- Minack Theatre and Lands End are insane! This really is the best of Cornwall and shows off the UK and England as a travel... ⬇ Click 'Show More' ✈ Learn to travel full-time: bit.ly/2PjaPey
Cornwall has quickly become our favourite spot in England, possibly even the UK at this point considering we haven't travel that far into it. In this particular vlog we got to discover Minack Theatre and Lands End and were just blown away (literally actually) all day long!
Minack Theatre has a fascinating story about how it came to be. We picked up a lot of the info from our Rabbies driver, Dean, as well as the musuem-ish on sight next to the Minack Theater. It really does need to be seend to be believed because its not something we expected to see in the UK.
Just around the road is Lands End, a very famous spot in the UK and about as far on the island of England as you can possibly go. The wind here was intense but the lookout was beautiful - the water below was clear, and the views are worth the travel into Cornwall to see.
This is the Bnb/Guesthouse we stayed in, the host was SO lovely! bit.ly/2Pp7MW7

I was just about to smugly point it out until I saw this ;-)
When you visit Cornwall during a heat wave, which I’ve done, you really don’t want to be anywhere else! That’s my opinion as a British person. 😎
Can imagine it's stunning in the sun/heat waves! Especially down on the beach there, amazing water and sand
just the roads are crap !!
You two are very respectful travellers. A big difference from the stereotypical American tourist.
Love this. I've only recently moved to Cornwall and even though I'd visited before, I saw my first Minack production last summer. It was mind blowing! We saw Sweeney Todd. We were then lucky enough to see the Christmas concert. Both times it rained and Christmas was FREEZING, but you take a cushion and a load of waterproofs, and I had my coffee in a thermos. Best theatre experience ever. X
That genuinely sounds like the most lovely experience! If you're prepared for the cold and youve got a show, thats amazing
28 miles west of Penzance, The Isles of Scilly have the best beaches, especially round Tresco.
I agree!
I have been to many beaches in the UK, including a couple of beaches in Cornwall, but I haven#t seen the water so clear like what you saw! AMAZING!
We were just as shocked as you! Beautiful place
@@DanegerAndStacey That is why it was cold :)
The theatre looks amazing! Such a cool and unique place! And this water... OMG! Incredible :)
Sounds like you're just as blown away as us, craziness huh!
I want to say thanks for all the work it takes to put this type of material on the interweb!! 👏👏 and two thumbs up mates!
So nice of you to say, most people don't recognise the work that goes into it - always nice to hear from someone who appreciates on that level! Thank you.
Thank you. I like your VDO.Beautiful England 😍😍.Castle🏰,football⚽,Knight of king, Kindness of king🙏🙏💕
Summer 2018 in Cornwall was hot and dry with hardly any rain for 3 months, the grass went brown, I live here, recorded 29 deg C in july in Bodmin for many days at my weather station. If you visit in Autumn, expect variable weather, especially this far north, when the equinoxial storms from the Atlantic move in. It is now mid Winter and sunny and 11 or 12 deg C, try finding that anywhere in the World this far from the equator in Winter, where -20 deg C is the norm!
Breathtaking! How awesome! You guys are looking great! Thank you again for sharing!
So so so amazing! One of our fav days in a looooong time, glad we could share.
I don't think video can do this place justice, but thanks for giving it a go!!!
Impossible to do it justice!
Was at a performance there one summer evening... and a huge sunfish swam past in the back ground!! Astounding and beautiful place
Love your Cornwall blogs! In fact I think your both great. Well done on all your videos👍😁xx
So nice to hear, thank you Dawn!
Pleasure having you guys on board great work on the video - Dean x
Thanks mate, you were an awesome guide!
Wow that is awesome how the theatre began. It's awesome that it still there and has been preserved. The cold hit you guys hard.
We've warmed up in Bali now :)
Oh nice smoothie addiction is right back on track.
Omg when you was walking down the steps to the theatre I was thinking that so reminded of plovdiv in Bulgaria and you said it. Great minds think alike
That's kinda crazy, not many people would be able to make that comparison with us! Glad you've also been
Always love watching your journey Daneger & Stacey❤️❤️ cute couples.. thanks for sharing.. i will travel outside Southeast Asia one day..🙏 Safe travel always, have a cozy one, and live happily ever after😊😘
Thanks for watching along with us :) We'll be back in SEA soon so you can see what we get up to then!
I live in Cornwall for 6 Years it’s a beautiful place
You fixed the flag!..... and made it to Falmouth. My lil home away from home. Hope ya'll got a Philps pasty. How could anyone not love Cornwall?? Proper job!
Yup we fixed a few of the flags, people be hating on us haha
Ohhhh someone has new shows!!!!
when Danger said "We have been blown" and i thought no wonder with such harsh wind..stay warm, and hydrated! :)
Good morningggggggggg!!! Happy Wednesday!
Hope this starts your day off with a win!
In a way, I'm glad you saw Lands End on a more typical (for the UK) windy day as it all adds to the drama of the location. Basically there is no land mass to stop those south westerly winds as they come in off thousands of miles of Atlantic Ocean, so the south west takes the full brunt! I last visited there in the summer of 1967 and it was blowing a gale then too, so little changes :)
Hahaha little has changed! Except for maybe the volume of 'tourist shops' there now to cater to visitors :P
@@DanegerAndStacey I have been there many times, winter and summer. It can be amazing with blue sea and all blue sky. It can be hot and very windy at the same time. Winter with horizontal rain is a challenge.
Lovely. New to this. I enjoyed it. Well done
Hi you guys England coast looks amazing! Love you're work and vlogs
Cheers mate!
Cornwall coast looks amazing
Great work guys,try coming in the summer next time lol,really enjoyed it because on most vids similar to these theres too much talking & not enough scenery shown,you give just enough history then on with the views......Perfect
Glad we've found the right balance - its a tough one to get right, but always nice to hear it's appreciated when we do!
I went there with my girlfriend almost two months ago and went swimming at the beach you just showed! it is really clear but that wind makes it so cold that I could only stay in for like 5 min. So cool to see it from your point of view though, best that your back in Bali now!
Stoked that you've got to see it yourself - was it super busy that time of year? Looks like the ultimate beach spot from above anyway, few more rays of sun and we'd be happy
@@DanegerAndStacey It wasn't that busy surprisingly, maybe it was because its quite difficult to get to without having a car yourself maybe, its the best i've seen in the UK so far though!
Awesome vlog Daneger and pirate 😂😂.. slowly making my way through.. btw.. my name’s ROWENA! was awesome to hear it while watching 🤙✌️
Haha thanks so much! You're famous in these neck of the woods :P
Awesome vids guys !!
Thanks Robert!
Just discovered your channel and loving it. Just to let you know that isn't cold, the postman will still be wearing shorts this time if year.
Haha that's brilliant! For us it definitely is, we've been in sun only for the last 2 years of travel for the most part... quite fun though layering up.
That water is so clear, this is amazing... but man, it must have been so cold..brutal
Everyone seemed cold, but we were the weakest of the pack after chasing the sun for so long haha
Hope you go to Scotland next! It'd be amazing to see that place through your vlogs. :)
We were soooo close... but going to Ireland next
I like this video. What a good looking couple and you seem like genuine people. :) I'm searching places in Cornwall to visit this Spring. Hard to pick one place for just 3 nights.
Thank you! You'll love Cornwall - great place!
Hi Guys, stunning scenery but looks a little coolish, even so, very entertaining vlog again. How long do you think you'll be in the UK, looking for a white Xmas somewhere?
We've only got a few more videos from the UK, then Spain for a quick weekend before back to Asia - we're chasing the sun!
Looked cold!
Great video and I love Cornwall. Used to live there and have been there four times this year so far as it's only a three hour drive for me. However...... Surprised Stacey didn't get told off for eating the cream tea wrong. Cornish Cream Teas have Jam first then Cream on top! She had it cream and then Jam. That's a Devonshire Cream Tea. Enjoy though and keep up the great work with the Vlogs.
Ahh Marc - you might have seen in the 3 or 4 videos before this we've had cream tea daily and always ate it the 'correct way' depending on where we are... but the Devon way is definitely our preference and this was the first time we went bugger it and just ate it for the taste.
@@DanegerAndStacey haha.. I did watch the other videos but after and out of order. Great videos as always. Thanks also for your hints and tips on Krakow. (especially the free walking tours) came in very handy when we went last month 👍🏼
The whole of the West of Britain gets all the Westerly winds rain ( and storms ) from the Atlantic Ocean first. Hence all the greenery. Conversly, the Eastern side id dryer and warmer
Drier and colder. South westerlies are warm and wet nort-easterlies cooler but drier.
@@raymartin7172 was just going to say that exact thing lol.. you saved me having to. :D
Check out Minack webcam on a sunny day. It's great!
Ahh we'd be too jealous! haha
So beautiful.
Such a beautiful place!
You poor guys. I was there in May and it was absolutely stunning in the sun. You guys have certainly developed a taste for those clotted cream teas.
The love for cream tea is strong!!
It was hot and sunny all june, july and august as well
Enjoy UK guys ...Are you still there now??? Very nice scenery...Here in Canada it gets cold in the winter sometimes -20 or -30 degrees celcius
-30 degrees is insanity haha! We've left the UK now, last few videos to come from our time and then Spain very quickly :)
I wonder how you two will survive Norway, ICeland,Greenland and Canada in winter? hmm my advise- a lot of warm scarfs will help to the face and neck, and gloves for the hands...although they are not helpful to hold the cam and phones...
With the right clothing we'd be fine - we knew England would be cold but we just made do with the same clothes we travel the world with basically!
awesome
Need to visit here
Lands End is the most westerly, but not the most southerly point in England. It was spoiled many years ago now, when it was bought by a private developer
A must do Once.
Aw you're so brave getting out and about in that cold! When does Daneger the Pirate get a feature 😂
It's a tough life being the only non-pirate in a relationship :(
@@DanegerAndStacey 😂😂
What is the minimum time you recomend to visit Minack? And Land's End?
Individually they each deserve 1-3 hours. That whole area of the country is stunning though, a few days would be great to spend down there
Pirates were real, The Admiral Benbow pub is in Penzance and dates back beyond the pirate days, but there is a tunnel that pirates used that runs from the beach to the pub. The pub is mentioned I think in the book Treasure Island.
Cornwall isn't known for it's pirates lol.. we were known for our smuggling entirely different thing! And we only did that because of the high taxes imposed on the salt to fund another royal war! We used to supply the majority of pilchards and to do that we needed salt. Without the fish we didn't feed ourselves... but the price of the salt was four times what the fish were worth. So just to correct your history lesson! :D
Also another myth we didn't wreck ships either, because as hundreds of sailors have stated over and over again, you steer away from light.. not towards it so if someone was waving a lantern on the cliffs you'd steer away. It was something that Lyods bank started, because they got fed up with paying out due to all the shipwrecks off our Cornish coastline.
It didn't matter that, Cornwall has had dangerous waters and coastline forever! Again this has been proven over and over again.. and of course not ONE PERSON, in Cornwall has ever been tried for wrecking...
In fact if it wasn't for all the Cornish in villages and towns that turned out time and time again to try and rescue these men (many who died in the process) the deaths would have been double! Literally entire coastle villages turned out to help.... and if you go check the Gibson collection you'll even see the lines that the village people held to allow for the ship moving in the sea to get a breaches boy across. It was also a Cornishman Henry Trengrouse who invented the breeches boy and rocket to aide rescue! As well as the life jacket and a self righting life boat..
@@LindaTCornwall Yes. I remember Penlee.
Can you guys go to Japan and Korea next? East Asia will be cool to watch you travel. Love your videos
Not next, but we're planning to visit both! Japan in particular has been on our list for literally years
Daneger and Stacey yay I look forward to it whenever it happens 😊 i went in April this year during cherry blossom season and it was amazing and plan to go again one day. I will live vicariously through you two when you go 👍
Do you guys travel carry on only? Would love to see a packing video you guys seem pretty minimalistic! 🧡
We have 1 suitcase between us, not quite efficient enough to go that small yet. Hoping to do a packing video in the next few months.
Daneger and Stacey that’s pretty efficient considering you guys are youtubers (all the equipment). Looking forward to the packing video 🤗🤗🤗 hugs from Canada.
As long as no airline ever weighs our carry on we’re safe 🤐
Daneger and Stacey hahaha 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Reminds me of home Ireland. Definitely want to do this tour of the South of England. Thanks guys for this wonderful video.
Northern Ireland is next for us!
So what did you think of the Scrumpy?
When I was at Lands End, i was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Looks like it's a wee bit cooler now. LOL I had some of the tastiest cornish pasties in Penzance! Can you please stop torturing me with creamed tea? I'm on keto now and can't keep watching you eat such tasty sweet and carby deliciousness!
Wow - either the weather was amazing or you're brave... or maybe both? Depends if you're doing fortnightly re-feeds though, you could eat a loooot of scones on a refeed day :P
@@DanegerAndStacey The weather was totally brilliant when I visited. The sun was out, wind was pleasant and temp was around 21C. I don't know if you've noticed my travel vlogs of late but I've piled on the weight since I started my foodie adventure four months back. In fact, one sub said that my face is starting to look like the moon (jokingly of course). LOL I'm trying hard to keep around 9 net carbs or below. Will do re-feed days once I've reached my target fat loss (not concerned about weight so much) goal.
I heard the shows at Minack theatre are sometimes interrupted by the local pod of dolphins when they come to play in the bay.
That soundns brilliant!
When were you in the UK? was it this summer?
Literally like a few weeks ago :)
Travel With Mansoureh it’s a shame because our summer this year in Cornwall was amazing. Apart from April when it snowed
Can I make a small request? In your series on a particular place, could you please number the separate videos. It doesn't always matter, but sometimes gets confusing when you refer back to something I haven't seen yet. Thanks.
Lands end was named lands end because it was the end of the known world before America wad discovered/documented, also you went to porthcourno and didn't mention once anything about it's telecommunications history.
Thanks for the info! As travellers we do our best, but A) can't know every single fact and B) the video can't turn into a history lesson.
WHERE ARE YOU HEADING NEXT?
IRELAND!
Do you guys miss England or enjoying that sunny weather in Bali??
Missing days like this in England for sure, so stunning! But maybe if we could have the warm weather of Bali there as well haha
@@DanegerAndStacey Yeah for sure, Bali has really nice weather! Least you guys can appreciate the warmth after coming from England :D
You need a nice cosy pub with a fire guys 😃😘
Thats 1000% right. We spent a lot of time in those, we should start a second channel for our night time pints and guiness runs haha
Now you know why there is so much wholesome food in Britain. It helps to fuel the body!
Ist's Beautiful and I visit in 2015😃💟
Hope you had an amazing trip in 2015!
I absolutely adore Cornwall. 4 years and my family and I will be living there
So do we - so beautiful!
As is the case everywhere (but especially Britain) the weather is important, a nice and Sunny warm day, is 50% of the enjoyment, in my opinion. OR, as they say in the Lake District, It's not the weather thats bad, you have the wrong clothes on that's all'.
What exactly is a Cornish cream tea? I’ve never heard of it. And it’s not actually tea that you drink?
It looks delicious.
Essentially English cream tea, its a scone with clotted cream and jam + a cup of tea. The Cornish part is putting the jam first, then the cream on top. That distinction makes it 'theirs'.
@@DanegerAndStacey Plus it is probably local cream that they make the clotted cream from and local strawberry jam.
@@DanegerAndStacey a real Cornish cream tea is a Cornish Split, its a kind of sweetened soft bread roll, then jam then thick crusty clotted cream, all washed down with a cup of white tea, no sugar 💖
Best beach in England,trying going up to Northumberland
Should see Porth Curno at low tide it's even better. Sadly Lands End has been spoilt by a company turning into what I can best describe
as a tacky tourist theme park with shops etc, aimed at the tourist trade.
Can only imagine how amazing it is with better weather - the photos weve seen were perfect, we missed out.
Peter de Savary... that's the name you're looking for! He's hated here in Cornwall for ruining out beautiful Lands End.
I live in penzance!!!
I'm too old to be out in the cold!
Haha sounds like us
Unfortunately you have come at the wrong time of year. At the end of October the temperature drops....and doesn't climb again until March. I have been waiting to see your faces when it does all week. . I think Rabbies do a superb job and really show off the country well. I might do a trip to Yorkshire next year.
Can't have it all we suppose, less people (which we love) because of the weather but the rain and wind is unpredictable. A bit of shock in this one, but we sort of like it as a change from the heat.
wow Stacey is related to pirate ,gosh Daneger you better watch as Stacey might go for your booty ,lol . another great vid thanks guys ,loved it .
Hahaha I'll be keeping my gold and rum tucked away from now
they were called smugglers
Its a shame your not seing Cornwall in the beautiful sun shine.
Still beautiful with a bit of wind, as long as its not raining we're happy!
@@DanegerAndStacey true but going up on to bodmin moors in sun an having drink at famous JAMACA INN.. bodmin moors are stunning . Iv spent alot time on those moors.
Cornwall is named as California of UK. I think you were unlucky this time :) 😜
With the weather, definitely! But thats normal this time of year, our choice we gotta live with
Yeah. Unlucky! Anyone would think it was November!
Well, it is nearly winter!
Carving a theatre out of a vertical rock face ?? You tend to do crazy shit when it rains 360 days of the year ;)
HAHAHA
HAHAHA
Stacey - I mean this as a compliment - you look very South Asian. Do you have any roots from India?
Stace is born an raised in NZ, but her Dad is from Malaysia and her Mum is from NZ
Thanks I appreciate you humoring my curiosity!
lol... I'm just going to say it, because it needs to be said haha.. "Jam first!" :D You're in cornwall not devon haha... You should have visited Cape Cornwall for views, lands end is just a torist trap now. It used to be beautiful when I was young before they built the amuzement trap and hotel... yuck, none of us locals visit it any more.. :( Back then it was just cliff walks, and gauze bush, and of course the fist and last house. Sadly when Cornwall started really booming in torist trade from sixties onwards everything slowly started to change down here. Until it resulted in places changing drastically and you end up with the monstrosity that's there at lands end. Thanks for that Peter de Savary!
We tried both ways, being sure to only experiment in the right locations, but kept coming back around to cream first IF it's think and clotted. Shame that things have changed so much!
@@DanegerAndStacey By the way (as a Cornish historian) can I just correct you on the whole smuggling thing.. firstly we didn't hit boats, we weren't pirates, and while we are at it, we also weren't wreckers either, (a rumour started by Lloyds of London, due to the large number of ships that floundered on our coastline, that they didn't want to pay up the insurance on) I know you didn't mention wreckers, but I thought I'd clear that one up for anyone else reading this lol.. and it had nothing to do with luxury items lol.. Not in the begining anyway. Don't know who told you that.
The fact is smuggling was down to the crown levieing a REALLY high tax on salt (a lot higher than they levied on luxury items, so Cornwall was hit the hardest) to fund their war against first against America and then France.. and as cornwall's main industry apart from our mining, was Pilchard Fishing, it required a HUGE amount of high grade salt.
After they increased the cost of the salt, it became so that the salt cost ten times more than what the fish were worth. So we lost all means of supporting ourselves, and meant we started to starve, which is why we started smuggling. Our fishermen would go across to France and bring back brandy, tobacco, tea and silks to sell. This kept entire villages from starving to death in the 18th century and early 19th. :D
There isn't a town in Cornwall that didn't have a customs pipe at one time or another, Falmouth were I am from still has their customs pipe, known locally as The King's Pipe. You need a better guide, if that is what you were told by the guide lol...
@@DanegerAndStacey ua-cam.com/video/9SppBjO09ic/v-deo.html this is a good doc for explaining it.
I'm afraid you don't get a country that green without a certain amount of rain!
Yup, very true. Amazing to see either way
David Beckham is that you?
Yeah I do vlogs now - spread the word :P
I live here
Beautiful place to live!
Same!!
You are complaining about the weather but it's October.
Complaining? Haha. We'd just spent 2 years in summer, talking about the weather isn't complaining mate. We loved it.
You need to wear socks!!!! That is why you are so cold.
Haha we are! They're just really small.
Now I know where the Clothing company got its name.
No kidding around there, is literal is no land but cliffs and sea, such beautiful sights behoove ones imagination of actually going there and feeling that cold wind kicking your teeth in!! Glad they found a shelter from the wind that had a cool story as well.
You really need to get on Ancestry and research if you really do have Cornwall connections!
Shame you ended up at Land's End, a tacky tourist trap. The previous "Land's End" is a few miles along the coast and is called Cape Cornwall and is much more beautiful, wilder and not touristy.
You have to pay to have a picture with the lands end sign. It’s ridiculous now
No way, really?
Daneger and Stacey yeah, the whole area is cut off with a booth saying £10 per small picture and it can only be taken with their photographer. it was the only disappointing attraction in Cornwall. Everything else was beautiful
That is actually crazy, what a shame!
No , more like the Danger Pirate lol
Pirate Danger is the perfect name!
@@DanegerAndStacey Exactly, Let it be Known to all whom shall see this, Pirate Danger with Stacey has arrived!!!
Tedious background music rather spoiled an otherwise interesting production.
Advice t0 our american visitors- don't go to Lands End it is a rip off, there are lots of stunning places you can see on the Cornish coast for free
The minack is amazing
Not a fan of the music
Haha
First
🏆 Champ is hurrrr
@@DanegerAndStacey you can wear your jackets here in Chicago as well you know.
