The curious case of the missing hole! Portscatho, Cornwall circular walk

Thanks for a great video once more, you have already made my day, ready to face anything now. Thankyou Sarah and Andrew for making me smile and feel good. X Margaret

I'm a huge fan of Wycliffe, and love playing 'spot the location' when watching. The episode you referenced is probably one of few I've not yet seen. Just love old churches ~ fascinating anecdotes to be found in memorials, often testaments to wonderfully eccentric individuals. A joy to watch doggie digging on the beach (in his element!), and more gorgeous sea-glass finds! The sword, needle & feather found in the pub fireplace is an 'apotropaic' ~ a concealment to ward of evil spirits/bad luck (all objects with a repellent pointy end). It's a folklore tradition stretching back centuries as fireplaces were deemed a weak point in the home where evil sprits could easily enter. The owners of the pub should carefully put them back...just to be on the safe side!

Love this video, love your walk and loved seeing the seals. thank you.

Just watched your video about walking to portscatho and then getting to Gerrard's church, I thoroughly enjoyed it thank you ever so much. Keep doing what you do best and this is definitely one of them. 🎉😂🙏

As you say Sarah a Stunning walk to Portscatho, I have never been there, the former smugglers cove beach looked inviting, but inaccessible, wise not to go down all the way Sarah, always best to send Andrew first! What a beautiful little chapel and the history behind it, it’s amazing what you two Intrepid traveler’s come up with! I watched “Wycliffe” religiously, I thought Jack Shepherd was a cool 😎 dude back in the day, and I remembered the property they used for filming also the episode, at Gunwalloe Cove, so I had been to Portscatho after all! had to smile when Andrew said he hoped no one was watching him lingering and looking behind refuse bins, only me and several thousand happy viewers!! I wonder who filled the hole in 🤔 it’s a mystery, I agree Sarah Shoot indeed! It’s weird how Andrews camera died filming the Seals 🦭 maybe they have heard all the Seal jokes! 🥴 thanks for a very entertaining outing, looking forward to your next one, “👌” 🤗👋

We just love watchig you both on your walk's, if you don't laugh, you have not lived.

Wonderful walk Sarah and Andrew thankyou I really enjoyed, the information and history was great , beautiful harbour as well

Hello Sarah & Andrew - thank you for your walk from Towan to Portscatho it was great - one of our regular walks but brought to life by yourselves. We can t wait for the Royal Standard to open following renovations. We're so pleased you enjoyed the Chapel - I m the property steward & our small congregation are passionate to keep it open for worship & for visitors & walkers like yourselves. Keep up the good work - Denise 🤗😍🔆

Love you 2. You lift us up. Thank you. Xx 😃

A treat this morning. Thank you.

😱 A scary-mystery-foggy Crime Video 😆😅. Loved and enjoyed it ❤

A very relaxing walk - well that was my opinion sitting in my arm chair ha ha!! I love the stories, the humour and really appreciate the fact finding you do in your research on all these lovely video’s. Pressing my ‘subscribe’ button was the best thing if did - just to get the reminder to make a cup of tea and settle down to one of your entertaining video’s for “free.....” I knew so little about Portscatho & lived in Cornwall all my life. Thank you.

My son and myself go too stay for our 3 week holiday in Portscatho. This is a fantastic place that is so accessible for traveling around. The only thing I would recommend is people with walking difficulties should have the advantage of a car, as the Very Steep Hill from Gerrard's too Portscatho is very steep, even with people that haven't got walking difficulties find it very steep and difficult and tiring. Gerrard's and Portscatho are beautiful. 🤗🌻☀️

Hi both yet another great video lovely walk ...Julie loved her painting xx

Nice video, Sarah and Andrew. Lovely part of Cornwall. One of my favourite walks is to park at Porth and walk round St. Anthony Head. Remember going down that way when there was a minke whale washed up on one of beaches near Portscatho many years ago.

Ahhh..a definite ten for me...not much to rival Portscatho as a destination...even in the depths of winter 👌. Fascinating info as usual and loved the finds in the fireplace wall in the old pub. One of your commenters mentioned it was to ward away evil spirits....hope they put them back then eh 😋😁🙏🐾💝😘
