BEST Beach Hot Chocolate in Cornwall, our favourite Christmas walk
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 гру 2023
- Perfect Boxing day walk? We share our favourite Christmassy, winter walk with the added bonus of the best hot chocolate in Cornwall.
Join us as we take a look at a heart-warming Christmas tradition, investigate a ghost story and enjoy three fabulous beaches.
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!
Unfortunately we cannot answer comments coming in more than a week after the publishing date of the video.
Frequently asked questions:
Do we do meet ups?
We meet up with our patrons and member on UA-cam Membership every year. If you would like to meet us, please join and you will receive an invite to the event.
The channel is a very time consuming hobby, fitted around our employment and family commitments. Setting aside time for individual meet ups, means that we are not able to film and edit our weekly videos that you love to watch.
If you happen to bump into us while out and about, we will be more than happy to have a quick chat!
Sarah and Andrew
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 dogies' names?
Sorry but we do not release the names of our dogs, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

Happy Christmas to both of you and of course to the dogs aswell. X. Love the new hat and Andrew,s snowman joke 😊
Thank you! I think he should write cracker jokes! Sarah :)
Hot Chocolates duly noted. So often the cause of bitter disappointment...As to the Man in the Hat: Could it have been Andrew out researching a Trail? Merry Christmas!
Lol! Sarah :)
Merry Christmas! Wonderful videos!
❤ from Germany
Merry Christmas! Sarah :)
If your (south) UK road trip does take you into Wales, I'd suggest going to Llantwit Major, where we lived for four years after mistakenly leaving Cornwall! It's on the coast, about 15 miles west of Cardiff and is quite rustic in parts, with nice old lanes, buildings including St Illtyd church (Grade 1 listed), Dovecote and Boverton Place. St Illtud's College saw attacks by Saxons, Danes, Vikings and Normans. There are pleasant walks down to Colhugh Beach, which has the remnants of an Iron Age fort and Jurassic Period fossils ... not forgetting a popular beach cafe! There's a tourist office in town too.
Thank you so much for all of your suggestions! Sarah :)
Good to here you mum is well. We just had some bad news with my wife’s mum she has lewibodies which is a very fast acting dementia disease. But we are enjoying each moment we can as long as we can. Have a great Christmas and new year we will be down again now daughter is at Newquay uni. If you come to new come to Burnley will show you townley and lots of places in the town the cotton mill queen street which has been in many movies and shows. As well as the football team
My teenage stomping ground! Love Poldhu, worked in that cafe 😊. I need me a Poldhu hat! Thanks guys, Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
Such a great spot! Sarah :)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do on here. You really are the most lovely couple & have subscribed to you for many years. So glad that your mum is recovering Sarah. Never ever do I get tired of watching a Sarah & Andrew video & this Xmas walk was right up my street as one of my favourite areas of Cornwall, apart from Tintagel. Just along the coast the other way is the little house on the cliff they used for Dr. Enys' house in Poldark. I think that was the last time I came to Cornwall, over 5-6years ago now as I became unwell then & cannot do the long journey down there anymore. I also have one of Sarah's gorgeous art works on my shelf here with sea glass. So a little bit of Cornwall here & a video every week to remind me how I loved that area. Looking forward to your new adventures in 2024...if you get a chance hop on a ferry over to the IOW...it's like a mini Cornwall in places there & think you would both love it. Merry Xmas & Happy New Year to you both & the lovely doggies x J x
Lovely words and I feel them as well-thank you ! We so love Sarah and Andrew..they are so special and such a balm for us. 🎄🕊️to you..Paul and Bonita Wyke (my husband is from Crowthorne but we live now in Fl..alas!)
@@bonitawyke7259 Oh, that was a nice surprise message to read! Thank you. Have been watching S & A for sooo many years now. Like inviting friends into your house once a week isn't it?! I live in Kent but it's a long old trek from there to Cornwall & as I can't walk much anymore it's a journey too far for me these days. Have a peaceful Christmas & thanks for your nice message. x J x
Hi Judy! Thanks for your message and have a wonderful Christmas! Sarah :)
A Merry Christmas to you both. Suggestions for your road trip. Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole in Somerset. There is also Glastonbury Tor and the city of Wells also in Somerset. Lynton and Lynmouth in Devon is also nice. I watch your videos every week when they come out. My daughter lives in Cornwall and I’m in Somerset.
Some great suggestions, thank you! Sarah :)
You are very lucky. There are lots of fabulous places near where you live.
I love a Roundalay. It goes on and on for ever. Always reminds me of Christmas, no idea why though.
Not even a minute in but I have to say Poldhu Cafe does the BEST hot chocolate I've ever had! Going to enjoy the rest of the video, Hope you have a lovely Christmas & New Year! :)
The best winter’s walk! Sarah :)
Merry Christmas, Sarah and Andrew. Magnificent Cornwall views and hot chocolate! ☕️❤
Thank you and you too! Sarah :)
Thank you both for your interesting walks and history around the magnificent Cornwall. My fathers mothers people came from S Just and I have visited same and travelled around many of the places you take us to.

Wow! What a trip! Hope you enjoyed our magnificent County! Sarah :)

Sarah and Andrew..Thankyou so much forALL THE VIDeos. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Cornish Xmas.
Joy Thompson…still searching e bay for those old books.they are a joy
Xxxx
We definitely love our old books! Sarah :)
Great vlog guys , please come to Glastonbury Abbey, Glastonbury Tor you will love it , so much history and myths
Oooooo! We will pop it on the list! Thank you, Sarah :)
Merry Christmas both, love your content. love Poldhu, we visit there when we come down to the lizard 👍
Beautiful place! Sarah :)
The cafe at Poldhu sells my friend's novels. She writes lovely books.
A blast from the past! Your church cove ghost video was the one that got me interested in your channel. Suggestions for you road trip- Bath (Circular walks are available on line ),The lower Cotswolds, and with your love of Poldark, check out the filming locations in Wiltshire (some in Bristol also). Good to hear Mums on the mend, nice to see the doggies again (scene stealers) Thanks for all you've filmed this year, loved them all. Nadelik Lowen! to you all.🎄
You’re welcome and thanks for the suggestions, Sarah and Andrew :)
I spent many a childhood summer holiday on dollar cove beach when we used to park and picnic on the green in front of the gateway to the cove. The only mass grave I remember was on the cliff path to mullion . Happy Xmas and new year from a lifelong fellow cornishman
We know of the one for the Anson near Loe Bar, Sarah :)
Oh my goodness, as soon as i saw the guy in the graveyard i recognised him as 'Hat man' he's identical to the figure i saw at the foot as my bed as a child, it absolutely petrified me at the time and all these years later i watched a video on youtube that mentioned the shadowy figure is a demon, i dont believe in ghosts myself so it made total sense to me. Horrible experience that thankfully has never been repeated in the 40+ years since.
We visited Wniwalloe church in 2022 and I looked around to get a view of the Hatman, having watched your previous video about it. But I didn't se him. Thank you for this festive and lovely video. These hot chocolates looked tasty 😄I haven't been to very many places in the South of England outside of Cornwall. But I spent a couple of days in Farnham this January, attending to a friend's 80 years birthday. Farnham looks really beautiful and there is a number of self guided walks available to download online. One is called The Tree Walk, and there is also a sculpture park. I was sadly not able to do any long walking myself due to a twisted ankle, but I took a small stroll in the streets which I really enjoyed.I stayed at the Bush Hotel which was really good. Thank you for all your great videos and all your effort. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and a really good road trip! Torunn 🥰
Hi Torunn, that is a great suggestion will go on the list, thank you! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails How lovely! I wish you a great and enjoyable planning and trip ❤🚗☺
A very Merry Christmas to you both! Another great video as always! Down with you this Christmas and New year, with our touring caravan, staying at Cury Cross Lanes! Much love, Guy & Olha. X
We found Gunwalloe after it appeared on Doc Martin, Aunty Joan’s funeral. It’s a lovely church with a fantastic view. Only been once as the road down from Culldroze is really narrow, I get stressed out with some of those Cornish lanes. Merry Christmas to you both & the dogs.
Yes, some of our lanes are narrow! Merry Christmas! Sarah :)
Very much enjoy your videos, hope you both have a lovely Christmas and New Year.
Thank you! Sarah and Andrew :)
I recommend Beddgelert in Northern Wales for its stunning beauty and its legend of the famous noble hound who died tragically. You are dog lovers and may already know the story of the prince's faithful canine companion. I sat under a tree where he was buried.
Ooooo! Sounds interesting! Thank you, Sarah :)
Have a great Christmas!
When you go on your grand tour, please come and visit East Devon (via Dartmoor on the B3212 of course!). Sidmouth, a regency seaside town with lots of castellated hotels and buildings is a lovely place to stay, especially the Sidmouth Harbour Hotel. There’s lots of sea glass on the beach, and the sandstone cliffs give the sea and the sand a reddish pink tinge. The sandstone cliffs along the beach towards Jacob’s Ladder beach have the imprints of plant roots showing from when the sandstone was a prehistoric desert, and you can continue the walk up onto the SW Coast Path for the most amazing views at Peak Hill (free car park up on the road there), and continue on to High Peak to the site of an old Iron Age hillfort, and then onto Ladram Bay with its sea stacks. Nearby is Otterton Mill, an old working flour mill with restaurant and lovely gift shop, which has amazing cream teas by the River Otter, where you can see beavers, kingfishers, and yes…otters!
WOW! Sounds perfect, thank you! Sarah :)
Have a very merry Christmas ❤️🎄❤️
...and THANK YOU for all your joy, informations and pictures of Cornwall.
You’re welcome! Sarah :)
Nadelik Lowen - Sarah and Andrew- Oll an gwella from PZ. A christmas ghost story OOoooooOOOoooooOOOOoooo
Lol! Sarah :)
Happy Christmas! We were just saying that your son needs a cameo appearance on the vlogs again 😅 How about coming to the New Forest on your road trip, maybe Bucklers Hard…you can hire a cottage there opposite the pub for a weekend. We’re down in Cornwall straight after Christmas and for New Year staying in our static caravan and can’t wait!! 🎄
Have a great trip! Sarah :)
Thanks for all the amazing videos this year we always look forward to seeing them..
Ashdown forest in Sussex is worth a visit Pooh bridge and the Winnie the Pooh cafe at hartfield... Lovely ❤
How cute! Thank you, Sarah :)
You cant beat a chocolate roan cocker ,they are the best followed by orange roan . Of course all cockers are lovely

Thank you so much Andrew and Sarah for your wonderful videos all year. They’ve helped me through some tough times and made me laugh at your dogs’ antics and Andrew’s jokes. I’m glad your Mum is well again. Have a very Happy Christmas with your family.

I love Poldhu and the cafe. Thanks for the video.
Merry Christmas Sarah and Andrew. Thank you for the update on your Mum, so glad hear she is doing well. That hot chocolate looked amazing. Enjoyed this video as we always do.

Happy Christmas to the both of you,thanks for all the blogs you do.from Anita & Peter with the whippets (we meet in St Ives )
Hello and thank you. Happy Christmas to you too! Sarah :)
Wonderful work ,only just got around to watching this 🫣we love poldhu cove and watching the video’s with your two lovely dogs and have been inspired to get a cocker pup of our own ,she like your youngest is very cuddly but very naughty,but we are both looking forward to taking her to Cornwall in June and doing some of your walks ,as for 2024 I can recommend Somerset as we visited in the autumn and loads of interesting places to visit ,I am from Bristol originally so spent a lot of time there as a child ,I now live in Warwickshire,hope you had a lovely Christmas
I love your channel , I love coming to Cornwall for 4 decades now, been to amny places but still you show us some more . we usually stay at a Caravan parlor in Bude . last time we went to see the composite signals and found that cute little place near Morwenstowe, its the Rectory Farm tea house , worth a visit .
Nadelik lowen ha bledhen nowydh da.
Happy Christmas to you both. Thank you again for your videos and for my lovely painting of St Michael's Mount.
That cafe at Poldhu is amazing always visit it when I'm in Cornwall. I order a new bobble hat from them every year for the mrs she has quite a collection now. Love the idea of a road trip on the south coast and if you venture out to the Kent coast there are some very interesting walks and places to visit. Maybe the Romney Marsh and Dymchurch with its tales of Dr Syn and pirates. A lovely walk along the white cliffs of Dover visiting Samphire hoe and caple le ferne. A lovely cafe on top of the cliff at caple looking out over the channel towards France which you can see on a clear day. Also the battle of Britain memorial is in caple aswell well worth a visit and if your lucky in the summer spitfires regularly fly over the site for visitors to see.
Merry Christmas guys have a good one 👍
Thanks for your suggestions! and Happy Christmas, Sarah and Andrew
Lovely! Thank you xxx
Fantastic 🎉
Have a very happy Christmas
Great video, my neck of the woods. Nadelik Lowen to you both 🎄☃️🎄
Merry Christmas xxx
Another lovely vid guys, we loved the ghost story and what could have been going on behind the curtain in the church. Lovely to see your boys enjoying themselves on the beach too. We have a Cocker Spaniel too who loves the beach and also digs holes like your youngest boy. The Poldhu hot chocolate`s look gorgeous and with a Christmas pressie as well. We so enjoy your vids which we look forwards to each week, you are a taste of Cornwall when we cannot get down there ourselves we wish you and your family a joyful Christmas and a happy new year we look forward to seeing you again soon,,,,,,Brian&Jane
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 . Another lovely video. thank you so much.
Merry christmas x❤
The UK road trip sounds great!
HI Sarah & Andrew. Another year upon us, hope all is well. In regards to your south coast tour, we thought you may like to try Lyme Regis, a favorite of ours when not in cornwall.
Montol Lowen and Happy Christmas! So glad to hear that your mum is doing well!

Merry Christmas!
Hope you both had a fab Christmas day , your furry babies are gorgeous x
Just up the road from me, great! 💜. Merry Christmas everyone
When we lived in Cornwall, our friends owned a wholefood shop. Unfortunately they had to give it up and a well known chain of 'healthfood' shops took it on and in their wisdom, refused to sell saffron! Many elderly Katie's refused to enter the shop after that! They should have done their homework as they must have lost £s by not doing their homework on local sales! Thank you for a lovely video, thank you for all your hard work, filming, editing and finding interesting stories for us all. Cornwall, we miss you!❤❤ Merry Christmas to you both😊
Happy Christmas! Sarah :)
🎄🎉happy Christmas to you both,and thanks for everything you have done.😊
Thank you and to you too! Sarah :)

Thank and have a great Christmas! Sarah :)
Lovely presentation of intrigue, mystery & things going through the walls. Thank you.
I'm my band days, Friday night was music night, but now it's Cornwall night. Best wishes regards your new year plans.
The media that you use is superior to tele' because it's interactive, as we are corresponding with you. So when your productions are such high quality, I don't just mean picture quality, the documentary from you that comes with it, just brings it alive video after video. So when you make a comment about the recovery of your family member, we all there with you.
Thank you for the delight that you have brought to my household in just a few months.
God bless.
Thank you! Sarah :)
Although I now live in Hampshire I have made saffron cake for the last 58 years. I now make buns and put them in the freezer so we can enjoy over a longer period. Thanks for all the great vlogs. Happy Christmas to you both and hope your Mum is now in better health.
Happy Christmas! Sarah :)
Thank you guys fir all your videos i will have to keep an eye out for you guys when down in Padstow as we walk a lot of the coast in Cornwall you never know could be sharing a trail?
Padstow chuff is ok for pasties but we tend do go to the cherry trees out the front in the harbour good olde traditional..
Love your dogs by the way and my wife would love that hat too.
Suits you lovely Andrew spoilt you 😘...
The hat man ive not caught him on camera yet i must have taken at least a million pictures in Cornwall over the years and youd think hed make an appearance eh. I tend to go into caves pot holes and buildings falling down taking pictures deep inside and churches too one in little petherick around the back on the hill is a spooky little cemetry to visit.
Lovely walk back to Padstow along the spooky creek too.
Have a lovely christmas and see you in the new year
Kev the brinklow kayaker😊
Merry Christmas and greetings from my Anglo/American family inNorthern California. We have happy memories of those beaches but would love to try the hot chocolate someday. Thanks for another year of wonderful walks!
You’re welcome! Sarah :)
Merry Christmas! I enjoyed seeing the weather, the ghost story, the scenery, the adorable doggies, yummy hot chocolate & old recipes & tales. Enjoy & savour your Christmas & break. We have plenty to re-watch during that, - well stocked. You do such a wonderful job & looking fwd to your next expansive adventures. ❤
Merry Christmas, Sarah :)
Happy Christmas to both of you. Thanks for all your efforts with the videos. Can I suggest a couple of places for your South of England tour. Rye and Petworth, both historical towns in Sussex. Also Arundel with its castle. 🎄🎄🎅🎅
Thank you! Happy Christmas to you too! Sarah :)
Thank you both for the great and interesting videos you put. Much better than watching some of the dreary rubbish put out on Tv Channels. Happy Christmas to you both and of course the Dogs
A very merry Christmas to both of you, i was at the cafe last august , unfortunately it was wasp season and everybody was chased about by the little beggars . it was worth it through i love it around the lizard , ive been going for the last 35 years . keep the vids coming guys , they are really enjoyable
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too! Sarah :)
