Think you know Cornwall? In this video we will take you on a trip around the county concentrating on the curious, the oddities and the fascinating bits not normally found by visitors. This is a compilation of some of the things we have discovered and found interesting, curious or down right odd whilst filming our walks in Cornwall on YouTube, we hope you will too.
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, 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 regularly receive requests to meet up from viewers and subscribers, but unfortunately we do not have availability to be able to do this.
The channel is a very time consuming hobby, fitted around our employment and family commitments. Setting aside time for 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 dog’s name?
Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.

Great video! I was going to ask What makes Cape Cornwall a cape? Google to the rescue …
The term cape is the point of land where two bodies of water meet. Cape Cornwall is one of only two capes in the United Kingdom.
You learn something new every day! Thanks guys.
I am still waiting to find out what the joke was about "CSI Mevagissey"🤔
Hi Sarah and Andrew when my father was a young boy[your grandfather Andrew] when walking over the hills to the mine each morning a man walking in front of him was silhouetted against the skyline. He always thought the man looked like a bottle of sauce -brown H.P. The story is in the book I wrote called 'The Turn of the Wheel' which relates the life of your grandfather when he was young. Great video as usual.
Cape Cornwall is great….
Brilliant.
Farmer let uou on his land and. NO COWS. Fab.. 😮
Great video, I'm still laughing at the bucket castle, not to mention General De Gaulle in the bath, brilliant 😅👍
Hi both, back in the 80's I swam through Merlins Cave with my Golden Retriever, His name was Bimbo (after the Jim Reeves song) back & forth for about 40 mins, I just followed him. It was the summer & the sea was very calm. A fab memory for me. I've been back to Tintagel many times. (we used to call it 'Tint & Gel' after the hair product that was sold for the 'New Romantic Pop trend :)'
Beautiful and interesting, just love Cornwall. 💝
Andrew, I reckon the Green door is female , why you may ask, she has a pair of knockers. Ha, ha.
A fun re-visit of some interesting places. Nice the Heinz company saved that lovely bit of coast from modern builders, though when it comes to ketchup, I prefer the 'upside down' squeeze bottle, lol. That church was so mysterious! I love old graveyards, and it was great to compare the site with you prior photos. We have ivy that looks like that…not sure how old it is, but our house has been here for 93 years. The Merry Maidens are great! I remember about the two Piper stones and AEthelstan, King of the Saxons. The older the history, the more it gives me chills! Always enjoy your adventures! Cheers from California!
Lovely to go down memory lane with you – I reckon you could write a book on the Curiosities of Cornwall – Brilliant editing Sarah – we enjoyed it.
great mix! I visited the Merry Maidens on an extremely foggy day. The photos I took turned out so atmospheric.
Which Village ?. Plague of Zombies spread through a Cornish Village. Hammer Horror Film. Cheers from old George
Sarah, could you get any more hats and hoods on? 🤣😂🤣
It was fantastic to ketchup (🙂) with all your peregrinations searching out the wonderful curiosities and oddities along the highways & byways of Cornwall. Particularly enjoyed the atmospheric St Cohan church (hope it gets rescued), King St Doniert's stones and their beautiful setting, and the quirky Roger's Tower castle folly & its views. This is exactly why I love Cornwall ~ thank you! 🙂
Amazing video one of your best, such fascinating stories. I watch every episode and always, eagerly await the next. 😁😁👍👍✔✔
Love history.
Oooh…ENJOYED it so much.
( Loved your dignified way of going around and speaking about the old church and graveyard !)
I believe there is a Doniert stone over near Castle An Dinas near St Columb in mid Cornwall.
Nice memories of your videos. I had just thrown out a Heinz tomato ketchup bottle when I sat down to watch this! 😄Something I didn't know about Cape Cornwall! And the lovely old ruined church. So sad it is in decline and you can no longer get access to it. Hope you went and had a hot chocolate after the visit to the Cape….gosh it looked cold❄. The rocks behind the Cape are a feature in the Poldark advertising pictures with Ross looking out to sea! Lovely video you guys x J x
LOVE this curiosities format! What a great video – thank you! Jo x
Once considered to be the most westerly point, not Lands End.
Love the folly and the old church there,s something cute with old buildings
Have you been to Carn Braie above Camborne .?
Very nice! And while we are on the subject of street names I have pictures of me standing under a few in St Ives, taken in 1980. 2 of them are 'Court Cocking' and 'Virgin Street' … Any idea of their origins ? When looking at the carved face by Merlin's Cave, there is another to it's right 2 inches behind it. : ) Bob
