  • Follow us as we take an evening stroll around Fowey, guided by the local Tourist Guide booklet. We hunt for the oldest building in Fowey, discovery some beautiful river views and explore the church. Our stroll takes us all the way to Caffa Mill and the Bodinnick Ferry which lands next to 'Ferryside', a house owned by Daphne Du Maurier's family.

    Fowey & Fowey estuary area looks a must visit , been to St Mawgan / Mawgan Porth. I am torn between Cornwall & on the other coast , Norfolk. Very clear for estuary water ...unlike the River Great Ouse and the whole Wash !!!

      I will have to look out for these. I have the Sue Kittow Poldark book although I am not so fond of using it for the videos - too wordy! The instructions are buried in too much text for filming with. I feel it would make the ideal Christmas present for quick read through some walk essays. I will look out for the others though!

    Loved seeing Fowey again. Can not believe more than a week has elapsed since we were there. The walk was really interesting and loved the historical information, and we thought Andrew was going to do an Indiana Jones when inspecting the gravestones - he was in fine form and had us in stitches! Brilliantly well edited as always. Thank you for taking us back to Fowey - really enjoyed it.

    I love the sound of church bells, so traditional and so British. The Ship Inn looked great and I would have struggled to walk passed it lol! Fantastic church mind, a real find that, looked great and the stained glass windows were superb. Winter is Chocolately lol, I wish it was and funny enough Mrs Metalman is a big Bryan Ferry fan. Nice walk out and a great watch, cheers Alan

    Hi Sarah and Andrew, hope you had a great weekend! The Celtic knot work engraved on the stone cross was absolutely gorgeous ,what a quaint little town . I am glad to hear that Andrew thought Fowey was full of great “knockers” lol ,he never fails to amuse😂 The kids and I attended the Renaissance Faire over the weekend ,it’s become a little tradition for us, and while waiting on one of my girls to get her henna hand art done , a man sitting next to me was waiting on his daughter as well ,and it turned out he was originally from England and his grandparents are from Cornwall and own a stud farm there ,I forget exactly where but how ironic ,so that was really neat . Oh,and tell Andrew ,they were selling pumpkin pasties at the bakery stand where I got an English meat pie,I was so full ,I couldn’t even go back and get that pumpkin pasty,next time 😁Lots of happiness,Lori

    • @CornishWalkingTrails
      @CornishWalkingTrails  Před 5 lety

      Pumpkin pasty! That sounds amazing, I think I must try and make one. The Renaissance Faire sounds like a place I would love to visit - did you mention our channel to the chap, maybe not the right moment!! Sarah :)

    • @loristeiner5493
      @loristeiner5493 Před 5 lety

      You and Andrew would have a great time at the Renaissance Faire!! It is in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania which is about an hour and 30 minutes from our home .I should have mentioned your channel and as always I was just talking up a storm and it blew completely past me ,lol .He said he attends every year as well ,it is quite addicting,such a good time, a very lighthearted atmosphere. I imagine you could use the same filling in the pumpkin pasty as you would use for a pumpkin pie, If you would need a recipe for pumpkin pie filling ,I would suggest following the Libby’s pumpkin pie recipe if you don’t already have one. Also, here is my email address so I don’t have to write you novels on CZcams,lol . ljs26 @comcast.net . I am not sure how it works internationally but you can try have a great Tuesday,Lori

      Hi David and Myriam, We are about 200 miles from London, but the time of the journey will vary according to the time of year - out of peak season is best when it will take about 5 hours (it took us 9 hours in peak season!). If I were you, I would be here around May/June, that's when we have our longest days, greatest chance of warm weather and the school holidays have not started, so the roads are a lot easier and you will be able to get where you want to go!
