- Porthleven in Cornwall on the 6th January 2014. www.cornwalls.co.uk/weather/st...
This was Winter Storm Hercules as it slammed into the south coast of the UK. The winds were only around force 7-8 but there was a huge ground swell which set the stage for a spectacular display at high tide.
My beautiful Cornwall, our Eden. So proud of my Cornish heritage. No where on earth means as much to us Cornish as our Eden on Earth! Which is why we sing about it, paint it and are ferocious in our protection of it. Please when you come to visit our beautiful home, respect it!!
Yes,yes and yes!!!!
Although I blew in across the tamar from Birmingham in 95.i class cornwall as my home!!!
We have so many stunning spots down here.
I fell in love with Cornwall on my very first visit, I was 17 years old then. The afternoon was mist and fog and drizzle, you could hear the fog horn blowing. We were camping at Higher Harlan. The next day the weather had cleared and my heart was at home. I have loved it ever since , I don’t know why but all I can say is I was home and I belonged there. To a Cornishman I would be just another of those tourists.
Funny you should mention eden!!!
My father in law is the co founder!
I used to live in Cornwall and have seen one or two storms I'll never forget. Once your soul has tasted that, it changes you forever.
Couldn't agree more!!
What an amazingly beautiful place to be. Its timelessness gives me the sense I could run into JMW Turner sketching in his note book as easily as anyone.
I love the sea.
The one thing no man has ever conquered and never will. You can fight all you want against it, but it will always win.
Wow just wow. Beautiful video
This was strangly beautiful to watch. Music worked well too.
Beautiful place, even when the weather is bad, coming back again this summer,staying at The Lizard this time.
Funny thing is, when I made this video it was the biggest storm in 10 years. Since then there have been at least 2 bigger ones. Crazy weather...
What's the music called you used in this great video? Grtz, Jean NL
Leloïc Van Lierde It's called Grass - can be found in the UA-cam audio library here: ua-cam.com/users/audiolibrary
Very kind of you to react! Thanks for the info.
Grtz, Jean NL
Superb timelapse. and video. I remember clearly those storms.
Loved the music
Leven harbour scares the poop out of me, like Meva harbour does. The drop gets me every time, love it there though.
Love the vid! Used to go to that beach every year as a kid. Sat on those cannons lots of times. Now I know why the beach changes so much there!
Beautiful area, and one of my favourite places I just hope I manage to get back there soon.
Hi,
And thank you so so much for this wonderful film. My sister moved down to near the LandsEnd and we would go down more or less every month, and this shows the beauty of Sennen Cove, and just how tiny the harbour is, I recon you could throw a stone from one side to the other with not too much effort.
This shows just how terribly fierce the ways of the seas are as their water goes along the coast north and south pulling beached out within an hour that would take a couple of years to replenish naturally.
Cornwall sure is a wonderful place, but as this shows it can be extreme in anything you care to bring to mind!
I can’t recall this in detail you know the names of each inlet and such, but the film with the exact, not too dramatic music until it was necessary.
Great stuff, thank you so much.
This made me cry, and I think the population, or what there is at this small place should thank there fore fathers the cove harbour and the consequent very steep Town going up a hill that I always thought was too steep for me to manage to climb sometimes, but of course it’s steepness also means the water has hardly a chance, well mostly at least to do much damage as it runs back into the sea giving a brake to maybe the next waves strength eh?
Take care

Thanks! This one is more Sennen / Lands End based: Cornwall Winter Storm (HD) - Son of Hercules
Even bigger waves too...
Wow. That's the stuff that rescue boats have to travel through.
My son loves the waves,when I told him if you fell in or got hit by a big wave that chances of survival were zero .. he has big respect for them now and knows his limits
love this
Nature at it's worst, yet so beautiful at the same time... The music adds to the mesmerising view of an angry ocean. Awesome video.
5hady5hady Thanks. It was pretty awesome to witness. Nothing like it this year.
@@cornwallguide Do you still have the original recording with the sound of the waves?
Whoever put this together... it's truly stunning! And yes... the music fits perfectly... so beautiful and haunting!
Beautiful raw nature at it angriest!!!
Porthleven is a perfect spot for storm chasers,the harbour and rugged cliffs give perfect opportunity for photographers to catch those dramatic shots!!
Yes crazy weather. I come to Porthleven every year and stay in a cottage overlooking the sea on Loe Bar Road. I have seen a few big storms but nothing like this years. It is always spectacular but not too damaging. I feel for the fishermen who lost their boats and all who could not go out for weeks to fish due to the storms. Am told the new balks have been delivered so hopefully all will soon get back to normal.
Las olas más bellas que he visto. Y el entorno mágico
I THINK ITS BEAUTIFUL
Here's the video from Monday's spectacular storm at Porthleven on Cornwall's south coast.
Huge seas and high tide battered the sea front as winter storm 'Hercules' bore down on Cornwall
#storm #winter #cornwall #cornwallstorm
Lovely video - do you have any sound footage from it at all? Much as I like the music...
The buildings are so cute! #cute
This is how all coastal city’s should design their port. It’s taking a pounding like a summers day
Who ever built those harbour walls to protect and those houses knew the might of the sea. Hats off to them.
You would hope so
Amazing pictures, even though they’re having to fight against that awful durge music. Why do people feel the need to add music all the time?
If we have to have music can we have it in the background of the natural sounds?
There weren't any "natural" sounds...
Interesting how the seaward side of the clock tower is all rusted and broken but the sides facing elsewhere are clean and nice.
Brilliant clip and music fits perfectly - thanks
Biggest storm in 10 years BUT not the worst. December 1978 saw a Police Panda car and two Constables swept into the harbour too their deaths. A dangerous coastline with the nearby Loe Bar equally treacherous regularly snatching victims. Generally holidaymakers!
Fantastic,......,.....................

This is a cool video but the music really is dreadful.
Oh my...
The one on the night of February 5th was much worse the worst i have ever seen ,the day the harbour beams 2 ton each were broken like matchsticks amazing power of the waves . A huge rock near the cliffs where i live never ever moved was shunted 30yards down the coast must weight 50 tons never seen anything like it .The sea in a raging storm is amazing
You're right. Didn't really expect a worse storm within the month, after Hercules though.
brave people must live there in cornwall
We certainly do,
Sea was boiling!....Scary!
Music fits well, who is it?
It's one of UA-cam's freebies. They won't let you add your own if you use their video editor. It's called 'Grass'
Thanks for that. I remember standing on the harbour wall when it was rough as it blew the cobwebs out, not as rough as that though, great footage.
Look at the church tower moving at 1:36-2:04.
I was staying there in 1989 it was worse than this.really quite frightening the power of the sea
The music video adds the perfect The dramatic character
Super :-)
No time to go to sea
How come these people built so near the embankments?
Ana Sucena it's a fishing village. Needs to be by the sea. Porthleven is well protected by it's harbour wall and can withstand severe storms. Worth going there to see one. Awesome!!!
Yeh, I was hoping to hear the waves 🙄
Terrifying.......those who don’t know how to pray let them go to sea
I'd have watched it, looked good but you know storms are appreciated by all the senses. Only two are available via a computer screen or phone, seems a shame to mute the sounds and stick on some cheesy sound track.
There's no shortage of music videos online, you have added to the category. Most people watching this didn't come for the music.
I just cannot even begin to comprehend the mentality of people who do this. Why? Does anyone think putting music in place of the sounds of the storm a good thing? If there are you belong to a different species to me.
Goes a long way towards explaining the insanity evident daily by the dominant bipedal denizens of this planet. I think their days are numbered.. Bloody good thing too.
Have you ever heard what a force 10 gale sounds like when recorded on a cheap built in camera mic? Believe me it in no way sounds "natural".
That aside, I loved how you extrapolated from the use of a video soundtrack to the extinction of the human race... possibly without irony?!
@@cornwallguide You got some good shots, shame about the wind, I'm aware of the problem. I don't know how they do it but some people seem to have found a way of making reasonable enough sound recordings when videoing in stormy conditions.
Yes I was feeling grumpy. I am a bit disappointed by humanity en masse. Equally I am amazed and frankly shamed by the outstanding actions of others.
As for the survival of humanity, I believe there is a moral imperative for the species to survive. The long term survival of all life is dependant upon actions that can only be done by beings developed by/from us.
As you can see extrapolation from one issue to another is a characteristic of mine. In the highly unlikely event of your being interested in what I mean let me know and I will expound further.
Otherwise thank you for your time, I'll waste no more.
that isn't the biggest storm dude
It was the biggest in 10 years when I filmed it. The 2 that came after might have been bigger. Nothing like them since...
I agree wholeheartedly - great video, awful music choice...
Great video ruined by awful unnecessary music.
Whoever put this together... it's truly stunning! And yes... the music fits perfectly... so beautiful and haunting!
