Yes, it made our walk around the town this week, so much more interesting. It is so easy to rush past these landmarks without knowing anything about them.
We end up in Wadebridge last September after trying to visit Padstow but not being able to get a parking space, It was a really rainy day and I was a bit grumpy as it was lunch time. We didn't know the town at all and had no idea where to get some nice lunch but stumbled across a place called Mad Hatters! I can highly recommend it, the owner was charming and very passionate about his business and very proud of his homemade food and rightly so it was delicious. When I visit Cornwall again in July (fingers crossed) I shall do this walk with with a combined visit to Mad Hatters. Sounds like a perfect day.
Thank you for the reminder on Facebook. It was very nice to watch this video again. And now I noticed the remark about Anneka's Bridge. Anneka Rice must be a lovely person. She also helped building a new quay on the island Bryher, one of the inhabited islands in the Isles of Scilly. I have myself taken a boat from there. It is - not surprisingly - called Anneka's Quay :-)
Wadebridge is obviously much larger than I knew. Lovely area. Inger and I bicycled from Padstow to Bodmin Jail and back in 2018. We stopped for a little stroll in Wadebridge and we liked it a lot. But now you have shown much more. Thank you 😊 There was a sign on a wall saying "British by birth, Cornish by the grace of God" 👍😊
Beautiful Wadebridge,, I agree with you this is a thriving town that has not lost any of its charm. When you think the old bridge was built over 600years ago and then would have only been used for a horse and cart and we are still using it today. I love the fact that the town is full of independent shops and a brilliant Antique shop which was use in a programme of Drew Pritchard (Freeview 12 quest). I also agree when you said in your conclusion “what is there not to like?”. Visit Wadebridge when you are next in Cornwall & you won’t be disappointed I am sure. Well done, most enjoyable and well worth a watch.
Thank you for letting me tag along on your walk around Wadebridge , I have say their overnight when going to Mousehole for a week absolutely loved it. Love Cornwall unfortunately won’t visit this year due to COVID-19 but have booked for next year.
Borrowed a tablet to hear this one!! So much nicer with sound!! The thing about Anneka is that she doesn't look any different really from when she was set her challenge! Eternal youth. As someone else has mentioned below, John B is buried at St. Enodoc's...the one with the wobby spire. So lovely there. Have been to Wadebridge quite a lot in the past when staying at St. Minver....but this showed parts I have not ventured into...so interesting to see the old railway station. Lovely. J x
Wow! Definitely a 10. I just found out my sisters step son has been to Cornwall! I saw a pic of him at low tide going to St Micheals Mount. I’m so jealous. I really like the look Wadebridge.
Have driven over the new road bridge a lot and always look up river to the town, but have never visited there. Sir John Betjeman is layed to rest at nearby St Enodoc Church. Thats a nice walk around there too.
We came across his grave stone when we explored Daymer Bay to Rock, passing through the golf course and the Church. Lovely old church with a wonky tower! Sarah :)
Lovely informative historic walk, but I wish they could divert some of the heavy haulage traffic away from the town centre and, please local Council, only grant planning consent on developments in traditional local stone and complementary vernacular styles (that's my grumble over!) x
I empathise! When I see developers knocking down a perfectly usable house from the 20th century and replace it with 2, usually 'Grand Designs' style properties, I feel a tinge of sadness - we're losing the ability to read the historical development of some of our villages in Cornwall! Sarah :)
What l love about your walks is the fact you can see beauty in the things most of us rush past without appreciating our surroundings Thank you
A symptom of modern life! It takes us a while to film everything because we see so much! Sarah :)

Very cute little walk. Can’t wait to give it a go. Great video
Hope you enjoy it! It is a lovely little walk! Sarah :)

We saw the same sign, in one of the cycle hire shops I think! Good sign!! Sarah :)
Fascinating walk! A nice variety of scenery of a town in Cornwall. Loved everything about it and Andrew got to eat his pasties!!🌠❤️
A lovely little town to wander around and great pasties too! Sarah :)
I love how the town's on your walks are so quaint n cozy looking.

Ahhh! You have sound at last! Must be easier to watch with sound! Sarah :)
Some real old history in that cemetery old side
Beautiful historic wadebridge .....Been many years !! Love the river running under the bridge
HI Steve, Great town, lots going on! Sarah :)
Wow! Definitely a 10. I just found out my sisters step son has been to Cornwall! I saw a pic of him at low tide going to St Micheals Mount. I’m so jealous. I really like the look Wadebridge.
You could have squeezed into his luggage! No-one would ever know!!! Sarah :)
I like when you go into these cute little communities that I indeed would never see. This is such a feel good video :)
Hi Carola! Thanks for your lovely comment, Sarah :)
My old playing field spent years down there and fishing in the river there
Чудесный городок Уэйдбридж. Уютный и чистенький с живописной речкой. И мост через реку просто великолепен. А пирожок, наверное, был очень вкусный!
Good dialogue and tour, thank you
Lovely video !! We love when you give us some history fact. Ciao
Cheers! Sarah :)
Nice walk! Sarah, I love reading old headstones too. Wadebridge is mentioned dozens of times in Doc Martin - cool to see what it's actually like:)
It is mentioned in Doc Martin! Not sure if they ever show it though !?! Sarah :)
I grew up in Egloshayle village and the pub was my local

Awesome walking video
I went to that cinema on a rainy day in the seventies with my parents, the film was Chariots of the Gods a docuflick of Erik von Daniekens book.

Haulage traffic must be delivering in town centre, not much can be done about that.
The church is magnificent
Where can i buy this book from x stumbled across your channel thank you......
We picked up our copy in a charity shop so I reckon, with a bit of digging, you may find a copy! Sarah :)
Best shop pasties going.
Watched the bridge being built and the high one in the distance
Sounds like we took you on a real trip down memory lane! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails yes very much so
Tut,Tut every pasty but a traditional Cornish one !
Try Chacewater bakery for pasties, they are lovely
I live in Wadebridge, Cornwall!
And do you like the bouncy bridge?!? Sarah :)
Cozy as always
