SECRET COVE “Seaweed, Petticoats and Fannies!" A walk from Mawnan Smith to Bream Cove, Cornwall
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- In our video we follow a route created by ourselves from Mawnan Smith near Falmouth. We start in the village and use country lanes to walk to Maenporth Beach.
After exploring the beach, we head to Bream Cove, a private beach belonging to Meudon Hotel. The beach is secluded, quiet and stunningly beautiful. Although is is private the hotel does not mind the public using the beach.
With some gloriously interesting anecdotes and stories along the way, this is a stunning walk.
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!
We love your comments and read all of them. We also answer as many as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot answer comments received more than a week after publication.
Frequently asked questions:
What are your dogs called?
Sorry but we do not release the names of our dogs but perhaps you could make up a name for them!
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 three times. 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.

I am from Falmouth and was in Mawnan Smith during the war from 1941-1943. I have that book, and remember all the American troops doing their training all up the Helford! We ended up living at Swanpool.
I live in Canada (Ottawa), but returned to Cornwall many many times! You never get Cornwall out of your system!!
You can take yourself out if Cornwall but you can’t take Cornwall out of you! It becomes a part of you!! It’s definitely part of me! Sarah :)
I'm slowly catching up on your hundreds of videos. What a delight.
Thank you.
There are one or two!! Enjoy! Sarah :)
After talking about a 'fanny' your battery is about to run out! 😱 I laughed so much I cried!! 😂😂🤣😭 You just can't make this stuff up! 🤪 What a buzz! 🤪😂🤣
My family and I can't wait. We will be in Cornwall in less than 2 weeks from America. My wife and I love watching your videos.
We hope you have a fabulous time! Sarah :)
Brilliant video, has me in stitches with the ‘Fanny’ story, I even choked on my cup of tea 🤣😂
Lol! Just the response we were hoping for! He! He! Sarah :)
Just fabulous as usual Sarah and Andrew and another area that I'm not that familiar with. I was laughing so much when you were trying to give us your serious war story 🐾🐾😂.. just priceless 👌😁. I definitely join you with the mud waddle when walking muddy trails 😜... Glad the café was open for you 😋. Look forward to the next episode 🙏👌😁😘
Our cute little puppy just loves to dig! Sarah :)
A very interesting and fun walk guys, nice to see how well puppy is growing and like our spaniel loves to dig. The history is amazing and like the match with the Red lion pub, cheers Brian&Jane
Spaniels love to dig and pull on the lead!! LOL! Sarah :)
What a gorgeous place , even in the rain ❤
It truly is! And we get plenty of rain in Cornwall! Sarah :)
Love these walks with you both (and the dogs), thank you
Thank you! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah and Andrew. Thanks for another great video, both interesting and funny! Your beautiful dogs loved every minute - and "puppy" looks fully grown already!! He sure loves to dig!!😍
Puppy has had a trim and he’s shrunk! Sarah :)
Great video with a lot of fun and interesting facts as usual. Thanks Bob
Thank you! Sarah :)
Loved watching Sarah mud waddle lol. You guy's are so funny,.fun and endearing. Thanks for sharing your wonderful walks and adventures ❤
More Friday morning chuckles.😄Pity about the weather at the start. And once again the doggies are scene stealers!
loved you in Doctor Who, Colin
@@MegaVideoJames lol. My only claim to fame😂
They steal the show between them! Sarah :)
Hi. Your cornish walks are so relaxing and informative.
Im currently in a job i hate,and your videos are such a therapy to me,and help me so much, you wouldnt believe. Thank you once again
Oh gosh! We empathise as we are in jobs that we don't love and the channel is our fun times!! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails thank you once again for the really happy moments your videos give me. Cornwall is a second home to me
Absolutely love this video. So interesting and the views are fabulous. Love looking at your videos.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah and Andrew. I really enjoyed your muddy occasionally rainy walk. So much history the sound of the waves lapping on the beach and on top of that so peaceful and quiet. Dogs made it fun especially your puppy digging a Hugh hole near where you were sitting hope Andrew filled it in.
Yes! Our puppy loves digging! Sarah :)
Ah..you gave it away..Your doggies are called This one and That one🤣......I will keep it quiet...Enjoyed video.....🙂
😂🤣😂 muddy one and muddier one!! Sarah :)
Another great walk and video . Beautiful village and beach ❤. Muddy puppy dogs 🐶 🐶really enjoyed the walk 😂. You are showing us lots of places to visit when we are back down in Cornwall in June .🥰
Have fun! Sarah :)
DIG!!! :D I love the stories you collect, and it's so fun to see the places. Pitchforks and petticoats make a great tale! A particularly unfortunate English slang term here in the U.S. is the one for cigarette. (And I don't mean 'smokes'.) Hubby is a big WWII history buff, so I'll share this video with him. The bit about the seaweed was fascinating. Fewer and fewer people are around now who remember living through the War. My mom was seven years old, living in Los Angeles, and was terrified to wake up one night during a blackout. My grandfather was a Block Captain with the Civil Defense, and they had hardhats, shovels, and sandbags in their yard as after Pearl Harbor it was feared the Japanese would bomb Long Beach Harbor and nearby cities in California. Whether it was Napoleon or Hitler, it seems Cornwall was the first line of defense. You have a great history of brave people standing against the enemy. Thank you for sharing it. :)
You have interesting stories of your own. I never really thought that you guys would have similar experiences with blackouts and threats of invasion during WWII. Thanks for sharing! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails One difference is that the U.S. didn't join the War until after Pearl Harbor was bombed (Dec. 7th, 1941). I had a school friend (she was a very late baby; I'm not that old...my Dad went to Korea in 1953), whose Dad was in the Navy and actually stationed aboard one of the ships that was destroyed. He was on liberty and had spent the night in Honolulu, thus escaping the fate of his fellow crew members. In one of your videos you explore a lookout bunker by the coast. There are some here in San Diego as well, in the cliffs near the Cabrillo Lighthouse. My husband could talk your ear off about the Battle of the Pacific, Iwo Jima, etc. :0
Hi Both, great memories of Maenporth , in the far distant past we had our wedding reception at the beautiful Crag Hotel long gone
Lots of changes over the past few years, Sarah :)
Thank you to you both, another wonderful informative video. Coming down in August to a place I think you should remember Gorran Haven. If you fancy a meal out and a pleasant evening on me, let me know.
Regards Paul
Love Gorran. Sounds good!! If we are free, count us in! Sarah :)
Used to live up the road on the cliff. You always tell me stuff I knew nothing about. Thanks for the info. The paths are always muddy even in summer!
We just finished to watch the video that you guys are special guests and we couldn't resist to play the bodmin video to see the opening intro.....🤭
Love your video while I am recovering from my amputation I am doing some drawings of your walks
Wonderful! Sarah :)
With the amount of rainfall during March you were very brave with your walk in the ‘Lanes’ of Cornwall. However the reward was glorious with wonderful views of the coast and the sea. Mawnan Smith will never disappoint you it is full of History and character- another super video- well done to the 2 of you with your tails and information.
We had a great time! Sarah :)
Oh thats very nice, lovely. What a muddy walk that was! Still fun though 👍
Can’t let a bit of mud ruin the day! Sarah :)
I love your video's and I enjoy the walks around cornwall very much.
Someone I know lives in St Mawes, use to fly the rescue whirly bird out of Culdrose.
Another entertaining video guys, with some great facts about the area. It looked wet and muddy down some of those trails, but a good walk.
Glad to see Stuart who you captured on a bike at 16:15
I don't know why people find it so funny. My grandma was a Fanny. (TRUE!) ☺
😂 Sarah :)
Mud, glorious mud! What a wonderful walk for the spaniels too. x
Perfectly said! Never short of mud!!! Sarah :)
Lovely walk in spite of the weather 😁 I see that you Sarah, have the same walking style as I have on muddy paths 🤣 And I also get really dirty if the paths are dry, with dust all over my legs 😂 Great to get all this history and background added to the places I have visited. Thank you for a lovely Friday morning watching your walk 😊 Torunn 🥰
Hello Torunn, I call that the ‘mud straddle’! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails A very good name 🤣🤣Torunn 🤗
This is a pretty village to walk in. The boys had a blast getting all muddy. Thanks for this lovely walk.
Yes! Very muddy!! LOL! Got to have at least one muddy walk every winter! Sarah :)
This was so much fun! Thank you Sarah and Andrew. We really enjoyed this video. Such a beautiful area.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Sarah and Andrew … you two are such fun! Lovely video…your puppy is so big now….so happy to see your well. Ana🌷
Hello Ana, I trimmed our puppy this week - first trim! He’s so small now!! Sarah :)
Hello, I love all your videos. I moved to Cornwall 2 years ago & when friends come to stay we have started using your walks. My gentleman friend is coming again in 2 weeks & we will be trying this walk. As he, always, says, if you wait for it to stop raining in Cornwall you will never go out! Thank you for your walks again. ❤
Very true! It has rained all day today! Sarah :)
This happy fun video has made my whole weekend! (you'll now know the American name for bumbags). And thanks for braving the rain and all the muddy lanes to bring us another CWT gem. It must have been surreal for locals to have such an influx of American servicemen and all those coastal manoeuvres, but I guess they appreciated the importance of their presence. Totally agree with you Sarah about the soulless modern houses ~ at the very least you think they might have used some granite cladding on facades to tie in with local tradition. That was an impressive sea-glass haul! ~ beachcombing is just the best thing ever! (so missing Cornwall just now). Doggie junior makes me smile so much :)
A virtual dose of Cornwall! Albeit wet and muddy! Sarah :)
Thankyou for a lovely video …beautiful
Joy Thompson
You’re welcome! Sarah :)
Fabulous.
We were in Cornwall the last week in March , yes it was wet, but still worth it. The last time we were at Maenporth the cafe was a burnt out shell. Back in July, until then thanks for keeping us topped up with Cornwall.
Ahhh! Thank you! Sarah:)
Fannytastic!
Brilliant! 😂🤣😂
Beautiful part of the country, sure got some moves😊.
MSR make some quality tents,terra nova are good also but id keep clear of the terra nova lazer as its not so great in highish winds,in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing!
Looks better weather than we had at the end of March 😂 Another great video 8/10 on my mud scale.
We’re getting lots a rain at the moment! Sarah :)
In a reverse of the English/Yank language mix ups, my English mum when newly arrived in the States asked a hotel clerk to “knock her up in the morning” and my dad was horrified. 😂 Great video and we wonder if you have tarps or something in your car for the muddy dogs.
Oh how funny! That’s a brilliant example! Sarah :)
Another great video. Loved that reference to Mrs Jones bottom.
We chuckled when we read it! Sarah:)
Who knew?! Thanks for the language tip from a "Yank" viewer!🤭🤭🤭
Hilarious! Sarah :)
We do love your videos, we are using lots of your suggestions for our holiday this year!
Brilliant! Hope you enjoy the walks! Sarah :)
You two make me chuckle! I’ve literally just returned from a short break at Budock Vean near Mawnan Smith, and we walked the coast path to Maenporth, although it was a sunny but windy day. The scenery and beaches are amazing, I found some sea glass and will make it into a bracelet as a memento of this trip. We’re returning in a few months, so will try some more of your walks…greetings from Devon (second best county in the UK!)😂
Greetings to you in Devon! Love sea glass - bracelet sounds interesting! Sarah :)
Another beautiful village, great but muddy walks and wonderful local stories, I’ve very rarely seen Andrew lost for words except when he has a mouthful of muffin, that ticking off was hysterical Sarah 😂🤣😂🤣 talk about getting his knickers in a twist…correction petticoats, what a fantastic view of the ocean at the end of muddy lane, I’m trying to concentrate on your story Sarah but can’t watch anymore the dogs are killing me with their antics 😂🤣😂 will join you later when I’ve had a Latte and recovered my composure, or it could be next week 😅
I’m so glad we made you laugh! Our puppy always steals the show! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails I know he’s gorgeous, the pair of them are so entertaining, you all make a wonderful team, I did return after my Latte, to watch the ending it was a brilliant video, I don’t know what was funniest Andrews face after you scolded him or, the dogs antics 😂junior seems to be unusually obsessed with digging 😂🤣 bless him! maybe one day he will discover something really important 🤗
Another excellent and entertaining video in Cornwall. Thank you Sarah and Andrew. Just as a by Andrew, where did you get your waterproof jacket from?
FANNIES 😂
Do St Mawes to St Just In Rosalind Church.
We’ve already filmed that, although we did it in two parts. Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails - The church is amazing.
😂
I'm shocked because of the amount of vulgar language used on this channel! (wink, wink)
Lol! It made us chuckle! Sarah :)
What a lucky chap you are!
Fab dogs and a great companion.
A Cornish woman with a beautiful natural soul.❤
Hey and she laughs at your rubbish quips.😂
I took early retirement from the MOD for health reasons.
I visit all the places you've been to and Devon too.
It was interesting to see the American influence in Cornwall during the build up of DD and the liberation of Europe.
It was also the end of the British Empire.
The decades to follow changed Cornwall and the UK FOREVER.
EU, immigration and the migration of the property rich Londoners.😢
So thanks for your witty creations in God's country.
Reminiscing the truly good old days❤
Thanks for watching and commenting! Very interesting history in Mawnan Smith and local area. :)
