  • Join us as we walk from Newquay Train Station, through the historic harbour to Towan Head, on to Fistral Beach and East Pentire, returning through the town to the station.
    We discover a house on an island, surfing and lunch at Fistral.

    The old hotel sign with it's "Strictly moderate charges" gave me giggles. It also warmed my heart to see the pups frolicking together again. Someday I'm gonna make it there, and have me some yummy fish & chips, and later an authentic Cornish pasty! I'm also going to have to research the history of the house perched atop that wee island. Fascinating & lovely place!

    Yet again a superb film, although busy in the summer months, this shows Newquay at its best. You can literally point a camera anywhere in Cornwall and the scenery is spectacular but you both certainly know how to make your films interesting as well as informative.

    I love your guy’s videos. I especially love when one of you has the dogs and they’re perfectly synchronized so their little tails and bums are wagging in unison, so cute! I also love the jokes and laughter. You guys definitely are a good example to couples nowadays on how to stay together and how to get along. A very rare thing in this selfish & greedy world. My hats off to you both.

      That is a lovely comment - thank you! We call the doggies walking in unison 'Doggy cam', "Have we filmed any doggy cam?' We usually get a shot of them in somewhere in the video! Sarah :)

    Remember, your never lost. Only temporarily disorientated. That house on top of the rock with its own bridge looked pretty awesome. Two days for four miles......Hmmmmm. Surfs up bra. Come on Andrew, show us how you hang ten. Again, no ice cream shop, bummer dude. Nice video, I could see way this would be a busy place in the summer. I looks like a real fun place to spend those summer days.👍👍👍👍👍

    Wow! Spectacular scenery again guys. Newquay has views of the surf no matter where you look and the contrast was really good over the 2 days, it proves that we do get more than 1 Season in a short space of time. I like you avoid Newquay because of the crowds but taken out of Season it really is beautiful no matter where you look. Lovely filming again and I enjoyed it. Well done

    Lovely to see the great views. Didn't visit Newquay this time on our trip to Cornwall but looks like a nice walk so will have to go there next time. We visited lots of places shown on your videos and had such a great time, so thanks for all the wonderful information, really hard to fit everything in as so many nice places to visit and walks to do, don't think you could ever run out of things to do. Many thanks Bets

Have you been inside the Hotel? I will have to look that one up on CZcams , curiosity has gotten the best of me right now!! The fish and chips looked delish as well . Have a great weekend ,Lori

      Hi Cebus! On the second day we went down on to Towan beach, by the house on the island, and walked from there, all the way across to the harbour to return to our car. I had never done that before - not being a regular visitor to Newquay, surrounded by great views and the rumble of the sea!! Sarah :)

The grilled haddock looked delicious. That house on the island is really cool. Always amazes me how popular surfing is in Cornwall, with all those lovely beaches it makes sense.

    John noticed a couple of continuity errors! It must be difficult getting your online groceries delivered to the house on the island; I would not fancy crossing that bridge during a storm. Another different, but enjoyable walk, thank you Sarah and Andrew, and undoubtedly more enjoyable at this time of year than summer. Your young lad (not Andrew!) can not resist having a dig in a sandy beach - they are such characters.

      Hi Jill, It depends on the destination and time of year! A couple of hours maybe.
