A tranquil walk from Portreath to Illogan, Cornwall

- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Join us as we explore Portreath and Illogan. Starting from the village of Portreath, a former mining port where coal was brought from Wales and tin and copper ore was exported for smelting. The village is the beginning of the Coast to Coast cycle Trail to Devoran, a former railway line through some of the most historic areas of Cornish Mining Heritage.
The walk winds through Illogan woods, tranquil and unspoilt before reaching Illogan. The church is most interesting and after a little explore we cross open farmland to Bridge, picking up the tramroad back to Portreath.

We moved to Illogan in November 2021 and were pleased to follow your guide to Portreath Beach. Thank you.
Thank you! Sarah :)
I like Andrews humor.
I can always rely on your videos to lift the mood!
Glad you like them! Thank you! Sarah :)
Poker, Poker, Black Jack, Black Jack, or a real bridge is what your talking about. LOL. Andrew was on a roll that day with all the witty comebacks. Another really nice walk and information.
Hi Lance! We had a great walk and yes, some days he just clicks into mode! Sarah :)
Was born in Portreath, but grew up in St Agnes. There is a cave on Portreath beach with contains a pool scoupped out of a shelf, which is known as Lady Bassett's bath. My grandparents are buried in Illogan churchyard
Ooooo! Is the cave on left as you look out to sea? Near to Smugglers Cottage, by any chance? Sarah :)
It's certainly on the left as you look out to sea bit haven't been to Portreath in over 50 years so can't remember buildings
Had our first Cornish holiday, 45 years ago, in Portreath. Stayed in a bungalow half way up Lighthouse hill. Always like to visit Portreath when we are in Cornwall but sadly not this year as our holiday has been cancelled. Stay safe.
Lighthouse Hill is quite different these days, not sure if you have returned. Some of the old bungalows have gone, even the old victorian mansion, to be replaced with the modern glass boxes. I think I have mixed feelings about it really. Whilst they are lovely, there is something of a uniformity about it, loss of character maybe! Tourists love renting them though! Sarah :)
Lovely! We're on holiday in porthreat and this video is very useful.
Great walk! Very nice! Looks like doggie had a good time too! xx
Danny & Mark
Yes, thanks, always up for a day out with "Mum and Dad'! Sarah :)
Happy to see another walk! It's been a long 2 months! Noticed so many singing birds! Looked like a great day out! Thanks!!
It felt like they were louder than usual, I particularly noticed them when I was editing. Mind you, it's a very quiet woodland, not many people so perhaps they are very happy birds! Sarah :)
Lovely walk, thanks very much. I love the Portreath, Illogan, Tehidy area, and it's away from the usual tourist spots. At one point they were talking about opening up the incline as part of the tramway trails around there which would be fantastic, but I don't know if that will ever go ahead.
That interesting! They probably ran out of funding as there is no hint of that now. There are probably properties in the way of that now! Sarah :)
Such a lovely walk 😊 It was really nice to meet you two on our way from St. Agnes to Portreath in 2018 (and we loved our stay at Cliff House). Videos like this give me a broader knowledge of the places I've been. Walking the South West Coast Path in a few days at the time dosn't give much extra opportunity to explore the places we stay. So this is really splendid. Thank you 👍😁❤
Our pleasure! It was lovely to meet you too! I will never forget the expression on your face! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails 👍😁 I was a bit starstruck 😉
Another lovely walk Sarah and Andrew - definitely lifted the spirits. It is great to see, that now you have so many walks, they are starting to join up which is expanding our geographic knowledge of Cornwall!!
Glad you enjoyed it And so true! We aim to cover the gaps, year by year! Sarah :)
Loved it. Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it! Sarah :)
Thanks so much Sarah and Andrew (& doggy!). Being stuck in static 'locked-down London' I've so missed my revitalizing Spring break in Cornwall this year. Your trails are fascinating and I love the informative walks and humour - the perfect antidote to lift the mood!🧡
Our pleasure! Sarah :)
Always nice to see Portreath and the walk through Tehidy Woods was so pretty. The History on the Church was interesting and it was nice to see you both back on our screen. Now watching Bedruthan Steps from 3 years ago, really beautiful.
Miss Bedruthan! I think I just miss the freedom to roam at will! Sarah :)
So great to see you guys back out and about again!. Love the videos.❤ Can't wait come to Cornwall again in the future and walk with our 7 year old spaniel.
Another spaniel owner! Hi to your spaniel! Sarah :)
We would've been traveling down to Cornwall today. Nevermind. Next year🙂 . Love your dog 🙂
Ahh! so sad! but like you say - next year! Make it two weeks to make up for it!! Sarah :)
I love the close ups of the flowers. It's fun to see the local signs too.
Aubretia - love these little flowers. Like pocket rockets - give a stunning display and then its over! Sarah :)
Очень рада, что вы опять возобновили свои прогулки, А у нас пока соблюдается режим самоизоляции. Так хоть с вами погулять по лесам и полям Корнуола
So happy to see you are both well ❣
A very nice walk with interesting details on history - loved it.
And I am very glad you took it from "walks for all ages" = good for me 😄.
The nature looks so lovely....
Andrew always as it's best 🤗
Thank you and take good care.
💟💟💟
Us too - great book! Sarah :)
Nice video of your walk. The history of Illogan Church and Churchtown is interesting. Beautiful day but very windy!
Yeh, we do get some breezy days! Sarah :)
My daughter lives near Illogan.
Great to see you guys back, looking forward to more, our Cornish holiday has gone back from June to July, and now it's September, we shall see.
I hope you are able to pop down - fingers crossed! Sarah :)

Brilliant! He will be pleased! Sarah :)

Thanks, you too! Sarah :)
thanks both of you for all your hard work in bringing us something new every week , hope your both keeping well down there , stay safe ..lee
Our pleasure! Back to work now! We were hoping that we would have a week of freedom before returning but alas - no! Sarah :)
Aww, Demelza's territory! Nice to see where she hailed from! And to hear all the Poldark names for real...Tehidy, the Bassetts etc. Catching up again with Poldark at mo...watching the series over again with the family & reading the books. Such lovely stories, brought to life in a lot of your vids! I see Andrew was on form that day with the jokes!! Also caught up with the sound of your last vid on your artwork of St. Michael's Mount Sarah....had to watch it in silent mode last time! You have a very artistic streak...the painting & stitching were wonderful. Fingers crossed for October when we can see it for ourselves again.......x J x
Silent movies with CWT! LOL! Sarah :)
Always a pleasure
Loved the woods and stream. Very relaxing.
Glad you enjoyed it, Sarah :)
Hi, Sarah and Andrew. Good to see you. Happy I could true in today. Beautiful as always! Not a sword-like stick. HAHA! Great walk!
Kay
Hi Kay! How are you doing? I hope you are coping with lockdown. We can't wait for our freedom to return! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails We are doing well, Sarah. I appreciate you bringing us along on your walks so we can see a bit of different scenery. Kay
Thank you, thank you. Good to see you both. Hoping we can get down later on in the year ? Keep well.💕
Fingers crossed! Sarah :)
Thanks for another taste!
Our pleasure! Sarah :)
Beautiful walk and lots of interesting facts Did u find the untidy gardens?
Funnily enough, there was a mix of both! The untidy ones were generally building sites, lots of groundworks, but other than that they all seemed really nicely kept! Sarah :)
Beautiful walk. Andrew oil be back😂😂😂😂
😁Sarah :)
Porttreath - didn't you film a storm there before lock down ??
Yeh, did quite well for us! Good storm watching place! Sarah :)
