Exploring Cornwall - A Walk Around St Agnes
Ойын-сауық
I am on a whistle stop tour of Cornwall. My friend Mark Sellwood is showing me around St Agnes, a beautiful village on the north coast. This is just a stroll through and is not meant to be a detailed guide to the area.
The village of St Agnes, a popular coastal tourist spot, lies on a main road between Redruth and Perranporth. It was a prehistoric and modern centre for mining of copper, tin and arsenic until the 1920s. Local industry has also included farming and fishing, and more recently tourism.

Lovely to see again. I grew up and walked around the beacon all the time. My grandfather Jim lived up the lane. Gosh how I wish I still lived here!
what a lovely village thanks Richard and Mark.

Thanks Ricky. I must return soon. So much to see.
Grew up in St Agnes from age of 4 to 11. When I read the Poldark books, noticed St Agnes was never mentioned, but lots of places around it were, as if St Agnes was the centre.
Richard should have gone down to chapel porth beach. It’s a stunning place to unwind
I was dragged up in St Agnes....I was the reason for the "No Cycling" sign at the top of the Op ....opposite the white cottage.06.30.
Trevaunance Road not Trevanance!! 🙂 Is there a Beacon 🤔🤣 Nice video of my Home Village 🏡

Thanks, I was going to correct him.
What a wonderful and ‘typical’ Cornish village - so nice to see the weather getting better as the video progressed.

I love those Cornish villages. Thanks Ann.
St. Agnes is amazing! So cute! Loved it! Looking forward to Poldark county. That shoud be rather fun! Wish you had time for Port Isaac (aka. Port Wenn of Doc Martin fame), but maybe on your next tour of Cornwall. Speaking of which...I noticed the same red flowers growing out of the rock walls here at St. Agnes that you see on Doc Martin. Somebody that knows flowers of England helpe out - what are they? They are very pretty!

Ramibu 2 - I went to Port Issac last month; it is lovely but I would recommend that Richard goes off season very early in the morning as it gets super busy!

I have resisted the better known places - mainly because they are already famous and stacked with tourists.

@@MrGreatplum yeah if he went he would prob have to do one of his 6 AM walks to avoid hoards of tourist/fans. I love the show & would just like to see someone like Richard take their time walking through the village do as to actually see all the cottages

The village spoke for itself really! Thanks so much for watching.
Hearing Mark referring to the "Lynch gate" the locals obviously took their lives in their hands when they went to church!

It's really kind of you to say so. After our climb up the rock I thought this was a bit lame!
😊 Thank you for taking us through St Agnes, we have passed by it, although never stopped to visit...

Valerian is the popular name of Centranthus ruber. In fact the native valerian is usually found in ditches, presumably it likes to keep its feet damp.

I had read the books before the new series and it was pretty close to the original. Winston Graham being a fab author.
Is this meant to be serious ? 😂
