- Things to do in Coverack
With pennies getting tighter and the holiday budget being squeezed, we wanted to give you some ideas for day trips with lots of fun that would be budget friendly!
We have looked at the cost of parking, what food is on offer at cafes and restaurants, and given some examples of free activities in Coverack and the nearby area.
From experience we know that sometimes it can be a bit tricky to find tourist information about an area, and what local businesses have to offer. We hope that we have given you a flavour of what to expect from this delightful seaside village.
NB We have not included every business in the village. Some businesses are seasonal and will only open in peak times.
Disclosure: We have not been paid by any of the businesses mentioned in this video. To make this video, we have used our local knowledge, gleaned from visiting over the years.
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.

We really love Coverack and your right it can be a cheap day out. Had many years enjoying walking around Coverack and sitting at the harbour eating Fish n chips which were the Best. Always enjoy your video's a pleasure to watch. The doggies are superb with wagging tails!
Thank you! Sarah :)
Coverack looks an ideal place to visit, with nice toilet block a major bonus anywhere, wish we had found this beautiful village fifty years ago when my family were young, a lovely gentle surf how fabulous, what more could one want! Loved the Sculpture Park as much as you and Andrew great fun with your adorable doggies as always, thank you 🙏 for another delightful video I would give this £10. theme a 5+ out of 5 any day, definitely value for money, the Ice creams were the icing on the cake, ending with four happy bunnies and amazing views out to sea 🌊 👏👏👏
A great day out, and the doggies loved it! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah, we discoverd the sculpture garden on a hike a few years ago and were so excited. I wanted to add it to your list of things to do that are free. It's so fascinating there! In February I had my sketchbook with me and drew the figures Andrew and you posed in front of:)) I love rusty art. My husband sat in the sun waiting. I would have stayed there much longer but it was quite cold. It is so wonderful to look at this for free and linger on the beautiful lawn with the sea view. The walks at Coverack are beautiful. The ice cream prices have gone up a lot this year. But you deserve it. I'll be happy to buy you the next ice cream. Enjoy it:)) Thank you very much for sharing the videos. And to see your sweet doggies:)) Gabi:)
That’s very kind of you! Thank you for your donation, gratefully received! Sarah :)
I do love Coverack, and the sculpture garden. I agree, how can you criticise something that’s free! Thank you both for another great video and for reminding me to return soon 😊
Lol! Churlish to criticise something that’s free! Sarah :)
Great video and your explanation and delivery is delightful. Thank you. Coverack here we come
I'll look forward to watching this tonight with my wife. We love Coverack and visited many times in last 25 years.
Big smiles from up North :)
Another great video, love your budget series, a Pastie and ice cream.. yum 😋 and I love the sculpture garden. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome! Sarah :)
Another ‘sterling’ video from CWTrails. We did your St Just in Roseland on a budget last Saturday - Ferry £10. Coffee for 2 £7 and donation for parking£2.50 so for 2 £19.50 and the church was open, the sun shone & the gardens were immaculate- You have proven that the same can be done at Coverack - well done Beautiful days out in Cornwall on the budget you set for yourself.
We will be exploring more places on a budget or those that are becoming too expensive! Sarah :)
I love Coverack. I did the South West Coast Path some years ago, and the YHA here was the most amazing stay. We had an evening meal at the pub on the quay.. After the steep walk up the hill to the YHA, I remember laying in bed in my top bunk watching the lights of the ships through the large bay windows
What an idyllic picture you paint, fabulous! Sarah :)
Can’t beat Roskilly’s icecream. A must visit when down at the Lizard.
Orange and Mascapone if they still do it.🍦
Hokey Pokey for me! Sarah :)
Worth mentioning that Roskillys has a great woodland with ponds and animals to explore for free as well (just another honesty box for the upkeep).
Ha!!....I dared....you delivered!😃Well done, and what a lovely day out on a budget. Have been to Coverack a few times...it's a really lovely part of Cornwall on the Lizard Peninsular. I remember when we were there last, a local cat🐱came and sat on my lap on a bench overlooking the sea! We had a lovely afternoon there, but I hadn;t realised there was a sculpture garden up on the cliffs too. Not sure I would make it up there now, but interesting to hear that you can arrange local parking nearby. Thanks for showing it to us and well done on the £10 challenge! x J x
We try to cater for all needs! He! He! Can’t promise a friendly cat though! Sarah :)
Love your videos. Totally agree Coverack is well worth a visit. I won’t be able to look at the horse statue without thinking of Andrew’s ‘Camel’ voice-over!!! Hilarious! 😂
Beautiful!! I love the pasties to order idea!!
Hi Sarah and Andrew... Coverack is definitely on our list when we have our West Penwith staycation in June 👌. Thanks so much for all the great information and the sculptural garden looks a must 😍. I agree the pooch looks so much better that colour.... or should I say Rusty 😜. I remember the Piskie hunt 😉. Great value for money day out... thanks guys 🙏💖🐾😘
We loved the Pisky hunt, probably because we were the only certifiable twits out and about that day, pouring with drizzle but we had so much fun! Sarah :)
What a lovely place I loved the sculptures
Stunning! Sarah :)
Thank you so much for considering those who might be struggling.
My idea of a holiday was never driving. Even if I had driven from Coventry, I would park my car up, then travel by bus or train. Often using weekly global ticket. Car reserved for the most inaccessible places.
Watching this video, I tell you, we have no views like that here.
Nice place. Back in 1940s coverack was a location for a film called Born of the sea. You will find it talking pictures channel 82 . A baby is found in a boat in a fishing village, but no one can identify from where he came. He grows up among them, but is somehow destined to return to the sea. A delightful film.
Another good video. Coverack is a lovely place and we liked how you did the day out on a budget. We ourselves stumbled on the sculpture park by accident when we were out walking the coastal path. A great place to visit.
Such a great place to visit with perfect sea views!! Perfection! Sarah :)
Hello to you both from Canada you are doing a. Bang up job with all your u tube videos
Been to Cornwall Many years ago. Love England You are like bookends finish each others sentences Best wishes. Ursula
Love your videos & their content. Love Cornwall anyway, it’s magical. You have a unique and relaxing way about you both. 💕
Thank you so much!
Another brilliant video 👍
Great idea this. Cornwall on the cheap. The free sculpture garden looks brilliant, although perhaps the grass could get a bit worn in the summer months. And its not rust ,its well weathered.
‘Well weathered!’ I might borrow that description next time I visit the GP! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails You mean you can ACTUALLY get a gp appointment in Cornwall!!! Unbelievable 😄
Hi, love Cornwall, Love a walk combining Lamorna cove with the merry maidens stone circle.
Now that’s a thought….. 😀 Sarah
The sculpture garden will be a must on my next visit to Coverack and then a visit to Roskillys.Ypur walk was tops as usual.
Lovely video and lovely Coverack 😊 I really enjoy your playful but still serious approach to the trips. I remember the video from earlier with the piskie hunt. I will have to watch that one again now 🤣 And I must visit Coverack again some time. Torunn 😊
:)
Lovely
Looking forward to visiting Coverack...been there many times but really only gone to the Paris hotel..great food there and amazing views from the garden. We will certainly visit the Sculpture garden this time.
We think it’s an absolute delight! Sarah :)
Wonderful! Great episode. Thank you from Bodmin Moor. 😊
I think we will need to include a budget day on Bodmin Moor! Did I hear that the pub in St Breward has closed? Sarah :)
As far as we know The Old Inn is open at present. However, it went up for sale in April. The village shop by the pub is closing next month, I believe. Best wishes from Bodmin Moor - the rather remote bit!
Regarding budget days out; parking is free on Bodmin Moor, but I wish visitors wouldn't park in the passing bays on the moor's narrow lanes, or in front of farm gates - especially ours half a mile from our house!
Enjoyed your video nice place and a funny walk👍👍👍👍
Brilliant video! That sculpture park is amazing and I really enjoyed you and the dogs having such fun there. Really good ideas for how to have a £10 budget day out too with lots of stunning Cornish scenery.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Fun walk around the village. Yummy food, great walk and pisky pals. The sculpture garden is so much fun. Great day in a lovely place.
Yes the Terrence Coventry Sculpture garden is brilliantly. Thoroughly recommended a visit 🎉.
Hello dear Sarah &Andrew(funny as always😂)what a lovely day out ,and there's nothing to say to enjoy a pastie or picnick at the beach !Coverack is lovely ,sadly we missed it when we went to lizzard , next time for sure we will go.And chasing the cute piskies seams a lovely stroll around this lovely spot for everyone !!!Thanks for showing us around !😀
The Pisky trail is an ideal way to explore the village, Sarah :)
Hi Sarah and Andrew. I love your new series Cornwall on a budget. It gives me hope for a holiday this year. Instead of driving which I can't do I take the bus but unlike London I love the fact you can get a return fare in Cornwall which means you don't have to save the money for buses coming back. It also works out cheaper. Coverrack looks so cute with its chocolate box cottages one stop I would make.
The bus service is currently £5 all day, hop on hop off. We think that is really good value. It includes the Coaster open top buses too, Sarah :)
Absolutely brilliant beach for children. Friends from Porthleven used Coverack beach because it was safer for children.
Sweet and cozy little town. Fish and chips! Cute little place! The beach stunning…it seems like you have Cornwall all to yourselves….thank you for sharing…be well Ana🌹
More remote but has a lovely feel to the place, Sarah :)
Great video....I love the way you interacted with the sculpture that's how sculpture should be appreciated...
I agree! Not pretentious but accessible! Sarah :)
7:16 Oh... how cuticle.
Such beautiful views there! Living in one of those cottages would be a dream. I like how the sculptures represent people, animals, and insects, and the colors are neutral against the bright green grass. I prefer this to modern (and particularly bright colored) sculptures set into historic and formal buildings and gardens. I did laugh at the name Terence Coventry (apologies to the artist himself), because that was the name of the villain in the totally hilarious romance novel episode of the TV series Highlander. If you haven't seen it, it's a hoot! (Season 5, Episode 5 "Dramatic License") Thank you for the budget suggestions.
We will check it out, thanks Sarah :)
I do enjoy your videos thanks for taking the time to make them.
You’re welcome! Sarah :)
Another great video - keep up the good work
Apart from your hubbys corny jokes he’s very funny 😂😂😂 love this video.
The best corny jokes!! Sarah :)
Coverack and Cadgwith are not as well known as other Cornish fishing villages like Polperro, Mevagissey, Porthleven, Mousehole, and Port Isaac.
I quite like Coverack.
I’m just happy nobody has to see st Austell
Phil O'Stein is the Irish part of Rick Stein's German family! Is there something fishy going on? Anyway no one can afford to eat fish and chips at Rick Steins, it's too expensive and not very good at all. He's a pesky piskie rip off! : ) And £6 for 2 ice creams, £5 for 2 pasties, and £2:50 for the pisky trail = £13:50 ! Still a cheap day though!!
We were aiming for £10 per person, so perhaps the next challenge is £10 all in! That will be tough with the parking prices here, but willing to try! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails Parking is cheap in Cornwall compared to some other places. For example trying to park on the main beach in Hastings is horrendous, and the city of Oxford is ten times worse in their main car park in town, ( so it's best to use their 'Park and Ride' ) where Inspector Morse was filmed in 'The Secrets of Bay 5B' My Dad's car and garage was featured in the episode 'Driven To Distraction' ... Take some sandwiches and a flask next time you try to make it cheaper! And where will tomorrows episode be we wonder ? 🥰
You two are really far from the cost of reality.. also you said in the survey family day out.,, that doesn’t mean husband and wife
We said per person! And the sculpture gardens are free, you would only need 1 Pisky Trail. Parking is at your discretion. Take a picnic and sit on the beach. Sandcastles are free! Believe me we have brought up 2 kids in Cornwall with long summer holidays, and lots of expensive attractions to avoid. You can do Cornwall on a budget! Sarah :)
