Who says you have to pay and cant park? It's high time we ignored these posters that demand payment for public countryside. This is OUR land. Just because some entity says they now own it, Its not for sale, it belongs to the people of the UK. Get them to show evidence of their authority and leave your phone at home. Enjoy life, live free.

Just Park, it's not law to have a smart phone app. Time we got this stopped, can you not see that compliance is our own demise!

Quite right

My father was based at RAF Predannack during WW2 - over 80 years ago - prior to being deployed to North Africa. As a boy back in the '60's he would tell us of his love of the Lizard and the many Coves that I too fell in love with too. I also had a great friend who was a commercial fisherman from Cadgwith, who I regularly visited during the '70's thru to the early '90's, however he was unfortunately lost at sea over 30 years ago and with that awful event, I unfortunately, I lost my appetite for the area for quite some time. Fortunately however, after being posted to the area several years ago, I've started to re-explore the Lizard which brings back some fantastic memories of both my Father and Good Mate Tony, who have now passed. Keep up the great work....

😅Kynance Cove has always been one of my Favourites it’s a must to visit, spent many sunbathing and swimming days there!

Whilst obviously a beautiful cove to visit, me being bed/wheelchair-bound, I can appreciate such views without having to be wheeled anywhere / everywhere (by my daughter). Plus, with my only travels taking me from my home, via hospital transport vehicles to St.Thomas' (diabetic eye care), Guys (failing kidneys - Renal Clinic) and Lewisham (Warfarin levels) all regular visits, and the full extent of my excursions outside my home. ... Thus, your lovely videos give the sense of freedom, and views of our beautiful countryside, with 'adventures via the imagination' _and_ your descriptive videos. Thankyou so much.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧🙂 🖖Live Long and Prosper. 🖖

Best without anyone there isn't it?! Thank you for taking me back there & reminding me how lovely it is without crowds of people. Sadly, I can't do this anymore so it's so nice to watch and remember times when I could. You are both so much fun to watch. My daughter on her way to Cornwall at end of month...just along the coast at Polurrian... her favourite cove. x J x

When are you going to go back to appologise 🤣

I love your videos. I live in Cornwall and have been all over the county. I love revisiting places I love through you because I no longer have a car. Keep going and don't stop. Big thank you.

When we were in Kynance Cove for the first time, we managed to get down the stairs to the beach without getting our feet wet. We were overwhelmed by the beautiful bay. It is by far the most beautiful beach in Great Britain, if not the whole world. Thank you for the great video. Kind regards, Günter

I truly appreciate the effort you put into these videos. They always make me smile.

Just Beautiful - A picture is worth a 1,000 words & a perfect evening for some R&R. Just loved it. Thank you for a super evenings entertainment.

I'm glad I'm a mountain person. You can keep the coast, the crowded beaches and the seagull thieves. That is, the seagulls are the thieves, and I was not saying that there are thieves who steal seagulls.

My gran used to live down church cove and often an children we would end up in Kynance for a Sunday outing we grew up in Pool so it was great going to grans at the weekend, I equally love Dossmary Pool area too

What a great couple, bounce off each other wonderfully, the humour is... well, I have no words 🤣 Not sure if I should subscribe for the humour or the views...

Great place, love to visit it, but always at low season/ It is madness at high season.

Thank you for all these great videos. Lovely to spot the green serpentine in the stone steps up from the high tide path 😊My friend and I had a break at Kynance Cove during a walk along the coastal path. It was during the warm days in July 2022, and at low tide, which was thoroughly planned. The sea was turqoise and calm and held about 18-19 degrees. It looked just as picture perfect as on the best Instagram pics. The beach and the whole area felt quite a bit bigger than I had imagined. We waded a bit in the sea and loved it. And I regret to this day that I didn't take a dip. We decided against it because it would take more time than we were willing to spend (having a good distance to walk further on), and the backpacks would be heavier with the wet swimming costumes, towels and bathing shoes. But in retrospect I see that it was a silly decision. There were a lot of people but there were still places to be seated. We loved the place, and I would give it 5 based on our experiences. Thank you 🥰 Torunn.

Very interesting and funny like always…what a lovely and interesting video again…you two are great❤❤❤

Love you two. xx

Brilliant video again, as usual laughed out loud a couple of times at Andrew's 'jokes'...!! Really brightened up another 'stuck in the house Friday'..... 🙂

Hi Andrew And Sarah,After Watching Last Year's Coverack Walk, We Were So Impressed That ,That Same Evening We Booked Our May 2024 Holiday, And Arrived Yesterday, Loving Coverack Already,Keep All Your Fantastic Video's Coming. Peter And Claire From Wiltshire.

Wow thumbs up 👍 like and shared out in you tube community. ⌚

What an absolutely beautiful video 💕Thank you.

Another great trek with Sarah and Andrew

We've been going to Kynance for over 30 years and its got more packed each year. last year the car parks were full and they were using a field a long way from the beach so we didn't bother. i believe the old film , "the thief of Bagdad" used Kynance for the ship wreck scene. You do some great video guys, really enjoy them and im going to follow one or two of your walks this summer . thank you.

Another amazing video thank you enjoyed

Thank you for the fantastic guide.

Lovely....just Lovely Guys!

Kynance Cove has a stunning coast line, but too complicated for me to get my head around, no trouble for a pair of mountain goats though, a most enjoyable virtual tour, Andrews Lion joke was a bit tame but made me smile 😊 and Sarah giggle 🤭 the incoming tide certainly does roar like a lion 🦁 I have a couple of pieces of beautifully veined rock that I lacquered and used for paper weights that I collected some fifty years ago:) thank you both for this amazing footage and great commentary 👌🥀🤗

Great video. Thank you both. Greetings from Bodmin Moor - the remote bit. 😎

Lovely video and a great place to visit. Thanks for your enjoyable review. Cheers Bob

Hi Sarah and Andrew, thank you so much for this wonderful footage of Kynance Cove. We visited this unique place often. I think if it protects nature it is okay that the National Trust restricted the access to the cliff top. But the rope is very low. I don't know if people let themselves be stopped from climbing over it. We love to visit Kynance cove in September. I miss Cornwall so much this May. Thank you both for sharing this wonderful videos. Have a nice weekend. Gabi:)

What a fantastic video, looks like you two had so much fun, so may laugh out loud moments, thank you for all the beautiful views, have a great weekend,Sending happiness your way, Lori

Brilliant, a really enjoyable video 👍 and like you, we’re fortunate enough to visit out of season which is the better option.

Thank you for another lovely video. You take me back to places that I love to visit, teach me something new and make me smile. In Cornwall, we seem to have become victims of our own success in recent years. For various reasons, I feel that Cornwall has become more popular again, which is great for local businesses but there is a limit to what our infrastructure can stand, and I have noticed a number of 'protective measures' that have been put into place at various beauty spots. Of course, coastal erosion has a part to play in this too. Your assessment of Kynance, in my opinion, is spot on. I think that your footage cleverly provides a constructive and realistic portrayal of the reality that visitors may find when visiting Kynance, and indeed the rest of Cornwall, while still emphasising the beauty of the place. I take landscape photographs of Cornwall as a hobby and there are many 'versions' of Cornwall to be enjoyed. Personally, I prefer the stormy, moody winter, spring and autumn version to, what I call, the sanitised, blue sea and golden sand images found in tourist brochures, and always search for alternative viewpoints at different locations. Ironically my preferred viewing point at Kynance was the one that is now the official suggested one, so I shall just have to plan another visit and find another favourite. - Out of season and in a force 10, of course! Looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful content, as and when you have time. Best wishes, - Sue

The difficulty we have had with any NT sites is that they appear to be aggressively targeting youtubers who post images and are monetised - on top of that, restriction of access seems to be happening at other sites in the UK. Great video though, really do enjoy your content!

Congratulations Sarah and Andrew - another of your little gems! Kynance Cove must be one of the places I never visited when I was living in Cornwall, because I couldn't have forgotten such an idyllic location. The colours and the contrast in shades in this video are absolutely stunning. As well as your skills, I think it must have something to do with the evening light. I support absolutely your warnings in the video about the dangers the sea can pose. Never take it for granted 😮. The old disused white cottage on the way to the Cove, in conjuction with dangerous seas, reminded me of the mother of all erosion - the Hallsands tragedy. In case you might want to cover this story yourselves one day (I really hope you will), just the barest details here. Hallsands is/was a fishing village in south Devon that fell victim to a terrible storm in 1917, eventually leaving just the one white cottage like the one mentioned above. How this happened is a scandal - worthy of being retold, in a way only you can, just over a century later as a tribute to the 137 people who lost their homes. Looking forward to your next adventure - Robert

I love your blogs I’m disabled and can’t walk far or do steps, hills or stiles so I enjoy watching you. I wondered if a more robust mobility scooter get down the high tide route?

Years ago I had a massive argument with my girlfriend about this car park. It was our first day on holiday and we arrived at Kynance early in the morning with no man to pay. I told her we could leave a note in the window and pay when we came back from the beach. She had a massive panic attack saying we was going to get clamped. So we drove out and I asked another person walking about what they thought and they said don`t worry and she calmed down. So we parked up and went down to the beach. Then she was going on about the path being too dangerous. Started crying that I had rock climbing boots on. Most stressful holiday I`ve had in Cornwall.

Just stubbled upon your channel! What a beautiful beach! I live in Norfolk, where we have some wonderful beaches, but I've never been to Cornwall. I'll have to visit this year! Thanks!

I admire your dedication to getting the lion pun 😂

I have a beach or two that I can walk to from home, dog friendly, and in over a decade there have been half a dozen people also found them. Wide beach, rocks for diving off depending on the tide & wonderful solitude. They are…

Love you two fruit loops ❤❤

Have you guys ever been to Cott Valley at low tide? If one goes there in the evening, head over the little bridge on the left, follow the path up on to the point and watch the ands End fireworks around 8pm.

They need to charge you for photos from that viewing point ,like they do at Lands End..

For £10 paking I would want my own viewing spot.

Was there last week on holiday. Thought something looked different to the last time I was there! 🤣

Excellent video. We always visit Kynance when in Cornwall. We park in Lizard and walk the SWCP to Kynance. We find NT membership very useful in Cornwall for parking. As long as one is a member parking is free.

can you do a report on Carlyon Bay developmen t please?

I remember the first time we went to Kynance Cove , lived nearby in Helston , as we were walking down the track , low tide one , we heard an almighty scream coming from down near the beach , we thought someone may have fallen on the rocks or the like , when we got down on to the beach , I asked a young guy if the scream came from anybody who had been hurt , he replied " No , that was mu Dad , he dived in to the sea and the scream was his reaction to the sea temperature ! " A beautiful part of Cornwall , the Lizard Peninsula is so scenic , thanks for the vlog Andrew and Sarah .

Classic Dad joke...can't believe in my 62 years in Cornwall...I've never been to Kynance Cove....Next on our list in the van...😉👌

What a beautiful place it is. I haven't been for ages because of the crowds, but will definitely get down there when summer has closed out this year. Art request - you did a couple of lovely pen-and-ink drawings with watercolour wash during a Warleggan walk video from a couple of years ago that I saw recently. They had long since sold (not surprisingly) but I thought they were fantastic, so please do some more of those....!

Went to Kynance a few years ago and it really was beautiful

Stunning panoramic scenery and soothing ocean sounds. I usually visit Cornwall late September to mid May, when it's mostly quieter. About 15 yrs ago I was lucky to buy the prettiest vintage sounenir of Serpentine rock, with one face polished like a sheer cliff, showing amazing colours, an the sweetest painted lead seagull perched wings-open on top (which probably dates it pre-'60s). I found it on a charity stall oustide Jubilee Pool Penzance that was then raising funds for restoration.

It isn't quiet in May anymore.

To be fair it does get very busy there and so more erosion is happening - sadly this means that some parts are now out of bounds. It's such a lovely place but not when it's so crowded you cant easily pass on the paths. Our dog had her first swim there so happy memories - it was November and still very busy

It does get crazy busy there during the summer. I tend to go in the evenings and catch the sun setting. Out of season, it's a joy to be able to explore without all the crowds. It's worth checking online before you go to these places now to try and find out if you need a parking app, so you can download it beforehand, as quite often the mobile signal in these places is next to nothing.

The rope is ridiculously low. Unfortunately it’s probably useless. There will be hoards of people disregarding it sadly

I went back to Durdle door in Dorset a few years ago as it was always such a beautiful place. It was a hot day and absolutely ramped with people. Only about 10% of the people were talking English. I didn't even make it to the beach, I turned around, walked back and left. Britain is ruined.

It would spoil my visit more if I realised later that they were not conserving the habitat for rare plants and animals.

The one thing they don’t tell you is that the beach isn’t patrolled by lifeguards. The sea can have an undertow pulling you out to sea. For a strong swimmer it’s hard but others can drown. A few years ago my wife pulled a man from the sea. Air sea rescue came but despite cpr whilst waiting for the helicopter the man died. A beautiful beach, but take care when swimming please!

If the gate is locked before published closing time you need a cordless angle grinder 🙂

We're heading back to Cornwall twice this year and will make a visit at least once, one of our favourite places. Sarah do you showcase or sell your paintings anywhere?

Hi Dougie, I have a shop on Etsy.com, cornishwalkingtrails.etsy.com. I listed the Kynance painting and it is still available at the moment. There are other pieces on there and I regularly add new stock. If you would like something specific, let me know. I charge commissions at the same rate as the shop prices, unless you require a different size. Sarah :)

I got wet feet there a few years ago underestimating the speed of incoming tide… thought I had time/clear path along the cliff, but mid way across a larger wave soaked my feet 😂

I went here in feb this year. The torrential rain travelling at 50mph horisontally meant i lasted ten minutes ! Maybe in better weather (for some reason that escapes me hardly any cars parked here 🤣)

17:43 There is a painting by Albert Goodwin (1845-1932) of "Kynance Cove, Cornwall" close to that very spot. I can't find a date when it was painted. A part from the sand, it doesn't seemed to have changed much.

National Trust is taking the piss with parking fees nowadays, our local little out of the way NT car park, which was previously free, is now £6 a day, other places I’ve seen are £10 a day now but when I went previously they were either free or £3. Maybe if they didn’t pay their chief executive nearly a quarter of a million quid, they wouldn’t need to charge so much for everytying. It’s certainly put me off going to NT places now.

The rock you call "Serpentine" is actually called 'Serpentenite'... And, when broken open and exposed to the air and weathering, this rock turns from its green tones to a reddish-rusty colour. 🙂❤️🖖 (Source: North West American Geology Professor Nick Zentner).

The stroms this year have wrecked a lot of our coastal areas. It must be frustrating for the locals too having these areas full of tourists trapsing through in the summer and often who have no repsect for the areas. So I can understand areas now being protected by NT. Bit expensive parking. Lovely coves. 👍😀

The sign doesn't say you must not cross the rope. It is only asking you to keep to the path. It is a nice location that I walked back in the 1990s. I am now 71 and would not be able to do it again , I hope you had a good day from EVE from Kent.

I went once and got cut off by the tide as I was round the corner side on the baby cove beach... We had to wade stomach deep out. We didn't realise it cuts you off like that. 😭

Really loving the views xxxx

It won't be for erosion only, it will also be for your personal safety. Who wants to be standing on an eroding cliff when it gives way?

Hiya not been for 13 years but after seen this video must go for my birthday which for the beach sake unfortunately will be heaved with tourists. But.... needs must as getting 66 I need to be there on the day!😮(25 July) Question. I saw you did pay with coins 👍. However, about the app!! What if one has no mobile phone? Can parking only be established via app? Thank you for replying. (Eons ago one birthday i wild camped right next with my then partner, lying in a ditch, noone could see us. Oh hum, well i booked a airb. in Mullion instead. Yes, i do live in Cornwall! But too much for myself to drive a n d enjoy the day) 6:19

I love your videos, thanks so much I love Cornwall. You are a lovely couple.😊

Could you perhaps do a video of a walk for disabled people could Do on the flat?love watching you you and wish I was able to do the walks,i live in Cornwall💗

Went to Kynance about 12 years ago. I had my photo taken on the edge of the cliff (the area you are no longer allowed to go on). Over tourism is causing lots of problems and untold damage. As you are locals, I feel you have a right to climb over the rope and take your pic. I'm not sure which route we took to get down (and up), but it was all rocky and it was literally clambering over rocks. Got down to the beach and had a little paddle. It was lovely and it was quite windy too. There was another path which led to the cafe, so you either took the rocky route or the cafe route but I don't think there was access to the beach from the cafe. Have they put a new path in then? Seeing abandoned housing near the sea that needs rebuilding is a very rare sight in Cornwall these days.

Love the way KZreadrs think signs don't apply to them 😂

Kynance is suffering badly from over tourism. I really wish the press/media/KZread would stop mentioning it, or at the very least list the many negatives about it. I live near Kynance Cove and it really needs a limit on the numbers of people going there. There are several other beaches in the area with more facilities and they have easy access without the need of climbing experience.

I found your comments interesting as we've had a holiday on the Lizard many times these past 60 years with children, grandchildren, dogs since the early 60's. Now in our 80's with mobility difficulties we visited last year for probably the last time. You mentioned other similar beaches in this area and would welcome your advice please.

Too many holiday people here now and dont get me started on 2nd homes

The access to the cliff top is banned for safety reasons, the cliff keeps crumbling and falling. (No Darwin awards (yet.) ) Also at high tide there in no beach, also Kynance is not monitored for bathing water quality. It also gets rammed with tourists and there are limited facilities.

I thought the tide would have gone back out by the time Andrew got to the lion punchline !!😂And of course, Instagrammers won't take any notice of a length of rope, will they. Just to get a few more likes.😠 Beautiful place all the same.

Was it high tide..

Beautiful place, but the walk back to the car park slaughters me !

Nice video but the amount of ads was quite annoying

It would have been cheaper to renew your membership than pay for parking. My single person NT is paid monthly by DD, and costs a mere £5.70

It’s a beautiful place but I went last year and people just left disposable BBQ’s and rubbish on the cliffs down to the beach. So disrespectful. Leave nothing behind but your footsteps is always my mantra.

What if you haven't got a smartphone?

Banned isn’t really the right word, more Restricted, or Protected

No tourists no money 😢 We visited few years back when parking was cheaper and acceptable. Lived walking around the beach with my then young daughter and wife yer she was young once too lol. We had the sea coming in but had a good meander in the caves etc. Great place 👌 Maybe they should put topedms up on the bridge to vintage eh to reduce the island erosion 😅😅😅😅 Great video loved it. Kev the brinklow kayaker See me too on youtube...❤

£10 to go to the beach..everything’s got a price in Cornwall..overpriced spondooley ice creams would be nice here..

Never bother with Cornwall anymore, way too many people. Sad.

Have been there many times but the last time it was spoilt by too many inconsiderate people leaving litter everywhere

Just climb over it.

So basically, they are protecting one area but, let film crews use it,and then ruin more habitat building a new viewpoint, The National Trust are a disgrace, almost as unethical as Cornwall council

Erosion control versus 'perfect instagram photo'. mmm
