Cornwall is absolutely beautiful

So many sandy beaches in the UK, you need to get outside London more often

Sorry, if you think that most beach's in the UK are "pebbly" you must be going to the wrong places, 90% are sandy.

Most beaches in Cornwall are beautiful golden sand 😂

My favourite part of Cornwall is on the north side with its fantastic sandy beaches, next time you go, check them out. Me and my sister holiday every year to Perranporth and the area really feels like home for me.

I visited Cornwall in 2008. The Eden Project, Falmouth area, Trebah Gardens, Penzance, St Michael's Mount. What a lovely place to be... I could live there!

My homeland 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 The Minack is the most magical place to watch theatre, opera and many other genres of performances.

Megan you have come so far, your cinematography and music is sublime, the serene nature of you exploring a part of our country is heart warming, your presence on screen and talking in such love and affection about the scenery makes me want to back to childhood holidays down there, your over powering love and description of our fauna and flora makes you the next David Attenborough in waiting...

I was born in Cornwall (so were my parents and their parents and theirs ad infinitum) but I grew up in South Africa. I returned to Cornwall 6 years ago and being away for so long means I take none of the beauty for granted. Cornwall is in my blood. Cornwall is my mistress.

Lovely video , great views of Cornwall,glad you had good weather,the Minack theatre must be the most off the beaten track venue in the UK,spent a fortnight down the a little down the coast at Porthcurno ,we could hear the performance most nights,glad you had a good time ❤❤.

Roads in the UK are not small or tiny... they can be narrow, and that's the price we pay for beautiful country- and sea- sides.

What always amazes me is that Lizzard Point is almost exactly 50 degrees north. That’s slightly closer to Calgary than the 49th parallel and something like 80% of Canadians live further south than that😮

This was a FANTASTIC video!! I love seeing people thoroughly enjoying all the different places the UK has to offer, rather than sticking to just touristy London areas. As a native Brit, living in a bit of a dreary town, it's sometimes easy to forget just how pretty the land I live in really is. Which is why I enjoy these types of videos so much - it helps me fall back in love with my country all over again and time I'm getting a bit jaded. Visiting the Eden Project is one of my bucket list items, as is visiting the rest of Cornwall - it's SO gorgeous, especially in the sun!!

Cornwall is a lovely part of the UK - with or without sunny weather. It fiercly retains an identify which is clearly different from the rest of southern England. It is very over-visited in the peak summer months (basically when school's out) but visit in late spring or early summer (as you did) or from mid September to mid October and you'll catch it at best. I live here and have done for well over a decade and honestly I still find out something new about it each week. So much history and mystery to it. If you do a return trip I would say go see Truro Museum (with its egyptian collection and its display of fun automatons), Truro Cathedral which is magnificent, St Mawes and St Ives which are both gorgeous and take a look at historic houses like Lanhydrock, Pencarrow and Cothele. Newquay can be a fun place at the right time of year (5 beaches!) as can Padstow - but avoid peak seasons at most of these places. Newquay has an airport, you can fly from London City to there and rent a car.

The Beach at Poryhcurno (where the minimac Theatre is) is a little gteen hut that is a blue plaque building & is where the first Telegraph Cables were laid from to America,Australia, Egypt,India,& Africa by Brunels Great Eastern the only Steam ship that had both the capacity to carry enough cable & also enough Coal to journey both ways as no coal had been discovered in Australia at that time?? Over the years the origional cables wrre replaced with morse cables & more recently fiber optic they still start out from thesame beach but from a modern building hidden further up the beach the little green hut is now a museum,from which worldwide comunications was born & ultimately lead to the WWW & INTERNET!! Even Today the cables carry more traffic than Satelites!!

It is over 60 + years since I was in Cornwall and it brought back memories. It is nice to see you enjoying life, I wish you all the best in you future adventures, Take care sweetheart and God Bless.

I live in Cornwall,and yes,it’s beautiful. 😍

Whaaat?! 93% of the beaches are sand. Of that 70% are white fine grain and the rest are thicker yellow sand or coarse sand beaches. On a sunny day, like today you can forget you're in the UK with the palm trees and clear or turquoise water.. DEFINITELY check out more of the coast!

I haven't been to Cornwall for 25 years. That's a depressing thought. Last time I was there was August 11th 1999, for the solar eclipse. And as many who travelled to Cornwall for that event will tell you, in typical British style, it was bleedin' overcast! 🤣🤣

8:28 is a perfect example of dichotomous nature of the UK. The harsh bare rocks on the edge of the sea are beautiful in their own bleak way, but then those same rocks on the higher cliffs are covered in dark green and so much more special ( for me ). It is one of the upsides to plenty of rain, there are a thousand shades of green in nature, and those deep dark rain born greens on a sunny day are great.

That brings back some memories! I went to school in Cornwall and used to get dragged to the Minack to watch plays all the time. The beach next door - Portcurno - is one of the best in the world, in my opinion.

Kernow is a magical place,the most unique county in england with its own Patron saint its own flag & anthem, more connected throughout history to the Celtic Countries of the UK than England!.

I have not got round to visiting the Eden Project yet, but I did have a guided tour of the site when it was a working quarry owned by English China Clays. I remember looking down at a lorry that looked like a Dinky toy and when it came up and drove past us the wheels were bigger than I am.

And there are sandy beaches in the North East! Glad you both had a great time ❤ If you do go back then maybe check out Padstow, Looe and the RNLI memorial to the Penlee lifeboat in Mousehole. ❤

Why can’t the English be more considerate to the Cornish population? Stay away from Cornwall!! You do nothing but clog up the place with your Caravans, motor homes etc!

If you ever get the chance, take the trip over from Penzance, Cornwall to The Isles Of Scilly. One of the most wonderful places in The UK and actually where the most Southerly (and South Westerly) point of The UK is (Lizard is the most Southerly of mainland UK). The beaches and sea look almost Caribbean (but not in temperature).

Created in an old disused quarry, the Eden Project is quite unique. The architect who designed it, got inspiration from bubbles in a washing up bowl.... It's a stunning place to visit....

My family and I have never made it to the Eden Project (yet), in spite of more than two decades worth of summer holidays in Cornwall! So thank you for the delightful video of it. A couple of things though; if memory serves the Lizard is a fair old drive (1 hour plus) from the Eden Project, so if you get car sick perhaps not the best choice, secondly (though this only works if you drive) you won't get car sick if you do the driving! Finally you might try going to the craft fare in St. Just (in August) it's amazing! Lands end is worth *one* visit but that's it. I think you are hooked - one visit to Cornwall is *never* enough!

Cornwall seems to be a LOVELY place to visit...I wonder when the water usually warms up enough for bathing in the summers..

Depends on the summer. Couple years ago I was out in boardshorts till September.

I am currently on a holiday on the north Devon/ Cornwall boarder. I'm staying at Bucks Cross ( Devon ) right on the ocean coastline, just a few miles up the A39 Atlantic Highway from the Cornwall border. For the best beaches, you'll want to visit Newquay and Bude in North Cornwall , i was at Bude a couple of days ago,in fact, i went two days on the trot.!! Also, North Devon has some very nice sandy beaches as well ,Staunton Sands i went to yesterday, and there's another beach just a bit further around the headland called Ruda. All these beaches are surfers paradises, with great facilities.. Get back down here and spend more time.. I'm on a two week break, and I've still got a week and a half to go.!! More beaches for me.. Another great place to visit again just down the road from where i am is the coastal village of Clovelly. Where no vehicles can go, it's a privately owned village with a visitors centre ,well worth a Google nd a visit..!! Great video, btw..🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧👍✌️❤️

It is also a Celtic nation like Scotland, Ireland,Wales, Isle of Man with it’s language similar to Breton & Welsh. The Cornish certainly don’t like being called English.

I lived in London for 6 years when I was offered a job at 19, it was great at that age, I even did the obligatory walk every person not from London seems to do along the stony beach in Brighton 😀But when I was offered a transfer near my old home in the Marches (The Shires on the England/Wales border) when I hit my mid 20s I jumped at the chance. I now live about 5 miles from my old family home, about 60 to 90mins away from the sandy beaches of South Wales, I have the Black Mountains rising up in the fields behind my house, and from the front of the house, I have a lake about 100m away and a ruined castle which I can see from a bedroom window, would I live in a big City now? Not a chance, I'm an outdoorsy person, only really happy in hiking boots, climbing or on my MTB, the big city, did it, wouldn't do it again. 🙂
