Floral abundance! Virtual, step-by-step dog walk Dollar Cove, Gunwalloe to Polurrian Cove Cornwall
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Join us as we walk along the South West Coast path from Dollar Cove, Gunwalloe to Polurrian Cove, 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.
This stretch of the coast path combines beautiful views with wild flowers and great walking. We start in Dollar Cove, so named because of the numerous shipwrecks with gold and silver coins that have run aground here. Church Cove has a church on the beach with a sea view - so special!
We head up the cliff towards Poldhu Cove, a sandy beach much loved by surfers and beach-goers. From here we pass the former Poldhu Hotel, now a care home, opened in 1899, to accommodate Victorian tourists when the railway line reached Helston.
Behind the care home is the Marconi centre. This is the site where the first transatlantic radio signal was sent, an 's' three times. From here we arrive at our destination, Polurrian Cove with fantastic views all the way!
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.

Wow, what a beautiful walk, listening to the waves, soft evening light glistening on the sea and sand dunes and all that lush green in contrast💚 Very therapeutic 👏
Glad you enjoyed it! Sarah :)
Loved this walk with the sound of the sea and the birds chirping in the background very peaceful.
Many thanks, Sarah :)
Thank you so much for making
This video. I felt like I was walking
with you. And what a glorious evening for it.
The earth is The Lords and the fullness therein.

So relaxing Sarah and Andrew 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻. Helps me calm my mind. God Bless 🙏🏻 Maureen xx
What a fabulous evening for a walk - spectacular scenery.
Yes, thank you, it was splendid! Sarah :)
Great idea, love the sound s of sea and birds, it feels like im there with you, beautiful views, such a long walk Thank you
Beautiful. My favorite virtual walk that you have done so far. Really felt like I was out for a walk on a glorious summer evening. Thank you for making this video.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think its one we will come back to ourselves in the depths of winter, just to experience some summer sun,
Sarah :)
Thank you for soothing therapy amongst the world anger & noise. The dog, bird, and ocean sounds are wonderful.
End of April I will leave San Diego to walk there myself.
Two year wait!
Wow! I feel sure you will love it! Sarah :)
As always a great video - with the happiest of couples. Perfectly done! 🙂🙂🙂 Maureen xx
Thanks so much! 😊Sarah :)
Wonderful places! Very relaxing tour! 🌊😍❤️
You're welcome! Sarah :)
Absolutely stunning, what a complete pleasure. I do love your walks especially when they include your lovely waggy tailed little brown boy. 😺
We struck a beautiful evening to film and it was glorious! Sarah :)
A particular favourite part of the coastline, many happy memories!
It is beautiful! Sarah :)
I missed this one last week. Not sure why? Anyway, I sat for an hour and walked with you (in my head anyway!). Peaceful hour spent dreaming of long hot summer evenings in one of my favourite areas. Lovely stuff with your trusty friend by your side of course! x J x
A beautiful evening walk of the Cornish Coast line, reminiscent of sixty years ago doing the same walk with my now late life partner, also it reminds me of the filming of the shipwreck scene of the Warleggan’s ‘Queen Charlotte’ on ‘Poldarks’ Endrawna Beach the same sound of the wind and surf, very atmospheric, I would love to do it all over again, but I would avoid the cliff edge though, as I have had many a nightmare of disappearing over the edge, maybe next time I will stick to one of your inland walks, this has been a breathtaking experience thank you so much Sarah and Andrew for sharing it with me, there is nothing to compare to the spectacular views of the Cornish Coast line, and your very happy four legged friend appreciates every inch! 👌🤗👋
He certainly enjoys his walks - he is a very lucky doggy to be living in Cornwall! We have so much choice of walks for him, Sarah :)
Wow yet another great video, so enjoyed a part of the coast I haven't been to it was wonderful.
Thank you Sarah and Andrew definitely a feel good factor video, fabulous xx 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it! Sarah :)
An absolutely beautiful walk and fantastic evening light. I sat watching it wearing headphones, and I heard very vividly all the sounds from the birds, the waves and the walking paces and people passing. Looks like a pretty smooth part of the path. Perhaps except from the tarmac ascent :-) I find those to be quite draining ;-) I am so looking forward to walking in this area myself :) Torunn :)
Hi Torunn, Agree about the tarmac - more jarring on the joints and less interesting to walk on, Sarah :)
Beautiful evening for a walk. Love the light on the ocean and doggie meeting new friends to play with. I noticed a lot of coastal erosion in this area. Andrew is right about his concern. Love this walk and thank you both again. 👟🐕🌊
Oh yes, he is right about coastal erosion - one of his little foibles! Sarah :)
Really enjoyed this virtual walk. I liked the captions of descriptions of places by name which was a new feature! Felt so peaceful! Thank you! Diane👍
Our pleasure! We hoped the captions would add not detract! Sarah :)
Loved every step, thank you again, so evocative 😊
You are so welcome! Sarah :)
When you two take Pupsy out for a coastal sunset romp, you don't mess around, do you? Spectacular shoreline shots, but those slippery earth & gravel cliffside steps were scary! Interesting local history and unparalleled panoramas!
Thank you so much for these lovely videos. I research on the map as you walk and save areas to my favourites. My dear old mum and sister lives in North Devon, my brother in South Cornwall and my daughter in Somerset. Three of my four favourite counties. Whenever I'm visiting anyone, I love to go off walking around the coastal paths and this walk has really inspired me!
How beautiful! The light, the views, the sound of the sea - just glorious!
I discovered your channel by chance a couple of months or so back and I'm working my way through your videos but this is the first time I have commented. July 2020, after 40+ years of saying I would do it, I finally moved to Cornwall. When I first decided this was where I wanted to be I had big ideas about walking the coastal path but my old body complains at too much walking these days, especially on uneven ground! Watching you though I can still get to see some of it and imagine I'm there. Thank you for sharing your walks with us. x
Hello Denise
Your message is so nice 👍. Me too!! I have loved Cornwall since I was 3!!!! 54 years I have loved Cornwall. Sadly though I have tried in earnest to move there - but it hasn’t happened as yet. Fingers crossed 😃😃😃 Maureen. North West England Take care Denise. Keep well. 💙🙏🏻💙
@@maureensmullen6836 Thank you, Maureen. I didn't really appreciate it when I went as a young child but grew to love it on holidays during my teens and early twenties.
Many times I doubted I would make my dream come true and get to live here but at nearly 63 I eventually managed it.
Never give up on your dreams, Maureen. Stay safe lovely :) x
Thank you Denise. Your message means a lot. Enjoy your beautiful home county xxxx 🥰
@@maureensmullen6836 Thank you - I will. xx
How Beautiful, must do that walk next time i am down, Thank you both
So relaxing and healing all my stress, thank you darlings. Doesnt holding the camera make Andrew's arm ache?
Indeed! He is very careful too not to have a jerky movement to spoil the experience! Sarah :)
Another great virtual walk video, thanks for adding in information along the way. Love listening to the sound of the waves rolling onto the beach. ❤🐾🥾
Did you have to walk back, or do you use two cars?
We walk all the way back, although in some sections we know more direct routes across fields, making it quicker because you don't follow every nook and cranny of the coast! Sarah :)
Always enjoy watching...Let me share with you a poem (Verses 1,2,3,&12) that I wrote in 2009 about my love for Cornwall...
Let me take you on a journey
Unlock and open bare
The beauty of my Kernow
To which I stand and stare.
Majestic cliffs organza sky
And Shags on crags do nest
Winds that blow around me
And I taste that salty zest.
Pink Thrift sways on gentle breeze
And dances with wild Thyme
Seagulls glide on outstretched wing
My worries left behind.
Mystical and magical
And when my time has come
Lay me down in this earth of Kernow
Underneath the Cornish sun.
E. Brazier. 2009
How beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I can imagine someone like Joanna Lumley reading it out as a voice over for the video, Sarah :)
Absolutely beautiful poetry. Well done 👍 xx 💙🙏🏻💙
Maureen Smullen. Thank you that’s very kind...Did you see the other verses? 4.5.6 & 7
Cornish Walking Trails. I did add further verses, are they showing Sarah? 4,5,6&7
Hello Denise. Mo I didn’t see all of the verses Denise. I would love to though. Beautiful poem. It says just how I feel about our Beautiful Kernow 🥰xx
This was wonderful, thank you both so much, one of the nicest so far. I follow your walks on the Ordnance survey maps, I wonder how long it will take to complete the whole SWC path :-) and wow there were a lot of bugs about towards the end of the walk !!
Our pleasure! We were wondering the same! And of course we have to walk all the way back to the car too! So we will actually be walking the coast path in both directions by the time we finish! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails I did wonder about the logistics of it all, and the fact you had to walk back too, you could do with a special car like they have on the tour de France with spare trainers and a lift back 😅

Yes, indeed! th-cam.com/video/O4s92NP_Ld0/w-d-xo.html We covered this a few years ago! Sarah :)
Nice, but waaaay too many ads that got in the way of enjoying this walk, in my case anyway. I suppose it helps towards the next can or bag of dog food, so no problem really.
Oops, forgot to say thanks. Thanks :-)
Hi there, yes ads are unfortunately the way of the TH-cam world! It helps towards fuel in our tank and the, sometimes, exorbitant parking fees! As well as our vlogs, we have several virtual walks on the channel and intend virtual walking the whole Cornish coastal path, and if this is your thing, we upload ad free to our Patreon page. Thanks for the feedback though, appreciated! Sarah :)
