ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ค. 2021
- A weekend enjoying the epic coastline in Cornwall, one of the UK's top holiday spots.
I spent the weekend in the village of Boscastle with my mum. We used this as our base for walking the South West Coast Path.
On the first day we walked from Widemouth Bay back to Boscastle via Crackington Haven.
On the second day we walked from Port Issac back to Boscastle, via Port Gaverne, Tregardock Beach, Trebarwith Sand and Tintagel Castle - the birth place of King Arthur.

Karl's mom is such a sweetheart. Looks like a great hike. Has me wanting to visit the UK for the first time.
She’s the best 😊
hey, I hope you keep making your travel docs man. I binged HKtoNY again in my yime of need during the pandemic as well as your Switzerland, Everest, Australia, and NZ vids. Amazing work! 🍻
Karl’s mum is my hero. I want to be her when I grow up.
@@joshblumer2624 will do for sure mate, just wait til you see what tours we've got lined up for the next year :)
@@karlwatsondocs looking forward to it!
Tears in my eyes watching this, we will be meeting our son in august after a long 4yrs of not seeing him. Will be in Dorset and surrounding area’s for a whole 21 days. Just booked a beautiful cottage today. We’re the other side of the world, long trip to plan now. So enjoying watching you with your mum. Wonderful programs, thank you.
Man I can’t thank you enough for your videos!
I’ll hope you do this forever 🙏
Me too 😉
This weekend breaks series has been excellent. Really enjoying seeing parts of the UK I never heard of.
Cheers Adam 👍
Your mum is so lovely and very active! Amazing!Dorset is so beautiful ❤
My feelings are the same - mum is lovely
Your mom is very lovely and I enjoy to see you spending time with your mother…. God bless 🙏🌺
Thanks 😊
Mum is a natural TH-cam star! Really enjoyed this video man, you’ve gotten so good at production.
Thanks very much :)
Can't believe I'm only watching this now. Im so glad you enjoyed Cornwall! My home town is Newquay. And I'm glad you chose Korev lager. These films are so motivating for me to get out hiking again ❤️
The men at the end singing made me miss home 😭❤️
Hi Karl, love your videos. I think , your mom beats you in hiking, hahah I really like her🌺
You brought the south east Asia feel to peaceful Cornwall 🤣🤣🤣brilliant ❤️❤️thanks vibrant upbeat mum 😘😘
Hi Karl,
Another gem episode of hiking and walking. Thanks for making us experience a beautiful and breathtaking sunset at Bosscastle. The entire ambience of sunset was so beautifully captured by you in your classic style of you, beer and sunset....reminds me of you sitting on a bench in Wengen last year and enjoying the sunset over the Alps....last but not least your mom is a real life inspiration and a symbol of life and energy.
Thanks very much Partha :)
UK is so beautiful.
What a lovely video! Change of pace in comparison to your overseas trips. Gorgeous countryside, coastline - lush & fresh:-) Felt for you when going into that cold sea! Your Mum when she says 'my calves feel alright' :-).
Haha she killed it 😊
awww that's lovely to hike with mom. Thank you Karl. That's so sweet.
Hi Karl, a YT friend (Akin Oshoko) just tipped me off about your channel. Great to see you in my neck of the woods (I live in Bude) here. Thoroughly enjoyed this trek along very familiar (for me) territory with your Mum. My hobby in retirement is filming local beauty spots in north Cornwall and Devon with a drone and I have a lot more locations lined up for the summer. New subscriber (Paddy).👍👋😊p.s. Widemouth is pronounced Widmouth.
Beautiful hike, and nice to see your mum. Great Video!
Thanks 😊
Your mum is so lovely nice to see you spent the weekend with her. Very nice
You captured that sunset perfectly. Stunning! Can't wait to hear the tours you have planned. Finally some normality coming back to life.
We’re getting there 😊
Beautiful! Never even had the UK on my bucket list before this! Love that you are doing this with your mom! Its very sweet.
Cheers :)
I love your Videos because they are not wishy washy , you are Authoritative as well as Mindful about your choices , Having Done some Travelling Myself , I had never had any fun except if it was in situations like you recommend, Glamour does leave behind a lot of pain , luxury does not mean happiness , but seeing you truly happy amongst happy people , exploring places in the world worth preserving , and making good friends while at it , is the true meaning of exploration , I wish I could meet you one day , I am sure we would get along and be good friends !
Karl drinking a beer watching the sunset
Me: I think I saw this one before
*uploaded five minutes ago*
Haha yep make a joke about that in the video 😊
@@karlwatsondocs teaches me for not waiting for the video to end before commenting! 😂
Happens all the time 😉
@@karlwatsondocs honestly though Karl this is such a good episode. I’ve been to Cornwall a few times but never to the places you showed. You captured it so beautifully! The waves breaking against the cliffs, the dramatic rise and fall of the coastline, it was great. I started settling into it like I do with your series around the world, but then it was over! Can’t wait for the next episode.
P.S. Mrs W is a hiking machine. I would die trying to keep pace with her!
@@havisiting Thanks :)
Sweet bonding of Mother and Son 😍🥰❤️💖
How i wish i could experience like this 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
The view of the sunset with the waves crashing against the rocks is magical!
This was such a beautiful video Karl, thank you for sharing your country with us. Legs looked great too. 🦵☺
I loved every second of this video! Cornwall is my favourite place on the planet and you captured everything I love about it! xx
Thanks very much! :)
love this series so much as a fan of the British isle. Please do more weekend getaway in Britain!
breathtaking view🥰
Great places in GB! I have never visited till today. 🧡
Who know england is gonna be the next summer beach vacation hotspot
Don't rely on the weather ;)
awesome, great quality again and nice scenery :)
Thanks :)
Beautiful!😎
Very Nice. Thank You.
Love how you travel with your mum, I've seen a few videos where you have shown pics of your travels together when you were younger. You can see where you get your love of hiking and ethical travel. She seems like an awesome lady.
Thanks Craig 😊
Best one yet of the UK series iny opinion man. That sunset footage! 😍
Cheers John, yeah it’s my favourite so far 😊
Nice part of the UK Karl, cannot wait for the boarders to fully open, having just come back from Majorca I fear it may be a little while longer. Stay safe mate and great content as ever.
Cheers Geoff 👍
Does make you think why we all wish to travel abroad so much at the moment when we have such beautiful places on our doorstep...me included. Great vid as always mate 👍
Cheers mate. I’m still dying to travel abroad though 😉
"My calves are fine" 🤩😂
Superb burn from mum
Watching this on a weekend..and made me realise - life is short, gotta plan a trip to Cornwall with my parents and family soon. Thanks Karl for yet another brilliant video!
Cornwall is great for it's little micro climates like that wooded area in the valley on the coastpath. Great video Dude showing the world this beautiful part of the UK, very lucky to call Cornwall my home. And your mum is awesome keeping you going on 1 of the hardest sections on the SWCP 😎👊🏻👍🏻
Cheers Aiden appreciate it :)
I just purchased my first car, and I'm looking to travel to all these amazing places. Thank you so much. This is such a high quality content!
Thanks! 😊
Just finished binge watching your UK Weekend Break videos. Enjoyed all of them--thank you.
Cheers George 😊
Such a stunning part of the UK
Another home-grown epic! Really nice job capturing the hidden secrets of that part of the Cornish coast :D
Thanks Dave 👍
Great sights and sounds. Scenic naturally beautiful part of England is a must visit. Great upload.
Thanks 😊
10 months of the year, Englands just a windswept grey rock, at the mercy of the Atlantic Ocean. A couple of months of the year, it becomes one of the most hospitable and beautiful places on the planet.
I’d say its more like 11 😉
I visited Boscastle and Tintagel once. It was lovely. If I could I 'd really wanna take a walk along anypart of the southwest coast.
I so enjoy that you and your mother can still happily go on holiday and enjoy the experience,
Once again your video captured the essence of coastal walking on a good day, Not so pleasant when it is wet though. Brings back memories of walking part of the Sth Wales costal path around St Davids.
As per usual the quality of your editing is really good and the food, as usually is in Cornwall, of a good standard.
Thank you for reminding me of the Joys I now miss. Maybe one day my legs might allow me to totter along such routes. I think these mini-series show us how lucky that we live in a land of such beauty,
Cheers Paul :)
What a beautiful place. I hiked with my mom as young as I can remember. She was always into health and fitness and healthy food. We'd spend a lot of time on the beach too, especially on Coronado Island. So many of your adventures bring back wonderful memories for me:-) My father is the one who was into travel. I inherited my love of travel from him:-)
Great video Karl. James must have drank a lot of those magic potions, lol. The new camera is amazing! Looking forward to the next video! :)
Haha cheers 😊
I had no idea you could surf in the UK! Cornwall looks beautiful!
Thanks for sharing the amazing video!!
All is right with the world Karl is back sharing his adventures ..
Good job mate as always ..
Cheers Greg 😊👍
Breathtaking place, love it!
Thanks 😊
It's lovely that you went with your mum 👍 great trip...
Thanks 😊
Love that you’r hiking with your mom! And exploring your home country (as so many do now)! As travel-lovers you just want to see the world, bit we alwyas forgett our home country! I live in Sweden and it as a country has so much to offer in terms of hikes and outdoor life! ☺️
Had no idea England had Caribbean blue water looks awesome!
Watching your vlog from philippines
Always loved your backpacking videos and it is so awesome to see you do some more local based adventures. Love your style of video and it is a great idea to highlight weekend away spots. I think this series can be a big help to people wanting to make the most of this summer
Thanks very much Josh 😊👍
Watched this with my friends and now we are planning our trip to Tintagel and Boscastle. They loved your videos, binge-watched some of your amazing travels over the weekend. Thanks Karl! 🎉 Looking forward to see the Peak National District. ☺
Thanks Natasha 😊
Loved this! Especially seeing where you stayed and ate. Loved the pub singers. Makes me want to visit England again and finally get to the south coast. Of course loved seeing your Mum enjoying the walk with you.
Thanks Norma 😊 yeah only just caught the pub singers as we were leaving. Thought “why weren’t they doing this yesterday when my proper camera wasn’t packed away” 😉
Hi, good to see you again. Last vlog you did that I watched was filmed in the Philippines. Thanks for doing this Cornwall trip. We're supposed to do a UK road trip including Cornwall this August but I guess it's not gonna happen, no thanks to Covid. Looking forward to more travel clips from you. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thanks, plenty more on the way 😊
@@karlwatsondocs I'm quite new to your channel and just saw your awesome vlogs on Botswana and Namibia from 4 years ago. Wow, such amazing adventures and your footages are really amazing! It made me sad though, having to cancel our 2020 trip to Namibia/Botswana/Zambia due to the pandemic😥 I really miss traveling but thankful that there are travel vlogs like yours to enjoy and get ideas for my future trips😀
Great promo for this little part of E. Especially the sunset part w/beer was really charming. Great work as always.
Cheers Johan 😊👍
Fantastic Karl was in Cornwall in July 2018 loved every minute of it well done as usual
@@lizkiernan9775 thanks :)
Loved it so much ❤️
Thanks :)
Your mum’s face with that breakfast - brilliant! Some great footage on your drone as well during sunset, just makes you want to be there……which ironically is the actual point! 😂 Nice work pal.
Haha cheers buddy :)
Cornwall.. definitely on my list to visit. Beautiful place! Thanks for the inspiration mate! 👍
Cheers mate. You’ll have to check it out next time Bryan does a gig at the Eden project down there
These videos are great. Will be a great resource when travel starts picking up a bunch next year. Cornwall is definitely going on the travel list now.
Thanks Nat 😊
whow there is more to the UK than London = awesome!!! luv the country side (and of course the beers!)
There's more to every country than just their capital city :)
Absolutely beautiful! Great film! You've certainly inspired me to revisit Cornwall. I really enjoy watching your trips, helps survive travel deprivation. Thanks!
Thanks 😊
Beautiful adventure. The fish looks so yummy.
The National Trust or English Heritage should sponsor you to do these walks, promoting our "green and pleasant land!" 23:38 ouch: sunburnt collarbone!
Yeah I only ever get sunburnt in England cos I never expected the sun to shine 😂
Great video! I hope there will be a sequence of Carl Watson and his mother on the South West Coast Path. There are hundreds of miles left to explore.
I live in Widemouth - it’s pronounced Wid-muth! Great video 🤙🏼
Haha yep you're the second person to correct me on that ;)
Cheers, Karl! 🍺
Cheers 🍻
Saw Cornwall in the movie 'about time'
Awesome good timing 👍🤣😀
Haha enjoy mate
Great video, looking forward to hearing about the tours 😊
Can’t wait to tell everyone what we’ve got lined up 😊
@KarlWatson, Thank you for creating these videos at your nick of the woods. I’ll visit the UK 🇬🇧 someday. Loved ur Mom. She’s cool. Watched ur HK2NY retrospective videos as well. I can’t get that intro music 🎶 out of my head 😂. Great job 👏 Karl. It made sense when ur musician friend saying it’s Hongkong2, NY then repeat hahahah
Haha cheers, thanks for watching all the videos 😊
@@karlwatsondocs BTW, Beautiful sunset Karl. Just like the Philippines 🇵🇭.
Taking notes! Great video Karl!
Cheers mate :)
Man I miss traveling...this was another awesome video! really well done
Thanks very much :)
Have you seen the PBS series Poldark? Setting is Cornwall after the revolutionary war. Loved the video! Love all your videos, in fact. Been binging them all this week. :-))) You're very talented. And also very handsome, which is always pleasant to watch ha.
Good work mate. Keep it up!! Love your vids.
Thanks 😊
Boscastle is my local fishing spot - 30mins away from where I live (I was fishing there in late June) and just FYI Karl it’s pronounced Wid-e-mouth lol.
Haha good to know. Had a feeling I’d pronounce at least one of the places incorrectly 😉
Class 👍
Cheers 👍
Awesome vid Karl, made my week mate 😊. Watching this on my phone with a beer on my verandah in Queensland Australia after is been pissing rain for three days, can’t believe there’s more sun in Cornwall than there is in the sunshine state of Australia 😂.
Haha it’s raining today, it didn’t last 😉
Just gotta enjoy it while you’ve got it aye. As long as I’ve got some beer and TH-cam when the weather is shit I’m sweet 🍻😊
Great relaxing walk episode, I've been to Cornwall once for 4 days, had four days of rain, so didn't have as fond memories of it haha but I know how beautiful it can be so will definitely be going back again one day.
Haha yeah we were super lucky with the weather
wow it's so beautiful there :0 also, great video once again!!
Thanks 😊
Lay up btw 🤘
Absolutely stunning film Karl. Thank you for creating such lovely videos of different parts of the UK! BTW, why do the British love walks so much? 🤣
Thanks! Didn’t realise we were known for walking any more than other nations 😊🤷♂️
20:04 - Yeah, reminds me of a couple' days ago... Went on a little spontaneous hike and just arrived on top of one of the peaks. I wanted to sit down for a moment and have a nice break.. and when I grabbed onto the bench before sitting down, I reached right into one of those little buggers. It was stealthily winding its way up to the underside of the bench and I didn't notice! 😁 Holding my smartphone or my camera was a tad uncomfortable for the next 20 minutes, haha. The one time I didn't have to sneeze constantly due to allergies I have to do that instead.. 🙃
Anyway, a really cool walk you did there! Hiking along a coastline is always a great time. Guess I gotta write this trail down somewhere, just in case I ever take a ferry over to good ol' England~ Would be a waste not to check it out.
They’re sneaky bastards aren’t they 😊
❤️ As usual.....
Thanks 😊
@@karlwatsondocs it's a thanks to you... For giving us the contents.
Go pro OR dji action camera? What do u suggest???
Another great vid! Love the sunset segment around 16/17 min mark. Great videography and music backdrop. What is that song, btw?
Thanks! The track is called ""Daydream in C for Guitar" by Eric Kinny
@@karlwatsondocs Thanks, Karl.
Your mums well fit mate
I'm so pleased I've found your channel, it's proving very helpful for my own trip planning. I'm off to Devon and Cornwall for a couple of weeks this summer and unlike you, I'm very much into hiking, want to hike parts of the SW coastal path but wasn't sure about how to get back to the start as circular hikes seem few and far between. I made a note of that bus number 😉 Also smart to get the bus out and walk back - don't want to get stranded at the other end! 🤣
I love hiking! :) Yeah getting the bus and walking back is a good idea, or when my mum did the whole route, she'd drive to one place, walk for 2 days from one B&B to another, then get taxi/bus back to where she parked at the start
@Karl Watson: Travel Documentaries Oh, well that's embarrassing as I obviously misheard you as I thought you'd said you weren't overly into it 🤦♀️🤣 Oops! I think I'll end up doing something similar-ish to your mum with parking up the car somewhere as we're staying a bit more inland (am a teacher so can only travel at peak times and coastal accommodation in the summer holiday's is eye-wateringly expensive!)
Yeah I dread to think how much the accommodation will be! Good luck with the trip 😊
😎
Quality mate. One thing though - buy yourself a wetsuit next time!!
May I request Pembrokeshire for a vid idea whislt international travelling prospects remain bleak?
Or just wait til the next day when it's sunny? ;)
Yeah I wanna do some of Wales as part of this series, will see when I get round to it...
I commented on one of your videos about a year ago,it was the one where u were out in Jordan i think at that amazing place where that scene from Indiana Jones was shot.Funnily enough,i live in between Tintagel and Boscastle in a small hamlet called Trethevy,ive lived here most my life.Small world,i just put a short 2 minute video on my channel of Long island which is situated on the coastline between Tintagel and Boscastle.Have a look when u get chance.Keep up the good work,all the best :)
Cheers Ryan, would’ve walked right passed you 😊 will have to check out the video
