Stayed with you until the very end.....a great walk around PZ....thanks for the walk throight St. Anthony's....my grandfather, a stone mason, helped to build the gardens. Wanted to see if construction had started at the top of Causeway Head as my uncle used to be an auctioneer at the livestock yard...all gone now, but good to see the Penzance from afar here in Pennsylvania.
Thanks Jennifer. I wasn't planning on walking through Anthony Gardens but there was a gap in the traffic and the camera seemed to be pointing that way! I used to love playing in the old cattle market at the top of Causewayhead when they had all the pens in there. Think I can even remember there being a market on - seems like a long time ago now though!
@@cornwallguide You are so right. I loved how you walked in areas most would not go. I woke this morning imaging you continuing on your walk up past the tree with the beautiful carving, hospital, cricket pitch...love those tall pine trees, and then a walk around the cemetery. Enjoy your day.

Where the hell have all the people gone? Back in the 60's and 70's this place was vibrant. In 5 more years they'll be changing the name from Penzance to Tombstone!
@@cornwallguide Maybe there's an excuse for it being Sunday but Market Jew St. has become a mere shadow of what it used to be. I lived there from 1955-1986 and never wanted to live anywhere else; sadly it appears to be declining in the number of decent shops and facilities.
Pensans is a lovely town with much of its historic architecture surviving and even some recent modern additions that contribute positively to our community; Ground Floor section of the Exchange Art Gallery on Princess Street - but then I'm biased because I live there. There are a couple of carbuncles spoiling things of course, such as the building with scaffolding around it, appearing at 03:15 here (not much wrong with that eye-sore that a few sticks of dynamite wouldn't rectify!).
Agreed. Penlowarth, as it was originally called is testament to the arrogance of planners in the 60s and 70s. To build something this brutal and towering between the sub-tropical gardens and Georgian streets is just beyond belief. It has just had a make-over so looks a little better, but yes dynamite would have been better!
Thanks Jim. Couple of reasons I didn't make it longer. The first is my camera setup was too heavy - arms were almost falling off after 10 minutes! The other one is there's another half an hour here: ruclips.net/video/thDPCM7HzTc/видео.html (Seafront & harbour) Think there's quite a few bits I'd like to film so there will be more Penzance films to come...
@@cornwallguideI had already seen the earlier one too, very nice. I love the parts of Penzance that perhaps wouldn't be great video material, Bread Street, Belgravia Street, Victoria Square, top of town beyond Taroveor Rd, up Lescudjack etc. So many hidden corners of town.
Thanks. I do sometimes record some commentary, but I find it quite difficult - need more practice. I know if I tried it whilst I was recording I'd forget where I was going!
I was so interested to know more about your coastal town when the news said that it has found a blue and a yellow lobster 🦞 of a measurable size. Source: Environment by Sumedha Tripathi
Penlee house holds a lot of history,, Penzance people are the problem in Penzance,, city council curupt as hell,,moaning old farts.. apart from this Penzance is worth a visit too the train station and get back home asp😅
Agreed. That and it's really hard to do professional sounding narration! Enjoyed your Heamoor cycling video - used to have the Strava KOM up that bit...
@@cornwallguidechapeau! Tough climb that one. I was staying in Madron for the week filming rides for a virtual cycling app. I came to dread that climb back at the end of each ride!
Lovely place, great video! Thank you.
Thank you too! My home town.
Such a good walk, really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting!!
Thanks. My pleasure - really enjoyed making it!
I enjoyed every second of that. Thank you! Liked and subscribed.
Many thanks and cheers for the sub.
Great walk thanks for sharing..
Thanks. Think I covered most of the important bits - but keep remembering places I missed!

Ha ha! Sunday morning - always strangely quiet in Pz. Doesn't often feel like that though. That said Market Jew Street is always seems to be empty...

Nice walk through Penzance. Was hoping for a bit longer walk but it was still enjoyable.
Thanks Jim.

Grew up on Belgravia Street.
@@cornwallguide small world, I bought a flat on Belgravia Street. I'm in Orlando but moving back late this year early next year.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Never followed a walking thing before. Do you ever do a commentary at all. I am sure the history must be fascinating.
Thanks. I do sometimes record some commentary, but I find it quite difficult - need more practice. I know if I tried it whilst I was recording I'd forget where I was going!
Been to the pub at 16.50 The Dock. Nice food. Sure there is a cool shop across the road.
Spent quite a bit of time in the Dock over the years. The shop across the road sounds like the Buccaneer.
@@cornwallguide Only place to get Spingo in Pz.

Hadn't heard about this. Looked it up and yes, happened last April!

All the more atmospheric for the absence of muzak/commentary.
