    Just when I thought your walks couldn't get any better. This was brilliant. From the quaint narrow streets to watching you sketch, and even watching your dog digging is entertaining.

    He he...two and a half cocker spaniels wide 😋🐾👌...love it 💞. So many memories of this walk when I was a child. My Dad would march us all to Dodman from Mevagissey when we lived there, and we so looked forward to getting a drink or an ice cream from Gorran Havan 🍦. Another thing engrained in my memory, is swimming at Volt beach and not wanting to get out, as there were two naked men at the water's edge..just where I needed to exit 😱😂. Really enjoyed this guy's ... happy memories and more to come hopefully 😁🌅👌😘

    What a wonderful walk with a new length. We love streets that are a maximum of two dog lengths wide, the most beautiful are those that are one dog length. Thank you for the great video Greetings from hot Germany Greetings Günter

    So glad you have been to our families little bit of heaven. Been going every year since my late wife Alizon introduced me to Gorran Haven on our honeymoon in 76. I shall be there in October when it’s a little quieter. Thank you to you Sarah and Andrew for a lovely video.

      I think we will return over the winter, when the roads are a bit quieter to feel the breeze on our faces and walk it again - I fancy trying it the other way around! Sarah :)

    Gorran Haven looks a lovely quaint village, definitely has the noisiest seagulls, the coastline to Dodman Point is stunning, and pole vault beach was idilic, I was paying attention Andrew, which surprised me as no sleep for days due to the heat! I’ll no doubt miss the rest! Doggie 🐶 thoughts 💭 I’m sure you can get to Australia this way! he was so focused on digging I had to smile 😊 and loved the way he obliged as a living tape measure, be careful Andrew he’s out to steal your limelight! thanks for a great walk about to somewhere I’ve never been, 👍🤗🥀

      @@CornishWalkingTrails Hi! your little brown dog 🐕 is smarter than most, the beach sands are easy to dig even though he doesn’t get very far, but enjoys it immensely, land soil is mostly like concrete these days, he could damage his little paws 🐾 that’s my theory anyway! take care 🤗👋

    Awww, this one was you two at your sparkling best (not forgetting Mr.Scrumptious Two Dogs Wide of course!)... with the glory of Cornwall spread out all around as far as the eye could see. Truly spectacular bit of coastline and one of your fab paintings to top it off at the end. Feel like I have been on this one with you today even though I'm stuck in sweltering Kent! Even in the summertime you can find secluded beaches with not a soul in sight (although Andrew was doing his best to spot the more elusive ones!! :-)) There's a remote walk in Kent with a nudist beach at the very end....with warning signs when you approach it! 🙄😀 x J x

    Yes! Wonderful views! Doggie was the star today. Can either of you tell us how many Pubs/Cafes in Cornwall are named "The Mermaid"? You are fortunate to find so many charming small beaches with few people. Surfers have claimed many here. I especially enjoy comparing your coastline to ours. Interesting about the deep water off Dodman Point. The La Jolla underwater canyon leads to a deep trench; the Scripps Institute of Oceanography has a long private pier for research, and the fantastic Birch Aquarium. You must see it if you come here. The seagulls do seem extra loud in Gorran Haven. :)

    • @CornishWalkingTrails

      Our coastline is so interesting. Being a triangular County, we have the contrast of the north and south coast, both so different in character, I can never decide which I like best! Sarah :)

    'Carts' doesn't necessarily mean horse drawn vehicles. When I was a boy growing up in Penzance (60s/70s) hand pushed carts were still being used to carry ladders, tools, building materials and for selling fish and bread to people's homes.

  • @nickbiggs1

    Sorry to disappoint about Rattle St, but it wasn’t about horse-drawn carts - it referred to hand carts on which the fishermen would bring their nets and pots and other gear back to their lofts!
