    Nothing like an eccentric vicar story to start the day! Hawker's Hut is worth a visit. Stunning scenery up there in Morwenstow & would love you to do a visit there with all his stories & the churchyard. So long since I went. Glad you didn't bump into the Nude Bude Dude along the way though! Such an entertaining walk & history. Love Bude. And so nice to see the doggies once again. x J x

    Brilliant - We are still laughing at the punch line from the Mermaid story - Another History lesson with fun - I think that there is a huge Community spirit in Bude, which has instigated the move of the watch tower, well done. Nice to see the Falcon Hotel - we stayed there earlier in the year & really enjoyed it. The Shipwreck story was interesting too, 10/10 for the clever folk of Bude for putting all that wood to great use.

    Another brilliant video! Just love the 'sound-track' of the ocean at the beginning ~ never fails to lift the spirits. There's something very cleansing about the Cornish sea and its moods...it seems to wash away any stress :) Really enjoyed seeing doggies out and about with you again ~ they get so excited on the beach...I guess it's all the waves, the sounds, the breezes, the scents, and the expanse all that beach to dig around in! (has the same effect on me too!). The beautiful coastguard tower was modelled on the ancient Greek 'Temple of the Four Winds' in the Agora, Athens, which is still standing...an ancient Greek 'horologion' (early type of clock/weather station). The Georgians loved referencing classical Greek and Roman architecture.

    Hi Sarah and Andrew and thanks for sharing your latest visit to my adopted (17 years ago) hometown of Bude. Another excellent video detailing more of what the town has to offer. The Storm Tower is so iconic and synonymous with Bude that it features in a number of my drone videos on RUclips and three of them are dedicated specifically to it. Shame you didn't actually call in to the Bencoolen as the pub has excellent and dramatic murals of the ship under full sail in stormy seas and another of the tragic wreck (complete with detailed account) taking up large portions of two of the internal walls. Well worth a look, maybe next time. Congratulations on a thoroughly enjoyable series of explorations of this beautiful county.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Your beautifully filmed footage of the Cornish coastline is always a great way to start my Saturday, large cup of tea in hand. Interesting to see a figurehead that's not a woman. The first photo of the Bencoolen wreckage looked a bit odd, until you said that the cargo was telegraph poles. I think people should look to the past for recycling and reuse of old materials. It's been going on forever, as far back as the pyramids and Greek temples. Coastal erosion is definitely a thing; here in CA, many a multi-million dollar house is in danger of falling off a cliff into the Pacific. Love your mermaid stories!! I'd love to hear more about this prankster of a vicar, lol. I may have mentioned it before when you visited a church with a mermaid story, but there is an interesting novel by Sue Monk Kidd, called The Mermaid's Chair. I think you'd like it, Sarah! Fish & chips looks great, though I'd pass on the mushy peas. I am, after all, only 1/4 English! :D

We found your channel via Wendell, and I've been looking at your videos & reliving our trip this year - Fowey, Pentewan, Marazion, Newquay & Bude - we also have 2 dogs so its doing a lot of walking as so many places dont allow dogs and thats when you discover little gems like the Churches and local history - if you ever go to Pentewan & follow the coastpath north there is a tiny little church up on the clifftop with a photographic display of the local history - we even had a dip in the Bude pool this year, about 25 years since our last dip there - great videos both :-)

    Great visit and storytelling again, Sarah and Andrew. It's interesting that the gravestone at the Church of St Michael and All Angels of the seamen from the Bencoolen tragedy was placed at a right-angle to all the other headstones. Usually, graves face to the east to greet the rising sun - in both Christian and pagan traditions. I wonder if it was moved so that it stands out a bit more? Just a thought. Greetings from Bodmin Moor - the remote bit!

    Great video as always, Bude looks nice to visit. Of course coastal erosion is a normal process that has been happening throughout history, long before human civilisation. Look at the story of Dunwich on the Suffolk coast, which was lost to erosion in the 13th Century. But it is true that modern sea level rises and coastal defences are increasing the rate of erosion in places.
