Pilchards and Shipwrecks! Virtual, step-by-step dog walk Mullion Cove to Predannack, Cornwall
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2021
- Join us as we walk along the South West Coast path from Mullion Cove to Predannack, Cornwall. Useful for exercising on a treadmill or exercise bike or simply for relaxation.
It is our ambition to walk the entire Cornish coast path as virtual walks and stitch the videos together as a single playlist so that you can enjoy the coast path whenever you wish.
Mullion Cove was once a hive of activity landing pilchards which were then salted and stored for the winter. Pilchards passed the Cornish Coast in shoals of many tens of thousands and were a staple part of the Cornish diet 150 years ago.
The cliff climbs steeply to about 200 feet above sea level and the views are spectacular. From this height is was possible for the huers to spot the shoals of pilchards and send up the cry. The fishing rights were owned by the local landowners and the coast was divided into lanes or stems. In this video we cross the old boundary hedge between two estates, defining one fishing boundary.
With such a rugged coastline and ferocious winter storms, this area has seen its fair share of shipwrecks, with men scrambling up the cliff face in fear of their lives. This video ends at Predannack and we will pick up the cast path to Kynance in our next video.
We intentionally do not talk when filming these videos so that you can enjoy the sounds of nature without disturbance.

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.

Wonderful 👌😁😍😘
Thank you! Cheers! Sarah :)
Thanks for an pleasant virtual walk. I enjoy the crunch-crunch-crunch of your rhythmic steps on the gravel paths. Thanjs also for the periodic labels that inform as we go.
We find it quite soporific, the rhythm is very relaxing! Sarah :)
Lovely walk 🥾
So beautiful guys
Nice to see your daughter home from uni & walking with you & your faithful doggy friend in this one. Long walk for sure.... although the sign said 2 miles it felt a lot longer! You are blessed with having such lovely local walks on your doorstep to chill out. x J x
It was a very pleasant walk, although a little long - and then we had to walk back again!! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Indeed, when you all take a walk, you don't waste any time! I'm totally in-step with JB's comment. Oh, to have such landscapes surrounding me when I head out for a stroll! I could even be enticed to go the extra mile, probably not even noticing additional exertion given those views. Regardless, I've recently resumed low-impact exercise while running errands. When taking public transit, if destination not too far away, I'll ride bus/train there, then walk home, or vice-versa.
thanks for the beautiful pictures, I'm already looking forward to the next hike to Kynance cove we walked the route on our last vacation from Kynance cove. stay healthy Greetings Günter
Loving this from America.....
this is the corniche landscape, I've seen half of the hike and am looking forward to the other half for breakfast tomorrow. stay healthy Greetings Günter
Enjoy! Sarah :)

How incredibly stunning, Thank you
That was a walk and a half: beautiful scenery on another lovely evening. Thank you.
Lovely walk. You started with such an incline, I was out of breathe just watching you. Beach, cliffs, flowers and Doggie made a fun family outing. 👟🐕🌹🌷🌊
😊 thank you! Sarah :)
Thank you again for this, as soon as I start watching these walks I can feel my mind relaxing, brilliant :-)
Glad you enjoyed it - me too! Sarah :)
Wow! Stunning views ,counting the days before our yearly holiday to your beautiful county,
Quite steep that first bit, I walk up there twice last week in the hope of catching a good sunset, 🌅 fabulous walk we must do the circular Mullion to Predannack from the book Shortish Walks on and around The Lizard.
It a great walk and, as we know the route, we took advantage of it on the way back - much quicker! Sarah :)
Thank you... tis my favorite part of the world .... I read that the Mullion is a wild flower sanctuary.... be nice if you could zoom in on the odd flower and name it also mention any old fashioned medicinal uses it had ... I don’t think I will get to Cornwall again so i treasure your walks ... not being there since 2012 ... never walked the Mullion although it was the top of my list of things to do .... thank you so much again ❤ 😎👍
Thank you! Sarah :)
Lovely walk and very enjoyable to watch. Loved seeing all the place names and the info you provided. Its fascinating that Predannack Wollas Farm has been a working farm for 1000 years and people have been walking those cliffs for just as long. The views are beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it and it really feels like an old part of the world! Sarah :)
Another lovely walk! When you do these long non-circular walks do you take two cars and have one at each end of the walk or do you turn around and walk back??
We turn around and walk all the way back! Sometimes we know a quicker route across fields but not always! Sarah :)
Please watch the dogon that cliff was a few nervy moments on this one lol
Hi, can you please name 3 villages that are near to this area/walk. I would love to visit. Thank you
I really miss your witty chat on this one ..
Well, unfortunately the vlog videos take the best part of 30 hours to film, edit and upload to TH-cam so it is simply not possible to produce 2 a week and work. Sarah
@@CornishWalkingTrails Hi Sarah,
Please don't get me wrong I did enjoy it as always ..
It was just I kind of missed the usual banter between you and Andrew, that was all
What do you call a man with a Seagull on his head ?
Cliff! Sarah :)
No more navy press gangs to avoid?
LOL! Sarah :)
