- At the end of last year we asked you to send us any questions you had about us, about Cornwall or about the channel. In this video we answer as many as possible! Will we answer your question?
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.

Hidden gem - Scrade Beach. Can be visited by doing a St Genny's to Dizzard circular walk. It is quite a strenuous walk but the view walking down to Scrade Beach is absolutely breathtaking.
Sounds like one to add to the list! Sarah :)
Great video . Hidden gem Hawkers Hut Morwenstow. Stunning view. Barnecutts pasties 👍.
Thank you so much for cheering up my evening, such a pleasure to listen to you both bouncing off each other. Your videos make me realise how lucky I am to live here in my old farm cottage surrounded by daffodil fields at Rose-an-Grouse
Cozy video before bedtime
So glad you chose Wheal Coates engine house Sarah.
I think it must be the most photographed one and on so many adverts leaflets etc for Cornwall
Happy new year to my favourite Cornish ramblers
Thank you! Sarah :)
What a fun video - enjoyable to watch with many diverse questions. You came across so relaxed like having 2 friends in for a chat. Keep doing what you do - you do it so well & we look forward to your ‘to do’ list for 2023.
Hi. I'm a long time viewer and first timer commenter. Publishing a book is easier than it was, there's such a thing as print on demand therefore no need to get 100s preprinted. As for publishing Amazon is easy to get books on. Write your book, get a print on demand company to print them when they sell, sell via TH-cam, Amazon, Pateron etc. Low cost startup and great potential. I've a few out there that I've have written on my behalf. Hope this helps, I met you once with my son in a large builders store outside Truro. Keep up the good work.
P.S. Love the Cornish Pasty snark. :)
What a pleasant hour and a bit. Like being with old friends...at certain times during the video I wanted to join right in with the convo! Loved the wedding photo and the people from past and present to invite to a dinner party! Think I would have had to have Winston Graham along to ask him all about Poldark of course and a certain Mr.Turner would have had to be there too! But Agatha Christie was a good choice! Love a bit of Poirot and Miss Marple. I used to work for the NHS too Sarah. Retired now. Things have changed a lot, say no more.....you two keep walking and we will all keep watching. Here's to the walks in 2023...looking forward to them. Anything to do with Holy Wells...St. Clethers etc etc and Madron Well would be lovely. x J x
Here’s to 2023 and lots of walking! Sarah :)
Regarding sea glass, I have found there is more chance of finding it, plus things like driftwood, on more remote beaches and beaches in North Cornwall rather than West and South where you get more tourists and where I live near Penzance there is a concentration of artists and crafts people who grab it all up for their projects.
Good point! Sarah:)
Brilliant video! Really enjoyed it! Those splits at the end looked so good … and love the crimpometer!!
Thanks for all the work you put into every aspect of your really enjoyable videos each week and for this really fun and easy to watch Q and A! Happy new year!
Happy New Year Sarah & Andrew!...can't think of a better way to start the new year than with such an entertaining (and informative!) CWT Q & A session. It's kick-started my whole January - thank you! To my mind you have the perfect balance of content/variety in your videos, so please don't change a thing. Cornwall and the Cornish should be so proud of you two for promoting and bringing us all the very best of Cornwall and Cornish culture. Only Cornish born & bred could do what you do, with your cultural, historical and family histories & insights. Keep on doing what you're doing...just love it :)
Thank you for your lovely comment! We will be going on more adventures this year! Sarah :)
Wonderful! You two are SO nice. I could see that you were getting more and more tired but you kept going. Thank you for answering so many questions and for showing us your lovely wedding photo. Brilliant.😊🧡🧡👏👏😊
You’re welcome! Sarah :)
I'm in Cornwall and have found your videos very informative. You have taught me a lot of things I never knew. I don't do much walking and don't venture out much these days, particularly during the summer months, so thank you for all your wonderful videos. Interesting that you met at the Norway Inn. That is just up the road from me as I am in Perranwell. It used to be a great pub back in the day. Visited Poldark Mine back in the 1980s. I am not sure if it is still a tourist attraction.
As a born and raised Cornishman living in Florida for the last 30 years, I must say that I really enjoy your videos brings back so many great memories. I enjoyed this 15 minute video too! Looking forward to all your adventures in 2023 and watching you make your beautiful artwork as well, take care.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Absolutely LOVED this Video LOVE YOU GUYS looking forward to more 🦘🦘
Thank you so much! Sarah :)
This as been one of the best Q&A that we have watched, really enjoyed it. It’s that good we will watch again.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Come to California!!!!…..🎉🌹 it would be grand to host you! Yosemite my suggestion for a walk….the Sequioa’s is grand! And San Francisco! Absolutely ….thanks for your fun video today…..all the best for you both this year! Ana 🌹
Sounds great! Sarah :)
Liebe Sarah und lieber Andrew, vielen Dank für eure tollen Videos. Wir waren in 2022 in Cornwell ! Stonehadge , St. Ives und viele andere wundervolle Orte! Leider sind wir nicht bei den Blasen ( für Pflanzen etc.) gewesen, vielleicht komme ich ja noch einmal alleine nach Cornwell.
Ich wünsche euch Gesundheit und immer heile Füße❤️
Appalachian Way! Check out the Bill Bryson book and the film "A walk in the woods"
Will do! Thanks, Sarah :)
Should do a Fern Pit visit on the Gannel and discuss with the Northey owners history of the ferry at the mouth of the Gannel and further along when it ran many years ago from Tretthelan farm area across to Penpol creek
Ah, yes, lady in the cave hopefully not covered in sand during the winter
Really fun video
Thank you! Sarah :)
Hidden Gem suggestion from NZ = Godrevy Cove, St Keverne
Thank you! Sarah :)
Great to hear how you met, who could resist sharing 🍓 🍓🍓😋. Please consider doing a livechat! 👍
I think a great addition to your equipment would be a drone. You could get some great intro shots of zooming out from you to the surrounding coast or countryside and then some more during the walk. Having said that, I used to have one and crashed it right into the middle of a gorse bush where I could not retrieve it without going home and getting a long pole. I gave up soon after that and sold it, so they are not for everyone. My brother in law has one and gets some fantastic videos and photos with it although I think the laws about where you can fly them have been made stricter recently. Just a thought and this Q and A session was very interesting.
I think we would spend too much time cursing a drone! We will leave that to the pros, Sarah :)
This was gold - thank YOU both X
Happy New Year, Sarah and Andrew looking forward to seeing you and your doggies out and about around lovely Cornwall.
Great video guy's......love Devon and Cornwall.....Cawsand/kingsand...beautiful.👍
Happy New Year and health and peace to the world. It was a nice and entertaining quarter of an hour from you at the beginning of the year, I'm already looking forward to the rest of the year. Best regards, Gunter
Happy New Year guys, Thanks for the mention. Glad I gave you a chuckle😄
Happy new year to you and the fur-babies xx
Thank you! Sarah :)
Happy New Year Sarah and Andrew, it's great to watch your video's and I hope you will be able to continue with them. Really interesting to hear how you make them and the time you invest in the production, Thank you for all this fantastic work. Good luck in 2023. All the best Bob
We enjoy making these videos so fingers crossed! Sarah :)
Happy and Healthy New Year Andrew and Sarah thanks for all the great videos and taking the time to make them . Much appreciated by many of us that watch them I am sure.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Lovely video. You both look so relaxed. Happy New Year.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Halllooooo 😁 I wish you a happy and healthy New Year. Will watch it later - but sooo happy to see you again ❣️
Hidden gems: St Agnes Isles of Scilly; Kilminorth Woods, Looe along the Giants causeway inland to Polperro;
Thank you! Sarah:)
Thank you! This year I plan to rent an airbnb in Cornwall for several months and start exploring in detail the walks, history, towns and villages and hopefully persuade my husband to come with me. He loves to fish, preferably ocean fishing so I thought Cornwall might be perfect destination for the two of us with differing interests!😊
Sounds perfect! Cornwall is great for walking and fishing, Sarah :)
A Happy New Year to you both, and the family. Very informative and helpful. I can certainly see why the videos take so much time. From my perspective, I'm so thankful for the amount of effort and entertainment you provide. Makes my day when I watch them. So thankful that you do these. Keep up the fantastic service. Have a safe and wonderful 2023.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Thank you for all your videos, as a Falmouth girl 6K miles from home and missing it terribly, you bring me mentally home every time! On my last visit home we did the pednvounder beach hike, parking at Treen. I have to admit did not realise it had a nudist element, each to their own :), I managed to get as far as that big rock overlooking the beach but the last climb down beat me. I was uncertain about my ability to get back up! But the views with the tide out the water turquoise, absolutely stunning. Hiked to Porthcurno where had a swim (water baby) and of course an ice cream topped with clotted cream. Then hiked back to Logans Rock, where I scrambled in unladylike fashion but did not manage to the end and then on to Penberth cove finishing with an early dinner in the Logan Rock Inn. All thanks to you two doing this walk in one of your videos, never knew about it before. I think it has to rate as one of my all time favourites!!! Nearly killed me getting back up from Pednvounder mind!!! So thank you and keep doing what you do, you are a breath of fresh air.
That stretch of coast is one of the most beautiful places in Cornwall! Sounds like a perfect day out. Sarah :)
Hi guys, always enjoy your vlogs. Watching this with a cuppa! Have you been to Trebarwith Strand and the Port William pub on top of the cliff there? Beautiful. Thanks for all you do and keep doing!!! A very happy cornwall local. 😀
We visited a few years ago, probably one of those videos that’s more difficult to find! Sarah :)
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, thank you guys. 15 mins? Over an hour! 😂 I love that you mentioned Mullion as one of your favourite places, it's where I spent my teenage years, Poldhu, Pollurian and Mullion coves 😍. Watching the stormy seas coming over Mullion harbour wall is the best memory! Oh, and Anne's pasties in The Lizard are absolutely the best! High time I got back down there again 😊
Thanks! I'll make a note of Anne's pasties, we are coming to St. Ives in may...
Lovely area! Sarah :)
A great Q & A guys enjoyed the chat and and everything you have done the past year, here is looking forwards to the new years adventures with you , need to have a go at making splits now. Happy new year to you and yours and not forgetting the doggies ,,,,,,Brian&Jane
Andrew loves splits! Well worth making! Sarah :)
❤️About getting Emmets to Cornwall...Confess.. you are sooo guilty 😱😱😱...Your channel made me sell my house and spend over ONE YEAR in and pretty much all over Cornwall ❤️❤️ ( and two months in Devon ) Allt together 22 months on the road..A great THANK you and much love to you and to everyone I and my cocker Will met ❤️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🇫🇮 during our stay...Love to the doggies too...
A fabulous and interesting video with wonderful family photos and stories, Cornwall and Scotland have always been our favourite places to go, such outstanding panoramic views, and an air of magic about them! I live in Derby’s which is also stunning itself! thank you 🙏 Sarah & Andrew for transporting me back to places i can no longer reach, I just love the detail and planning you put into your videos, and your beautiful canine friends are such a delight when they accompany you on your walks, have a wonderful New Year both of you, 😊🤗👋
We will be out and about regularly now - weather permitting! Sarah :)
Really enjoyed this guys 👌💝. I particularly loved seeing your fab photos of your time in Florida...such amazing memories for you I'm sure 😊. I hope one day I bump into you on one of your walks, as I love walking... especially around the coast. Always an absolute pleasure to watch your videos and I look forward to the year ahead with you🐾🐾 ✊💞😘
I couldn’t believe how young we looked!! We will be out wearing out the puppy!! Sarah:)
The Cornwall annual is actually quite a good idea , history artifacts ghosts, walks, stories , mystery photos etc oh and really bad jokes
Perfect!!! Sarah:)
Hi Sarah and Andrew, what a great & fascinating video! Here are some of my "hidden secrets" a few of which are not so hidden: Rocky Valley, Luxulyan Valley, Kennal Vale, the Seaton Valley at Caradon Hill. Beaches Rinsey Cove, Pednvaunder, Portheras Cove, Hallane Beach. A fantastic gem I've visited but is dangerous extremely dodgy to get to on foot is the "Prison", near Cligga Head. An amazing looking gem I've never visited is the cave of many colours near Cape Cornwall, I've seen a couple of videos and it looks incredible (Cornish Xplora & Lucas Nott). Re the St Michael's way, for those not keen to walk the full length, I can recommend getting the train or bus to St Erth station, walking along the A30 towards Penzance for half a mile or so, then turning up Heather Lane, which is a pleasant little lane that eventually turns into a footpath and crosses the St Michael's way. You can then either turn left and head towards Ludgvan, Marazion & Penzance, or right towards Trencrom, St Ives & Carbis Bay. Look forward to many more fantastic videos in 2023! Many thanks.
A complete video in one comment! Thank you! Sarah :)
Thanks for a great video - really enjoyed it & thanks for answering my qu's! x hm (Helen M)
Happy New Year! This is such a fun chat! After a year of watching your jaunts every weekend, I asked my spouse if he'd like to go to La Jolla Cove on Christmas Day and walk along the shore. The weather being extremely odd this year (we have rain and very high tides this week, but have avoided the terrible flooding they're experiencing up north), it was 80F (27C) on the 25th! The area is an underwater nature preserve, and the beaches are closed til March due to Sea Lion calving season. It was great to see so many sunning on the rocks. We hadn't been there in over a year, and were amazed as well at the number of seagulls, pelicans, and cormorants. It was very crowded, with human families as well, lol. I've only been to Virginia, D.C., and Georgia on the east coast, but the Appalachian Trail is quite famous (and long). California has a number of National Parks; Yosemite is amazing, but there are many less famous. There are State parks as well, such as Cuyamaca and Mt. Laguna, in San Diego County. The desert parks are amazing in early spring, when the wildflowers bloom. You'll need to bring your watercolors, Sarah! :)
Wow! Sounds amazing! We might have to wait for the exchange rate to swing back in our favour! Sarah :)
I love this Q &A session!
Very nice!
I've been wanting to catch-up because I've fallen behind, lately. Again. Sorry. But, I see that the advertisements shown during the latest ones I've viewed are from Disney!! That IS encouraging! It seems that though YT can suggest and throw the Royal videos at us, Americans, when it comes to other Brits, like your channel or Scottish ones, the views seem to be shadow banned. It seems hinky!
Ooh have you ever been in the golden lion pub at stithians? I could live off their breaded mushrooms 🤤 they're unbelievable 🤤🙂
Happy New Year to you both✨Greetings from me here in Norway! Did you really meet in a pub called Norway Inn? Cheers to that🥂
Indeed! A lovely pub! Sarah :)
I would love to buy a book you wrote, I enjoy your videos and you could add your sketches as well. ❤
Oh thank you! Sarah :)
Great video guys really enjoyable, have watched many, just a thought would you like to visit the oldest holy well in Cornwall St Clether, and from there Bude, I am local 👍
We are hoping to get to Bude this year! Sarah :)

Nooooooooooooo.....Gorran Haven in my favourite place in Cornwall as it's hidden! Not anymore lol
Lol! 😂 Not much is hidden anymore!!! Sarah:)
Ahh You can’t say Scon in Cornwall Sarah!! It’s scone with a “own” maid 😆
Really enjoyed the video and if you enjoy murder mysteries you should read Daisy darker by Alice feeney it’s also set in Cornwall and it’s a sort of a tribute to Agatha’s Christie And then there were now 📚💕📚
Oooo sounds interesting! Thank you! Sarah :)
Sorry for all the comments 🤦😂 but my friend is involved with a publishing company they published her book about Anne Boleyn called the most happy her names holly Walters she's now involved with the running of the publishing company and she also loves Cornwall specifically st Micheals mount lol maby get I'm touch with her 🙂 xx
We found a hidden gem if you go into pentewan village drive up the side of the cliff then follow the road round to the cluster of cottages there's a footpath follow the path it comes into a rockey cove with a cottage on the beach and a waterfall coming down from the rocks above il always remember it if you know it what is it called and have you been was a lovely quiet place
Hallaine beach! Great place! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails oh that's been a niggle for a long time thanks guys
Thank you Sarah and Andrew, for remembering my question re Splits. I await the results of your investigations...its really odd that they seem to have been quietly dropped.
I live in hope of finding a Cornish bakery who actually sells them. They are great as they are so light that you can eat more cream and jam.
My Cornish friends all say that Thunder and Lightning is superior to using Jam....I must admit it is moreish.
We stay in Holywell Bay every year and the Bakers Dozen in Cubert is our local bakery....they don't have Splits sadly, but do have amazing homemade strawberry jam/scones and fabulous Pasties with really great quality meat. Their own cattle I believe.
Anyway, heres to more adventures in 2023.
We will have to try out the pasty shop! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Don't leave it too late in the day....they sell out late morning!
Fabulous Butchers too just up the road in St Newlyn east - L Georges....again, their own farm.
I'd love to go on a walk with you guys 🙂 we did the walk today from flushing to mylor and back the walk you guys did you make it look so easy 😂 my feet are killing tho I did have my little boy in a baby carrier also had my 5 year old with us and she surprisingly did the whole walk and didn't say she was tired until we were about 10 minutes from the car 🙂 I feel like I'll need a week to recuperate 😂😂 and it was something like 3.9 miles 🤦 we moved here (just outside of Redruth) last July and absolutely love it were still discovering beautiful places all the time 🙂 if you ever fancy some company on a walk (a short one 😂) let me know lol 🤣 also if you haven't already definitely check out kennal vale it's absolutely beautiful 😍 xx
good morning, a query:
I Will arrive in Cornwall with an italian group (average Age 70)
can you propose me a short and Easy walk with a stunning view?
thank you
