Reckon I'm gonna visit herein October...keep the Vids coming always a good watch 👍
👍🏻
Being a floating rock in space....a lot of those buildings were probably stores, workshops and offices I bet.
Another typical no-action plan. Purchased 20 years ago and still no hint of a serious excavation strategy for the site. My guess is that the local council can't afford to take the risk of finding anything of historical merit under the surface. It may scupper any plans they have of developing the site for more affordable housing projects or leasing out land for additional garden allotments! This site SHOULD have been excavated when Chysauster was being examined but, as half of it is now lost under housing, the opportunity has long since past. They haven't even bothered to erect an information board with theoretical site plan for the encampment. Very poor!
I agree. It is poor. The past is so important to preserve.
@@theBriceSide Yes, they've clearly given up any serious intent to excavate the site. I'll be honest and say that imo a visit to the 'castle' is not worth the time or effort as it presently stands. At the very most you'll be able to say that you went there; nothing else! PS:- When I lived in Newlyn there wasn't a finer pasty shop than Eddys Bakery at the foot of Paul Hill. Sadly it shut many moons ago!
@@NickPenleeI loved Eddy’s. Fantastic pasties! Yeah, there’s nothing really to see at the castle. Lesingey Round on the west of PZ is a very interesting site. Highly recommend that place if you haven’t been. 👍🏻
Wow awesome never know this place existed good job thanks for sharing 👍.
It’s worth a look. 👍🏻
@@theBriceSide 😎 cool beans have a awesome weekend. 👌
Interstellar vlog. Never been here since they turned it into the sculpture gardens. To me it will always be Tolver Woods, where as kids we made camps and rope swings, and later was a favourite place to walk dogs. Bit like Trevaylor.
Good info. Didn’t really know its history. 👍🏻
Hi Andrew. Another cracking video mate, well now you’ve had a McFadden’s pastie every other one will be just ok 😂😂 now that is one amazing view and yes it never gets old. Last time I was there a mate of mine got married there, he had a big marquee put up there it’s was amazing 😊😊
It is beautiful for sure. 👌
@@theBriceSide yes I agree mate it’s well worth a visit.
Kids doing activities, No phones in sight, great parents ❤
And me sneaking into a pasty shop!! 😂😂
@@theBriceSideyou are a legend Brice
@@SlothyVlogsI’m in pasty withdrawal at the moment. It’s been over a week! The sweats are kicking in.
Yes,they're very good parents,&the children are exactly how children should be.
Great vlog!
Ta!
Miss going to maze day since moving away
Good afternoon Mr Briceside. I told you macfaddens were good pasties mate. 😊I love that area around the cliffs, I was brought up on the outskirts of st just so it’s my old stapping ground. 😊
It was a good one for sure. 👍🏻
@@theBriceSide glad you enjoyed it,,
Can't believe you haven't a McFaddans before. Great pasty. They used to have a shop at the bottom of Causwayhead. Great vlog.
Did they? I didn’t know that. Yep, until this video I was a McFaddens virgin!
We really wanted to explore the cave at the end of the video last time we were there but it was covered with slugs of all things 😮
Slugs!! 😂😂
Hi there! Fantastic video of one of my favourite places!. That circular building at 11+ minutes in is one of Levant Mine's explosives store (there's another one not too far away), where they'd have stored the dynamite & gunpowder - far enough away from the main mine buildings that it wouldn't damage them if the whole lot exploded! The oval stone structure with the grille on top at 15 mins is one of the shafts of Wheal Cock, a mine in between Botallack and Levant - there's another grille-covered shaft down below on the seaward side, with an extremely impressive wall stopping it falling down into the sea! Yes, as another commentor says, the labyrinth you were walking round was the arsenic labyrinth - basically a huge flue, which led up from the building with the complex brickwork, the calciner, where the ore was roasted. The fumes passed up the flue, round the zig-zag labyrinth, over the arch, back along the labyrinth on the other side, then to the tall chimney. They roasted the ore to remove the arsenic, which was an unwanted contaminant in the ore, but they collected the arsenic salts too, as it was a useful by-product. I don't think it was scraped off by the children, I think the regular miners did it. It was known to be highly poisonous - their PPE was a handkerchief over the mouth and nose! I don't think they had a very long life expectancy! The Crowns engine house you walked down to - the upper one - was the one that hauled the ore up from the mine. There was a wooden superstructure built between the shaft - diagonally down from where the path was roped off - to the mouth of the shaft in the rocks below, which held rails carrying the skips that were hauled up out of the mine. There is a rather dodgy and dangerous way down to the lower engine house, which pumped water out of the mine, but it's not really worth going down there anyway.
Wow! Great info. Thank you. 👍🏻
The labyrinth was for collecting arsenic.The "waste" from the mine would have been heated,&the arsenic deposited on the walls,&I think that the children were given the job of scraping it off.
👍🏻
What a beautiful day! Those pasties look delicious. 😮🎉😊
They were good!
@@theBriceSide Can you give them a score out of ten please?...on the same scale as your pasty-off videos if at all possible please. Cheers 'n' gone.
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420I’d say a 7. 👍🏻
Another beautiful family day out ruined by people obsessed with filming every move and thinking everyone else gives a flying one about what they're doing
I really need to get out more. I’ve never heard of a raw fry.
Very traditional in Cornwall, but probably going by the wayside a bit with modern life. It’s delicious though. 👍🏻
You need to try a carvery at the Shire Inn on the Camborne Helston road highly recommended! Desserts are lush too!
Went there a few years ago, will have to return. 👍🏻
@@theBriceSide Maybe include a visit to Barripper Harbour too.
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm420👍🏻
Big like thumbs up 👍 👌 👏
Thank you. 🙏 👍🏻
Great video again mate, looks like you got your hands full with Shelley and the maccys thing 😂 the firm that was building all that on east quay went bust so that’s why it’s an isore. Shelley’s tacho looked very good, it is nice me and Emily have been there a couple off times. 😊
Yeah, we want to return and check out the pizza! 🍕
@@theBriceSide yes that sounded amazing think I’ll have to do the same 😊😊
@@jonstephens682Any pizza with copious amounts of meat on it is a good pizza!
Looks good! Must check it out!!
Defo! 👍🏻
I'm so glad I've found this channel, All through your Wookie Hole vlog as I was visiting, Awesome parents and a lovely couple and I've enjoyed viewing my favourite place in the world through your vlogs. 1k is just around the corner and nobody deserves it more
As always, thank you, matey. Glad you’re a part of our journey. 👍🏻
I came across your videos randomly a couple of days ago and I have really enjoyed your adventures and days out. You are both fantastic parents! Thankyou for sharing your good times with us.
Thank you for the lovely comment. Much appreciated. 👍🏻
Thumbs up Big like 👍 👌
Are you going to film the protest in Pz on Saturday
My ancestor was with the DCLI. We have his medal from Egypt featuring the The Nile campaign. It has Queen Vicotria on it.
Excellent. A nice piece to your family’s story. 👍🏻
What an interesting museum!
There are Cornish pasties and there are Ginsters, which are a completely different entity. I have had arguments with my upcountry father in law who reckons Ginsters are proper Cornish pasties. What would he know? They always stock them in the supermarkets up there and everyone thinks they are proper pasties. I'm surprised nobody has set fire to the factory tbh. I'm Cornish but I don't have much of a Cornish accent. My parents and hub come from the south east, so I have more of a neutral accent with the odd 'maeed' and 'ansom' thrown in. Unfortunately, the Cornish are being 'phased out' in Cornwall. There are less and less as the years go by, being replaced with Bolton and Birmingham accents. I don't hear the Cornish accent that much these days. All my neighbours are from upcountry, but they try to be more Cornish than the Cornish and this is why Cornwall has lost its identity.
I've never had either. If I ever pass the door, I will give them a try.
Used to work in Camborne in the 1980s and sometimes had a Berryman's pasty, which were quite nice then. I don't recognise the Pool area now. Changed so much and not for the better. I don't like Barnecutts. Not because of the pasties but because of their attitude, which is terrible.
Two pasties for lunch. Wow, don’t you get indigestion? The last Philps I had was awful. Never again. There aren’t many places that make a nice pasty now. I think I had a Hampsons one time and it was nice but it was a long time ago. Good quality meat is expensive which is why there’s never much meat in these things, or expect to pay £10. Best make your own.
This place is pretty impressive, I’ll be honest I never knew that place existed. Everyday is a school day 😊😊
Highly recommend
A coatee (you pronounced it correctly!) is a “little coat”. A short jacket popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Largely replaced by the more ornate longer jackets with lots of gold lace (frogging). It is a real shame that so many famous regiments have disappeared as the army has shrunk. The casualties in WW 1 are horrendous, I believe the regiment had two active battalions - a total of about 1600 officers and men. Casualties of over 4,000 show how often men needed to be replaced. The US casualties (in one year) of about 2,500 are from a division (about 12,000 men in a typical US infantry division). I think you looked best in the last red jacket you tried on! My first army commission was in the Devon and Dorset Regiment (4th Battalion), before I transferred to the Royal Corps of Signals three years later. Militia and Yeomanry regiments (the TA of the time) often had more glamorous uniforms than the regulars, with rich Colonels who outfitted “their” soldiers. Interestingly the Colonel often had little to do with his regiment after setting it up and would appoint a tenant in lieu, ie a Lieutenant Colonel, who actually did the work and commanded in battle!
Nice info! Thanks. Glad I pronounced coatee correctly. 👍🏻
I did this years ago when it was a horror walkthrough lol it's brilliant
Never went there as a horror attraction. Sounds amazing! It was definitely worth going to. We enjoyed it. 👍🏻
Great vlog, talk a bit too much
Wow! An old vlog for sure! 👍🏻
@@theBriceSideit came up on my recommendations
@@SlothyVlogsooh! Thanks for watching. Our very first vlog. Some of our early videos are shockingly bad!
Some of those paintings could be improved by a few well-placed deposits from the local seagulls!
😂😂😂
This is the first of your videos that I’ve seen. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. What a sad state Flambards is in! Done a few shows there in the past. Looks like a ghost town now. Shame.
Thanks for the watch, appreciate it. Yes, it is sad. Flambards is a great little park. Fingers crossed for the future. We will pop back in next few weeks to check on crowds levels. 👍🏻
We investigated in the car park and the signs are up but not open
If I remember right the axle and wheels are from and old trailer that obviously got stuck and abandoned. In the 80s there used to be an abandoned tractor with caterpillar tracks near the wall where your dad hid. We also used to do cross country through there from Humphry Davy...the joy!
Nice! 👍🏻
Glad to see you didn’t pick that ginsters pastie 😤 and it’s so nice to see the kids being kids and having a good play and not sat in front he to or Xbox. I love walking in the woods it’s quite therapeutic to be honest, must admit I have no idea where that film comment came from 😂😂😂 cracking video again keep up the good work.
Looks like Tilly was processed buy some thing in the woods 😂😂
We like to get the kids out as much as possible. 👍🏻
@@jonstephens682😂😂
@@theBriceSide can’t say I blame you there mate. It’s good to get fresh air in there lungs.
Your children are sweet&they're doing what children should do,well done to you.
Thank you, that’s kind. 👍🏻
@@theBriceSideit's obvious that you put a tremendous amount of effort into raising such even-tempered&well behaved children ,&it's paid off.I wish that more children were like that,&that there were more parents like you.
@@helenbenjafield7351You should see the kids off camera!! 😂😂 … But thank you. 👍🏻
The Seagull of the pasty world ... 🤢
😂😂
Cornish people go nowhere near a “grimsters” 😂😂
@@theBriceSide can we seek the best pasty in Penzance when i visit please?? The collaboration or legends ...
@@SlothyVlogsdefinitely, man. Maybe we’ll consume several!
@@theBriceSide YES! I look forward to it, Goodness
Love a picnic ❤
oh hey. theres me. magic dragon operator guy. cool. thanks for being nice.

It's the flakey pastry on both pasty that makes em rich Bricey. I know flakey when I see it. Me and dad did a double peninsula pasty and we, like you, drew the same conclusion. Oll An Gwella
We rode on the skyforce when we went to flambards on the 28th...
Yes, I’ve heard it reopened. That’s good.
Used to work in Redruth and would go and have a Bray's & K's pasty for lunch. I don't eat them that often but when I do, I want a good one and they're hard to beat. I've just seen your review on the Cornish Bakery and have sent my hub to go and get one. Looking forward to trying it. It's sad that the only time Redruth is busy is when it's Murdoch Day or something similar. It's a ghost town most days. Pleased to see Berrymans have renewed their signage. They never used to be open. The last Berrymans I had was 40 years ago in Camborne. Used to love the old Ghost Train. They can never totally eliminate daylight for some reason and you can see it through the cracks in the boards. They always made me laugh.
Just like m&ds and codonas in Scotland 😢sad to see funfairs like this go to waste
It is very sad.
Watch out, look behind you! Mr Seagull eyeing your pasty up. He is working out his chances from the undergrowth!🤣
🤣🤣
Most Cornish pasties are rubbish. Brays ‘n’ Ks in Redruth are good. All the chains are just awful now. Eating two rubbish pasties is very brave or maybe foolish. I’m not sure what planet Warrens is on. They’ve got too big for their boots, opened up too many shops and now churning out crap.
Yep, definitely stick to the smaller establishments.
What an amazing place we live in isn’t it, and I totally agree with you on the holiday cottages and second homes it is a shame. Dad had an old radio set at home when we was kids and we could listen into to emergency services on the radio and we heard the last radio boardcast from the soloman Browne and it still makes my hairs stand on end.
Scary … Yes, we do live in a beautiful place. 👍🏻
