Exploring Mevagissey, Cornwall walk. Have you heard of John Carew, called the 'one-handed Carew'?

Have you heard the story of John Carew, or 'One-handed' Carew?

In our video today we explore the beautiful harbour of Mevagissey, a delight at any time of year. With its narrow streets, higgledy piggledy cottages and harbour frontage, protected by long harbour walls, it has attracted many visitors to enjoy a wander over the years.

After an exploration, we followed a 4.5 mile self-guided walk taking us into farmland and the neighbouring village of Portmellon. On our route we pass the reputedly haunted Penwarne Manor, once owned by the Carew family. We found a fascinating story of how John Carew lost his right arm in battle and developed one of the first wooden, prosthetic arms. From here we rejoin the coast path at the beautiful, Colona Beach at Chapel Point before returning to Mevagissey, via Portmellon.

This video was filmed during October 2020.

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.

Frequently 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.
