Even for those of us that have never been to Cornwall, it is familiar to us. Familiar from watching all the episodes of Doc Martin and Poldark on Masterpiece Theater on PBS.
Until a couple years ago I had no idea how beautiful Cornwall was, omg!
I miss my childhood county, a nice way to be reminded ....and more. Thank you kind sir.
-A delightful journey to a place my family and I visited in the 1990s. I remember, as sailors, we were startled to see all the fishing boats high and dry! "They're on the hard" was the explanation.
Rick Sterne is a perfect guide.
Part of the charm of his tours is hearing the local accents, particulatly in different parts of England.
My wonderful Cornwall, even with the rain. ❤️❤️
I love the way you pronounce Cornwall (Corn wall). And ‘skinny lanes’...loved it. Thank you.☺️
Great to have this splendid video clip.
It seems to have traveled with you from beautiful Cornwall.
Thank you for your job.
from Korea with an ovation
Britain's reputation for "boring food" comes from people who know nothing of Britain. US food has it's origins from other countries!
Yh their favourite food, burger and chips is a half German half Belgian meal
ii actually .love british dishes
It comes from American solders in WW2 when we had little food to eat and everything was rationed.
The untrue view of British food as being bland, stemmed from rationing during and just after WW2. There just wasn’t a large selection of foodstuffs to choose from and Brits had to make do. American soldiers came to the UK and came across the bland meals made from rationed ingredients, and assumed that British food was always like that. Rationing lasted till 1956, that’s how long it took for British farmlands to recover and the country returned to its wonderful food.
It is nice of you to dispel the falsehoods about British food and the bad press it has received. Thanks to you and many others for this endevour.
I’m half English and half Irish but born and live in Newfoundland. I hope to visit both places one day
Hello there, enjoyable veiwing n Very interesting good camera
Stunning scenery, great
Thank you for sharing your video cheers take care.
Gorgeous place! Can’t wait to visit again, hopefully soon.
Thank you for this glimpse of Cornwall. You did full justice to the many attractions of this beautiful County. Cornish Pasty is now a protected product in that it has to be made in Cornwall to be called that. Visitors to elsewhere in the UK may visit a Greg's Bakery (they are everywhere) and try a meat and potato pasty, a much loved and very tasty alternative
I think the rural areas of great britain is really beautiful. I hope someday i can travel all those areas and enjoy those pretty scenery
Really enjoyed countrysides of England like your other videos... Rick, you are a living legend. Hats off...
I would go here with my parents every year since I was a few months old... never missed a year until 2019, then pandemic, and now i haven’t gone down since 2018. Doesn’t seem like much but Cornwall has a special place in my heart, my parents are getting old now, and we would have been going in less than a month 😭
Very green and blue and yellow. Cornwall is simply a riot of colours and beauty wherever you look. And it got a great coast too.
Cornwall.....so beautiful.....go before it’s too late......you will love it all.
I love Cornwall so much can't wait to go there again
This video just makes me remember my childhood in Cornwall.
Its interesting to think how exotic cornwall may seem to some.
I wouldn't say exotic. As an american, I found that going to England was kind of like, culturally, going to my grandparents house. It didn't feel foreign or exotic per se, (like most of europe, or Asia would), since history of my country, Language, and of the whole democratic system of government, is so tied up with England.
Beautiful!
Lovely tour guiding Mr Tim Uff.
My Great Grandfather worked there and then came to Michigan USA to work the copper mines and found even worse conditions. I had tears in my eyes when I went on the tours and found out the working conditions that they went through. They were in debt when they got here and stayed in debt as long as they worked in the mines. Generations of our family was lost to these mines. I still find it so familiar that they left one peninsula to come to another. I still have family there although most moved to New Zealand. If the surname "Teddy" means anything to you please give me a shout.
Wonderful video...spectacular scenery!:)
it's a beautiful world. my country is but a child - Canada! thanks Rick. happy trails!
Rick, ou are a great presenter. Keep your good work for many many years to come.
It was so refreshing to visit Cornwall and try out surfing which I never tried before .Cornwall trip I miss the most
Great video. I love Cape Cornwall, we had our wedding reception in the golf club which looks out to the sea, and in true Cornish tradition it was terrible weather 😊
I visited Cornwall while I was living in England. It is absolutely gorgeous. Vivid green colors emerging from the endless range of cliffs, and vegetation, combined by the absolutely soothing sound of the Celtic ocean waves. Hoping to one day own a hamlet, perhaps in Cornwall.
Sorry know this is a late response, but ‘own a hamlet’?! A hamlet is a small village, not just a cottage.
Just simply beautiful all the way around. I would love to visit. Cheers from Austin, Texas (USA).
My great great grandads family - the Gray's - came to New Zealand in the mid 1800s... they came to Wanganui where my great great grandfather married a Maori chiefs daughter... so we are Maori of Cornish/Norwegian ancestry... and we all grew up knowing the old sayings and language of Cornwall. Every bakery shop in our city sells my favorite Cornish pasties. ❤
Just beautiful 🇬🇧✌️
This video doesn't do Cornwall justice; it leaves out some of the prettiest, most scenic parts.
@Simon P Watergate Bay in Newquay is potentially one of them.
@Simon P Watergate Bay in Newquay is possibly one of them.
My memories of going to Cornwall 65 years ago.The heavenly pasties,cream, fish and beauty.
Cornwall is my memory fall back to , beaches, sea , fun, waves, food, rock pools, the journey, surfing, the language, hot sun , pounding rain, cobbled walk ways in tiny towns
Cornwall, my home and safe place!
Cornwall is amazing, and we're proud to live here! Great episode.
Hai, I am an Indian and I was selected for a job at Exeter. Could you please tell me about the city, about average cost of living for a couple?
It's a real pleasure to look at your reports. Really, really wel done. Thank you very much (and please do continue on that way !).
Just came home visiting family in Cornwall. Beautiful place and the food is stunning. Late october and i was on a beach in st ives in just shorts, the weather was warm but wet at times.
thank you ,for your documentary..
If you come to Cornwall, give Lands End a miss. The Lizard is the most southerly point, not as touristy and if you're lucky you might see a Chough. Also Anne's famous pasty shop does indeed sell excellent pasties. Avoid anything connected to Rick Stein. To its credit this is an intelligent documentary and he's right about Penwith. I don't think Geevor was the last mine to close, though. South Crofty only stopped working in March 1998, 8 years after Geevor.
I totally agree, The Lizard is amazing, we spent a gorgeous holiday there. Wouldn't go to Land's End a second times.
fatbelly27 true true true and true. Lands end is such a money pit
Spot on.
Yes I’ve seen a few hairy choughs down there!
With the rise of tin prices, is there any chance some of these mines might reopen? Tin isn't found in many places in the world, and Cornish tin was supposedly one of the purest deposits in the world.
Great job as always! Very inspiring and evocative. Makes me want to dash out to visit these places right now.
I came across this channel by chance. It is so lovely. Everything about this channel is beautiful, music, camera, story, voice. Thanks a lot Mr. Rick Steves. Bon voyage.
Cornwall (Kernow in our language) may be geographicaly attached to england with its northern boundery marked by the Tamar river ...But make no mistake, it is not England. Rick Steve would not dare to say "Englands Cornwall" to a Cornishman.
Wow - i had no idea some people felt this way.Then again based on history - the English conquered many lands but the locals often had to adapt to them , not the other way around - regardless of location this was their pattern. Not always a bad influence in the lands they conquered but not always sensitive to the needs of the locals i felt.
"it is not England."
Oh, yes it is ! Don't be so silly.........................................
Cornwall is beautiful. I am a from the Belgian Celts, I like Celtic Britain.
Bruno Pinkhof did you work in a mine too?
South-East England?
Bruno Pinkhof Cornwall is in South West
Hi Rick, Thanks for the beautiful show. Keep it up.
Rick is the best even if you cant get there .. in better times took my mum wjo ld been evacuated there back and we stayed in a tiny cottage in Mousehole out of season..bought fish straight ftom the sea abdeven journey down in train was riveting. She loved every moment. Sadly she s now in a care home at 86 with some kind of dementia but recalls everything still... i used to get us fresh scones and clotted cream for bfast from tiny shop a yard away.. and opened window to the sea..
We just came home from England and I want to go back now to see this part of the Country. Beautiful.
Jrprez22 and
God bless you sir i hope it was a warm welcome
Cornwall is not English
@@jogolock1190 It's very English.
Some people in Cornwall like to think they are special and unique when they are in fact another generic part of southern England.
