We were inspired by a viewer's comment who told us about a Cornish author named TJ Blight, who wrote a book in the 1870's called "A week at the Lands End". His book documents his journey through the West of Cornwall in the mid Victorian era. We managed to find a copy of his book and decided to walk in his footsteps from Porthgwarra to Nanjizal Bay famous for a stunning sea arch known as the "song of the sea".

For Poldark fans you may recognise some of the scenery in the video as this was a filming location for the series. We both feel that that the stretch of coastline between Porthgwarra and Lands End is possibly the most stunning stretch of the Cornish section of the southwest coast path, watch our video and see what you think. PS Porthgwarra is also a great spot for a pasty!

The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Occasionally we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too! The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!

Frequency asked questions:
What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII

How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.

Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.
