"Just how do you read that sundial?" City v. rural walk around Truro, Cornwall

- Due to a copyright claim, we have had to remove our titles and music, both at the beginning and end of this video. Apologies if it makes the video appear a bit clunky at the beginning.
In our video today we decided to follow a 5.5 mile circular walk starting at Truro Bus Station, taking us along the riverside towards Newham Quay, a place with so much history but so little evidence of it. You really need to keep your eyes peeled to find any scraps of what was once here.
We then pick up the disused Newham Railway line and we were immediately in a very rural setting, in complete contrast to the bustle of the city and industrial area.
Join us as we follow the track towards County Hall, explore an unusual feature of Kenwyn church and nearly get lost in a graveyard. On our return to the city it after closing time, and bathed in warm evening sunlight.
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!
Frequently asked questions:
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.
What is your dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

Wow! My home town has changed so much. I recall when the river ran right up Lemon Quay and the bus station was where Marks & Spencer etc is now. Across the quay (Back Quay) was the the BMC car dealer (HTP Motors) on the corner with Green Street. This is the same HTP as the converted building. My dad's office was 65 Lemon Street and my mum worked for the water company which had their offices in Pydar Street, down a bit from the library. As a kid at Penwether's CS School, we ran cross country along that lane behind County Hall. I remember it being built, too! I miss Truro. How things have changed...
Wonderful and stunning as always and the jokes are back! :) 😀
Hi Sarah and Andrew. Really enjoyed you walk around Turo country side. Live the contrast between city and countryside. Marie
oh what a nice hike around the city through nature on the old railway line like through a tunnel of trees back to the city with the great houses and the cathedral. Thank you for the nice video. Stay healthy, best regards Günte
Thank you again for a lovely walk around Truro. In Cape Cod , Massachusetts USA there is a town called Truro where my mother fell in love with the huge sand dune bluffs over looking the sea! A memorable vacation when I was around 7 years old. 🥰😊❤️
Thank you for another walk beautiful Autumn 🍂 day Truro great scenery
Thank you for the walk Sarah & Andrew, that's one for next year all ready. Love railway walks as they are not as steep for my 80 yr old legs!
Another fantastic walk, thanks Bob
I know this market well and you captured the atmosphere beautifully, Geoff. Also pleased to see the 'MUSEUM' sign still there; I painted this 30 years ago!
Interesting video, and a lovely walk which I've done myself a couple of times. Wondering walking along the
A fabulous walk again from you both and again, such interesting facts too 👌. My hubby still works for Cornwall Council, so I'll ask him if he knows about the concrete cancer. Love your book with all those bits of information on the churches 👌. Well done with finding those graves...you are experts at that now I feel 😉. The history on the Cathedral and the previous church was so interesting as well as the first stone layed by the Prince of Wales... typical that it was being hidden by a great big ugly sign 😋. I'm definitely going to be more observant when I go to Truro in future...thanks again for another brilliant walk 😁👏💝😘
We love to visit Truro and of course the Cathedral, when you come out side you can pick up your pasty from Warrens .
