- Where do you find poppies in the UK? Where is Pentire? When is the best time to visit Pentire poppy fields?
In our video today we reveal how to find one of the most 'instagram'able fields in the UK. Tourists flock from far and wide to a cluster of fields on the north coast of Cornwall to admire and photograph the spectacular but short-lived display of field poppies.
Owned by the National Trust, the fields provide a stunning display for a month every year. Social media posts of this area abound as locals and tourists alike come to enjoy the sight of red poppies against the blue sea. At sunset the warm glow of the Cornish sun bathes the poppies in an ethereal light, making photos sing.
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film 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.

As a blue badge disabled driver with a camper-van as a daily driver, I do find it very hard to park in most places due to height barriers 😢 ANPR I can deal with but I wish councils would stop putting height barriers on virtually every car park. Thank you for giving us an alternative at the pub. It’s been an awful spring, weather wise I’m not surprised the poppies aren’t out yet.
I grew up living just outside Newquay. I'd only heard about the poppies about ten years ago. If you had gone in the 1970s and 80s, you would have had the place to yourself. Nobody every mentioned them to me, it was never a big deal. I've never been and I won't be going now due to the over-exposure of it. Tourists just don't care, they have no respect. They think the rules don't apply to them. Crantock and Perranporth is crowded and it isn't even summer yet! I'm really fed up with Cornwall now. Over tourism has totally ruined it. The folk of Cornwall can no longer enjoy it. They're still building houses with no infrastructure to support it in areas that are already unable to cope. We need to take the same stance as Spain and the Canary Islands and put a stop to over tourism and get it back to what it once was. Rant over!
I do hate seeing more and more people go every year. If they stuck to the paths it would be fine, but I bet they are all trampled flat before the flowers die naturally. Such a shame 😢 I’m local and won’t go, so I don’t add to the problem.
We travel just like you do around the UK regularly and are disgusted with the charges car parks are paying. Bearing in mind, many people who holiday in the UK can’t travel abroad. If you are a parent with children and are expected to pay £9+ a day to park it is becoming far too expensive.
No poppies, but beautiful sound of skylarks!
I remember when it was free to park in those car parks 🙂
My son did just this last summer(mid June 23) and came back with some stunning photos. No posing models or dancing dogs, just a carpet of red with polly joke in the background. Absolutely glorious.
What no poppies 🤷 🤔
You have so many beautiful flowering plants just growing wild along your coast. Not sure which is more fabulous, the flowers or the ocean view. I understand wearing red poppies is for remembrance, so I wonder if these were planted for this purpose. Here we have orange California poppies, which are a native wild flower. They bloom usually late February, and cover hillsides all over. Always a lovely bright surprise during a dreary time of year. Desert wildflowers are a sight to see as well, and we have the same problems with traffic, etc. due to seekers of the perfect photo op. I'm still excited by those glorious white dogwood roses. :)
Thank you for all the information you provide, especially car parks, toilets and cemeteries! Really enjoyed the last couple of minutes with the old footage and funky music, very soothing! You two are so creative and fun!
Thank you for another lovely and entertaining video 😁
I was wondering from our hotel room what is the fuss about a field of poppies!! We are driving up from the South of France now on our way to Cornwall and passing fields and fields of poppies like this.
Crantock beach has been my favourite beach for over 50 years...particularly low-tides early evening with the dog.
This is a lovely area. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Awesome job like and shared out in you tube community. ⌚
Fabulous scenery and you managed to find some SUN!!!! Wow, the sun is really in short supply so if I was a poppy I don’t think I would feel much like showing off just yet ha ha!!. Crantock and West Pentire are so pretty - it is the car paring that is spoiling everything this year. I have just paid £6,60 for 2 hours 20 minutes 2 weeks ago in Falmouth. Great information again Sarah and Andrew - I think that it is important to highlight incidental expenses when heading to Cornwall- Thanks to Cornwall County Council, groan!!
Did I hear Andrew say ''nice sunny day'' before stripping off!!!😄
It’s a lovely walk from Crantock to West Pentire. 👍 Great info on the car parks, walking routes and how to get to the Poppy fields guys! Thank you. Hope you enjoyed your day xx 😃👍
I’m not surprised poppies are not out it’s been too cold,even the ones in my south facing garden haven’t come up yet.but thanks for trying. Andrew made me laugh when he took his t shirt off 😂.
