    Pt 9. We love finding those epic landscapes that give us an excuse to get our cameras out. Also, there are definitely times that we want to just be tourists and enjoy the ambience of a place; we're so glad we stopped here.

    Fantastic to see Wheal Coates and Chapel Porth like this. I walked along the coastal path there in 2018 in fog and high tide. Quite intriguing and interesting and a bit moody. But this is real beauty 🥰 St. Ives is always a treat in any season 🥰

      Hi there. Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave the comment. Yes, Wheal Coates was a great place and the surrounding landscapes are beautiful. Wow, fog and a high tide would have been great to photograph, not too sure about walking in it though🤔, Claire would be the first to admit that she can be a little clumsy🤣😂.
      Yes, we were so pleased that we visited St Ives, it had such a great vibe and has retained much of its charm.
      Many thanks again and all the very best, take care. 👍💙❤️🚐

      @@adventurevanfreddie thank you for your kind answer. I must say that we if course didn't walk into the high tide 🤣 But the sandy beah below the cliffs were submerged and I actually didn't know there was a beach until long time after when I saw other pictures from the area. But the weather was a bit foggy / misty and it actually gave a sort of a historic and authentic feel 😊 And the path was perfectly visible. I have been to St. Ives several times and also this January. It was almost empty and the winter light was great. I loved it. The only downside was that it got dark at around 5 PM so the days were a bit short for exploring.

    This is another great video guy's, this makes me so proud to be Cornish, so much to see and do here, one of my favourite places to work in the fields was Tregirls beach at Padstow, every day the weather was slightly different and the camal estuary looked slightly different, just absolutely magical, love Cornwall so much and pray it stays the way it is, it's changed too much already but that's another story, can't wait to finish my traffic conversion to get out and about

    Hey guys really enjoying the Cornwall series 👍🏻 Been a couple of times on photography trips and enjoyed a wonderful sunset at Bedruthan Steps. I parked at Chapel Porth and walked up to Wheal Coates from the other side but from memory getting the van down there may be tricky !! But it did mean I could bathe in the sea and the beach below the mines was beautiful. I’ll await the next episode and guessing you’re off to Lands End next but Botallack tin mines (just below where you stayed at Pendeen) are a must for the camera ( I’ll see next week if you stopped off there) long time no comment but been watching all your travels and our Adria van is due June / July so getting close now !!
