In search of Round Houses, smuggling and the longest grave? Walking from Veryan to Portloe Cornwall.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- In our video we start our walk in Veryan on the Roseland Peninsula. This walk is very special to us because it was the first walk we filmed and uploaded to UA-cam in September 2016. We have been keen to re-film this walk in our style today, to compare with our first ever video - hopefully today's video is better!
In Veryan, we discover a pond that is reputed to go back to the doomsday era! After arriving in Portloe, we explore the cove in search of some lime kilns with a tragic history and learn a little about its links to smuggling in bygone eras.
We pick up the South West Coast Path and head towards a large, elegant property called Broom Parc, used in an adaptation of the Camomile Lawn in the 1990s. At this point we head back inland to Veryan in search of the famous round houses that used to define the beginning of the village. Just why are they round?
We also find the longest grave in England in honour of men that lost their lives on a shipwreck in 1914. Packed with views, history and the usual puns, join us on our wander from Veryan to Portloe.
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on UA-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!
Frequently asked questions:
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.
What is your dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

Your Cornish videos just keep getting better. 1.The vicar's headstone, "Sown in corruption, raised in incorruption", is part of a well known and beautiful promise from the Bible - 1st Corinthianians 15:42. The quote and verse recognises the vicar's human sinful state, "sown in corruption" - as we all are - see Romans 3:23, however his death will not be permanent, he will be resurrected to glory ie - "raised in incorruption", 1st Corinthians 15:43. A beautiful promise for the faithful vicar and all mankind. 2. "Resurgimus". We will rise again, by resurrection from death.
Thanks for explaining, makes more sense with a religious context, A fantastic monument! Sarah :)
I just read your wonderful comment right after I wrote mine, above. I scanned through to see if anyone had answered this question, but somehow missed yours. Blessings!
My friend and I are touring Cornwall in our camper vans. Yesterday we walked down to Portloe and had a drink at The Ship Inn....what a lovely, unspoilt little place. Thank you so much for your wonderfully informative and entertaining videos.
Loved the picture of the pinks. Not seen for many years
Catching up on your amazing videos, it's not just my memories, or your fabulous recording & editing, it's you bringing it all alive, like the comment made about a school friend.
The rate I was going, I would be eighty before I catch up.
Thank you so much.
I enjoyed watching your walk around Veryan - thanks for posting. We first discovered Portloe in 1966 on our first ever visit to Cornwall, solely because it was shown in the then current AA Member’s Handbook as being a small village situated directly on the coast. Without previously booking we found B&B in a small cottage overlooking the harbour for 15/s a night. From there we discovered the beautiful sandy beaches of West Portholland and returned to the area every year thereafter. We loved the area so much, we determined we wanted to live in Cornwall and by change of careers it took us several years to accomplish. In 1979 we moved to Cornwall and brought up our young family there. All because of a random decision to visit Portloe, a remote place otherwise unknown to us because of its entry in a motorist’s handbook. In those days lots of locals in Devon and Cornwall had B&B boards displayed in their front window. Why the AA then thought it necessary to give directions to Portloe, a fishing village with very limited parking, has always puzzled me, but I’m glad it did. Incidentally 15/s is equivalent to 75 pence in today’s money.
You two are a 10 out of 10 for me. Great vid. Thank you. Love from Galicia.
Well said Ian, the resurrection is that becon of hope passed on down through the centuries that the beauty and history of these very old cottages in Cornwall encourages me here in New Zealand.
Top quality, again !!!
Thank you,
On the subject of camels,, up on the M5 , around j25 , there was a fiberglass camel in a field, he was there for years,. Humphrey was his name, he went through such trauma, he was Kidnapped ! Savaged by a bull ! But ended up having a baby !?!? Don't ask !!!! They were there till a few yrs back and now have vanished 😒😟
BRING BACK HUMPHREY !!!!
Keep up the good work 🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟
I'm immobile and I distinctly watch cornish walking trails and pretend Im walkin' as you go along those beautiful places.I wanna go! I wanna go! Abby
In a crazy, topsy-turvy world..... your videos are a precious nugget of tranquility, relaxation, scenic beauty and wonderful commentary. I thank you both from the bottom of my heart. My wife and I have visited Cornwall every year (sometimes twice a year) from West Yorkshire since 1998. Sadly, with the current state of affairs and higher accommodation prices, we will have to pass this year. Coverack, Coverack Bridges, Kennack Sands and Ashton have been our usual bolt holes in the county.
Many thanks again, Rob.
We have heard rumours of some very 'greedy' prices. not being in the tourist industry we are not able to confirm either way! Sarah :)
Golly you guys sure grew up in a beautiful place! And all the royal history! My right hip and left knee went out on me when I was only 58. Gained weight and no surgery till I lose. I actually go on walks with you guys while your walkin' sad part is I was like you all over the mountains in santa barbara. I need to make a come back.hope for me that I can! K? Bye. Abby "a friend of a friend"
Good luck with losing some weight and getting back to enjoying outdoors! Sarah :)
Very interesting and educational, another great walk.
Such an uplifting walk & video! ~ the perfect antidote to 'one of those weeks'. What a lovely surprise to see 'Broom Parc'. I watched the tv re-run of The Camomile Lawn not so long ago (its drama still survives the passage of time). I'd always wondered about the location of the house ~ what an amazing setting! The memorial to those sailors lost in the shipwreck was very moving ~ the Cornish seem always to have gallantly upheld that worthy maritime tradition of never allowing any unfortunates lost at sea to be forgotten. BTW, how vocal were those crows in Veryan churchyard!. Loved the Johnny Morris impression (doggie's voice) at the end Andrew. I'm guessing the TV prog: 'Animal Magic' will have been way before your time!
The verse on Jeremiah Trist's stone is taken from the King James Bible: 1 Corinthians 15:42 "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption" - A newer translation of this verse from the English Standard Version reads, 'So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable." It simply refers to the Christian belief that our human bodies were "sown" or created as mortal - we will die, but after those that trust Christ for salvation will be raised from the dead and made new in a body that will never die. - So all it shows about Jeremiah's family is what they believed, not that they were involved in anything they shouldn't have been - at least that we can't tell from the engraved verse if they were! I enjoyed your video so much and now I am a subscriber! Can't wait to watch more!
Just returned from IOW where you couldn't go walking without being blown off the cliff by 85mph gusts! So this was a treat to watch! I remember the first video actually. I didn't realise how long I have been looking into your Cornish walks. Both doggies back in the day walking and playing together. Bless your lovely dog being lifted over the stiles & ending the vid in his inimitable style! As always, a very interesting walk with history thrown in along the way. Interesting to read some of the others' comments on here on this one. J x
Glad to hear you had a little break, even if it was so gusty! Sarah :)
Oh Sarah, you are so lovely.Im a lady in my 60's and when I was thinner I walked all over santa barbara.trails in mtn.'s etc.but hip blew and am now heavy and confined to a wheelchair and scooter but do want correction and beautiful walking to come back.you are a great example and sooo pretty.hi Andrew! Abby
What a great video! Full of history, beautiful architecture, a ship wreck, a graveyard visit, cliffs with huge drops and a house out in the middle of nowhere. Best of all are Andrew's jokes! You ticked all the boxes today!
Cheers! Sarah :)
When you mentioned that the devil cannot hide in a corner in a round house, it reminded me that here in upstate New York where I live, there are still some old octagonal chicken houses. Apparently this shape was best for raising chicks 🐥; in rectangular houses they would sometimes crowd into corners and get smothered.
I’m loving your walks; I have a bad leg and can’t go nearly that far any more!
a wonderful video with these little interesting things, like the great wall with the bottles and figures or the longest grave in UK. I think it's nice to integrate such things into your hike. Have a nice Pentecost to you. stay healthy Greetings Günter
another awesome video,, its good with lots of historic stops,, it lets ppl know what to look for when they do it,, u guys r fantastic,,,,, HI Puppy ,,, love from Australia
So cool, Sarah :)
One of your best, very interesting in a place I don't think I've visited but actually dived on the 'Hera' wreck about 40yrs ago....the ship actually hit the massive Gul Rock you can see about half a mile out or so from the coast.
Wow - thought that would have decayed by now! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails .....yes not much left of it but small parts of wooden hull barely visible.
@@stephenjohns3817 thank you. I found a UA-cam video of divers on the wreck.
I love you guys, apart from being able to (virtually) join you in your walks ..
You're so entertaining!
I was at Portloe on Tuesday for my coastal walk. Absolutely stunning.
Had to wait untill now to watch due to work, it's kept me going knowing your video was there to watch and what a fabulous video once again, you never disappoint.
Thank you so much
Xx🤗
A great video Sarah and Andrew very interesting the history love the houses camels get the hump 😂 enjoyed the video .Look forward to the next video .Your dog so cute in the video
Thanks 👍
Another fab video. Almost feel I am there with you and as I consider a month when i am not in cornwall a month too long, its kept me going feeding my cornwall cravings. Very informative and interesting as well. ❤
Hi Sarah & Andrew. Loved your very informative walk today. The round houses and villages looked quaint. Marie
Lovely walk. Portloe reminds me of Port Isaac. The buildings are similar. Doggie was very sweet as usual. 🐕👟😁
They are! I can see the similarity! Sarah :)
Terrific vlog guys, without doubt one of your best
Absolutely love this walk you did. I think it's my favorite one so far. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Sandra and Andrew. I loved this video. Also I looked up The Hera, found how to read an old gravestone with either a big mirror or aluminium foil and I also saw a very attractive holiday roundhouse at St Minver on the internet.
Thank you, loved this walk, I could almost smell the seaweed ☺️☺️☺️
Lovely walk. The Camomile house is The one I would choose if I was rich. Thank you.
Good choice! And a great view of the sea from there, Sarah :)
You’re both wonderful !💜💐love the videos-all vicarious treks that I’ll never be able to go on-thank you SO much-what a gift to everyone -really fun and uplifting 💕
You're welcome! Sarah :)
Like your videos, we’re looking forward to going back to England,we’d love to go visit Cornwall,thank you so much for all your great info,
Hello from Niagara 🇨🇦
Hi to you in Niagara! Lovely to think you might be watching our little channel! Sarah :)
What a beautiful walk and fascinating graveyard, they’re always steeped in history and I love learning the stories that they hold xx
Hi Sarah and Andrew
Your favourite little yellow and white cottage on the end in Portloe is where we stayed at christmas.
Oooo! Is it as cute on the inside as the outside? I noticed they were decorating when we were filming! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails
It was very quirky and quite big inside with great views. We loved it and will definitely return one day.
Such a lovely video 😊 You are making everything really interesting. Great history details and great filming. I also watched your video from 2016. Though you have clearly improved, and the video quality is also better, I must say you were pretty good then as well ❤ Have a great weekend. Torunn 😄
Thank you so much! Sarah :)
Enjoy the birds acoustics in the background . . .
They were so noisy! I felt video bombed! Sarah :)
Another very enjoyable walk and always topped up with loads of interesting history info! 🏃🌄🌳⚓🏠 Love Cornwall especially the Roseland area💙
Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah :)
Love your vlog guys - so informative and laid back. Just a Christian fact - we are all born in corruption due to the fall of Adam, but are raised in glory and incorruption if we believe in God's sacrifice in Jesus Christ. Keep up the good work, so much more entertaining than boring tv x
Another great walk. One to definitely try when in Cornwall. I just re-watched the £10 crab sandwich one. You can see the difference in your filming styles but the older ones have a certain natural charm anyway 😊
Nice one! Sarah :)
Another lovely video. The history sections are very interesting. ie The Vicars headstone and the sad story of the shipwreck. 💕
Another great video and interesting history. Thanks Bob
When Andrew lifted your dog off the stile, I thought he was going to do the same for you, Sarah. The two round houses were very nicely thatched and maintained. Beautiful, and that wall with all the figures built into it. Quite unique. Take care. x x
i believe the round houses may be holiday lets now, Sarah :)
Fabulous video as per usual, full of interesting facts and beautiful scenery xx
I always thought Resurgam meant rise again.? Also in the original Poldark series I think Francis writes Resurgam on the mine ( wall?), that went bankrupt and closed.
Thx, and good weekend
🐾🐾🐾👌👌👌😁😘
Camomile Lawn…yes we just watched it on Amazon Prime ..
Isn’t that house a B&B now ?
I think it is something like a B&B although the National Trust own it and may rent it as an entire house! Sarah :)
Hi Sarah and Andrew. There is more information concerning the wreck of the Hera and a photo of the ship here: www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?77352
Ooo! Thank you! Sarah :)
The roundhouses look like muffins. No wonder you started thinking about cakes 🧁 🧁
We were thinking the same thing - just need some flake to make the thatch! Sarah :)
Portloe where Crooks in Cloisters was filmed, Bernie Cribbins and Babs Windsor and others, back in the 60s , this old home movie clip shows the events, and with Barbara Windsor at 1.10 it looks like Andrews yellow cottage was yellow back then. ua-cam.com/video/7c_HjkSTql4/v-deo.html
Great tip - we watched with fascination! Sarah :)
hello its me again asking for no corny jokes.he he
I am sorry about my dislike i was enjoying the walk until minute 6:03 you was filming my mother’s house without her permission. She lives alone and didn’t feel safe knowing that your showing people her house without her nets in her windows. I hope next time when you film people’s homes you ask for permission.Lovely video though Craig and Emma.👍🏻
Hi there, We did not mean to cause any offence by filming this particular house. I think your comment has given far more information about your mother's circumstances than anything we said in the video, and compromised her privacy and it leaves me concerned for her. Perhaps you would consider taking your comment down. If you can't take it down, let me know and I will do so to protect her. Whether you leave a like or dislike on the grounds of which houses we chose to film, is obviously your choice, although seems a little mean-spirited! Sarah
@@CornishWalkingTrails sorry sarah just realised it weren’t her house haven’t seen her in 60 years
