- Filming our Cornwall episode in southwest England, we enjoyed a play at the amazing Minack Theatre. Here’s how our script describes it:
The big draw here is the Minack Theatre, carved out of rock high above the surf. This open-air theater - with 700 seats - is gorgeously landscaped and set in a rocky cliff with a terrace stage perched hundreds of feet over the sea. A visit by day lets you marvel at the garden-like setting and the story of Rowena Cade, the visionary theater lover who created it.
If the weather’s fine and you're here at lunch or dinnertime, get a Cornish pasty and a bottle of elderflower pressé (a local herbal drink) and grab a grassy seat at the high end of the theater for a memorable picnic. Watch the gannet birds dive for a fresh fish lunch. They hit the water at 70 miles per hour. (Sadly, many of their children follow their parent’s lead and dive for a fish before they understand how to do it safely...and later wash up on the shore with broken necks.)
This is Day 77 of my 100 Days in Europe series. As I research my guidebooks and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences and lessons learned in Vienna, the Alps, the Low Countries, England, and beyond. Find more on my travel blog at blog.ricksteves.com.
I went there on an absolutely beautiful summer day. The sea was a wonderful shade of blue/green and the flowers were all blooming. It was such a great place to visit.
Minnack is truely the most stunning open air theather in the world.
I lived in the Westcountry for 44 years, went all over but never set foot on the Minack theatre, passed close by across the bay by boat though, spectacular !
Beautiful place! Great video. Thanks for sharing.
These little Jems.💎
lovely place
Novel idea of open air theatre
did they film game of thrones there because it looks very familiar?
You move the camera around far too fast - makes me feel sick watching the footage on 43 inch TV. Smooth and gentle movements next time please.
Not as good as the spectacular theatrical shows me and wife produce regularly in my bedroom.. 👍🏻👍🏻
Why Cornwall doesnt want to be independent? Their culture is different from English
Are you serious right now? So simply because two different people have a different culture that means they should immediately throw up borders between them and form different nations? What's next? Southern Germany secedes from Northern Germany because they have different accents and variations in culture? The person who built this isn't even from Cornwall, she was from Northern England.
It's divisive and bigoted people like you who ruin this world.
