Portreath is another awesome place in Cornwall and I'm really enjoying the walks here in this area. Portreath is a beautiful village town with very nice buildings and I liked the houses up on the hills as well as the magnificent beaches there thank you. 🇬🇧🎸🎸🎹🥁🇬🇧
Thank you for showing Portreach. I loved the expansive beach. The village is not as pretty as some places but l still enjoyed it. I loved the houses on the hillside.
Great video of my favourite place. You could have walked straight down the main road to the beach, better than a maze as you called it lol. There’s a couple of lovely Cafes at the top of the stairs that lead down to the beach. Well worth going to, they do some really fab food and drinks. The Harbour, just like most Harbours smell because of the accumulation of Seaweed, unfortunately it doesn’t get cleared now like it used to but anyone who knows anything about Harbours is fully accepting that some days it smells worse than others. The Waterfront is still in business but as you’ve seen, Portreath as a whole is a pretty quiet little place but does usually get busier during the Summer months. Sadly due to the costs of everything having risen over the last couple of years, people are opting for cheaper holidays abroad and Coastal places like Portreath will suffer.

Hi just started to watch your videos and thank you really enjoying them. I actually do my one hour static bike routine while watching your walks and sometimes I get so engrossed in the walk I forget to change my pedal pressure lol. Once again thank you. Steve.
Hey Steve Thanks so much that's great stuff! There's a few playlists on the channel page that might be helpful for you too! Have a top week my friend Neil
As per usual Neil, another wonderful video. Please can you tell me what the music is that you play during and at the end. We find ourselves humming it after watching your videos 😍
As soon as I saw the harbour I didn't need smelly vision as I could remember the terrible smell. We went to Portreath 4 or 5 years ago and it was the same. Thought we were unlucky but obviously not. Terrible for the people who live there. Would be dubious about swimming in the sea. Such a shame as it is a magnificent place, we wouldn't go back and probably not the only ones. Really enjoying your Cornwall series Neil, thank you
That is not at all true. The sewerage outfall is further around the coast around by Ralph's cupboard. The smell is due to decaying seaweed as it has been for the past 40 years I've lived here. The seaweed is periodically removed at low tide by The harbour association by JCB. It's true the harbour can pong on some hot days but it doesn't extend much further than the houses surrounding the harbour.
No its not its the rotting seaweed in the harbour at low tide The old sewer pipe has not been used in years Please get your facts correct before you put down my village!!
@@fatfish6839 it's my village as well bud, I've lived here 40 years. You know full well sww pump untreated water into the sea near Portreath and elsewhere around the coast. I'm not putting the village down at all, I'm pointing out that the smell is simply due to seaweed not sewerage. Read comments more carefully before popping off on people.

I spent three years serving at RAF Portreath from 1982 to 1985. I loved my time in Cornwall, it was a lovely little camp and a lovely little village.
Thank you for showing Portreach. I loved the expansive beach. The village is not as pretty as some places but l still enjoyed it.
I loved the houses on the hillside.
the smell in. the harbour is at low tide. when the sun is out it heats up the kelp seaweed which omits the smell. i grew up around there.
There in 2 weeks. Can't wait.
Have fun!!
Hi. The harbour always smells like that at low tide, it's the seaweed, there used to be more seaweed but the farmers take it to put on there land.
@@andyinpattaya4215 Spot on I was going to say the same thing - former local from Illogan!

Thank you
My nose is still recovering from that smell 🤣
Thank you 🙂

Not my scene.
The reason it stinks is because the sewage outlet comes out in portreath,worse in warm weather
Oh no! 🤮🤮
