In this video we start our walk in the village community of Porthallow on the Lizard peninsula, near St Keverne. The village has a vast grey, shingle beach with easily spotted architecture from the past.
A short walk from the village, is the shipwreck site of the Bay of Panama. In March 1891, a deadly blizzard wrecked this ship on its way from Calcutta to Dundee carrying bales of jute. The captain and his wife ware swept overboard and others clung to the rigging, in blizzard conditions, hoping for rescue before they froze to death. Learn of the heroic deeds of Joseph Hendy James to alert the shipping agent in Falmouth.
Did you know that Nare Point was a decoy dock in World War 2? But is there any evidence to show it's heroic past?
The WW2 bunker that controlled the site is situated a short walk away at Lestowder cliffs but will it be too overgrown to gain access?
The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on KZfaq, 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!
Frequently asked questions:
What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII
How do I find the books you use?

We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.

Sorry but we do not release the name of our dog, perhaps you can make up your own name for him.
