    That 1st glimpse of sand & sea is breathtaking! If I can snag a day off with my offspring, I'm heading to the City to get my little piggies in the water at S.F.'s Ocean Beach or a less populated site along the Pacific Coast Hwy. Tis time to walk amongst the Redwoods once again also. Feeling that spring's here renewal time, birthday's coming up, gotta get myself outside in the sunshine real soon fever comin' on again! Cheers!

    This is a walk we have done many times over the years that we had a caravan next to the golf course, as you say much safer to walk from the golf club to the entrance of Perran Sands Holiday Park and on to Tollgate Boy, do i miss the Indian restaurant near were you got your ice creams, one of the best we have eaten in. Thank you so much for making me feel hungry.

    Bye for now.

    Hi Guys, I've been really enjoying your walks since finding your channel 👌😁. I live in Cornwall with my husband and Whippet Merlin and enjoy walking so much, and what better places to walk than Cornwall eh. Unfortunately lately, I seem to have picked up a problem in one of my feet, so haven't been able to walk for a couple of weeks very far, so your walks have been a real treat to watch and not only that... I've picked up from you some amazing facts and historical stuff that I didn't know about.. including hearing that a small pasty is now called a pixie pasty...who new 😂. We have a staycation holiday coming up end of September in St Just, which we've been to a few times now for holidays, and I'm really looking forward to trying the St Just to Gwenver Sands walk that you did. I have walked the coast there a fair amount but never the inland bit, so can't wait....foot permitting of course 🙏🍀. Looking forward to seeing more from you both... happy walking 😁👌💝😘

    Great video. Lovely walk. Amazing to see so many people out. Do you all mask up when you go inside businesses? In Los Angeles even vaccinated people have to wear masks indoors due to the Delta Variant.

    • @CornishWalkingTrails
      @CornishWalkingTrails  3 роки тому +1

      The rules about masks are changing all the time, currently optional although we are continuing to wear them inside, even though we have had our jabs. We just really want to avoid COVID and it seems . simple thing to do! Sarah :)

    Marvelous walking trail!!
    So impressed with St. Piran Oratory.
    wild flowers n lovely dunes on the way.
    Incredible ocean view!!
    So happy to see your couple enjoying the beach barefoot.
    The strong sounds of waves are extremely cool enough to cool down hot waves here in Seoul
    Yummy ice cream!!
    really enjoyed your tour
    With many thumbs up👍🎉

    Sarah, every time you get an ice cream, I wonder if I’m you’d really love it in a cone. Do gluten free cones not exist? X

    • @CornishWalkingTrails
      @CornishWalkingTrails  3 роки тому +1

      Being gluten free is a funny thing! Some people wholeheartedly embrace it and make every effort others will pay a token gesture, and a cafe will reflect the attitude of the owner! If they are paying only a token gesture, then more that likely I find that 'gluten free' is not well understood and I risk a reaction so I am much happier and healthier if I assume its 'token gesture'! I've just been caught out so many times!! Sarah :)

    Lovely,
    Just proves that you can find a bit of peace and tranquillity if you stay away from the herd mentality.
    Down the Holywell bay end you get very few people on the beach.
    Cornish fudge ice-cream from the ice cream shak at the Lizard ! Mmmm
    Also Berrymans pasties at perranporth ,extra large of course !!!
    Keep up the good work and the erm, jokes? 😁🥟🥟🥟🥟👍

    • @CornishWalkingTrails
      @CornishWalkingTrails  3 роки тому +1

      So true! Like you say, the closer we were to Perranporth, the closer the beach towels were to each other. It literally looked as if some had walked over the bridge and said 'that will do!' How much they miss!! Sarah :)

    Visited the Oratory in about 1960, the roof was intact then, very dark inside. Looks like you had good weather, we had a damp 3 weeks end June till 11 July , scortchio when we got home. Always next year.

    I am a senior living in Alberta Canada with mobile issues but I would so love to visit there but sadly can't. So therefore I enjoy your beautiful walks and the history to go along with them. I was born in England, in Bristol but came to Canada when I was only 5. I do have a cousin living in Cornwall and I hear from her occasionally. So keep up the beautiful videos and I love to see your sweet dog, although I have forgotten his name. Thank you for the great videos.

    'floating on a millstone.' - across the Irish Sea? On a millstone? It's no wonder these stories are myths. Nice walk, I can put my feet up now.

  • @marylewis201
    @marylewis201 2 роки тому +1

    You inspired me to do the walk, but I followed the national trust map from Holywell which was a bit confusing to say the least.

  • @TravellingTorunn
    @TravellingTorunn 3 роки тому +1

    Very interesting about St. Piran Oratory! You really do your homework before the walk - as usual 👍 I felt I was almost there when you described the flowers, heather, thyme, bees and butterflies, and with the nature sounds in the background. Amazing! You did the right thing to go paddling to Perranporth. We walked on the beach half the way from the Northern end of the beach, and up on the dunes the rest, and the latter was really strenous 😳 And we also missed the caves at the beach closer to Perranporth. But the views were anazing 🥰 Thank you for a beautiful video 🤩💞

    • @CornishWalkingTrails
      @CornishWalkingTrails  3 роки тому +2

      Indeed the dunes are hard work and on this particular day - very hot!! so the cool sea was a welcome relief! Sarah :)

    We spent many years on holiday at Perran Sands, we walked from the site round the headland to Holywell Bay but never saw this ruin. I am somewhat disappointed in my lack of observational skills that I couldn’t see a dirty great big cross on a hillock. A great video, thanks to you both. We move down to Cornwall this autumn and have a lot of catching up to do on your walks, something we are very much looking forward to doing. Thanks again.

    Hi Sarah and Andrew, very glad you've done a video about St Piran. Really interesting. When I first visited there the oratory and surrounding bunker were buried under a sand dune. I was so glad when they revealed it again a few years ago. Been back to see it a couple of times since and both times it contained water, so presumably that's its normal state! Many thanks.

    • @CornishWalkingTrails
      @CornishWalkingTrails  3 роки тому

      Yes, and if you look carefully, there is a water mark on the concrete wall, at approximately the same height as the old walls! Wish i had noticed it at the time! Sarah :0

    @JoannaLouise200 3 роки тому +1

    That looked such a refreshing walk! ~ with a lovely Summer paddle in the sea on the way back and an ice-cream :) Considering he's the patron saint of Cornwall, I was surprised by the condition of St Piran's Oratory. The concrete bunker is also far too close to the original structure. I'm not sure who the official legal guardians are, but the least they could do would be to repoint the chapel inside and out with lime mortar to stabilize the walls. As you say Sarah, the water pool is not draining because of the surrounding concrete block walls (which probably sit on impermeable foundations). I'll have to get my ideas off to the the Duke of Cornwall's heritage officer!
