Скачать или смотреть Warleggan - twinned with Narnia! A walk in one of the remotest villages on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall

Join us in our video today as we explore Warleggan, on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. It is off the beaten track and described as a gateway to Narnia. With a story of a turbulent vicar and a beautiful ruralist gothic house, high on Bodmin Moor, Warleggan is a captivating place to visit.

A feeling of Narnia begins as you get close, with the increasingly fairytale-like woods and narrow winding roads as you approach the village. I was intrigued by the name Warleggan, having heard it in Poldark. Warleggan gets it name from a Cornish word, Garleggan, meaning 'high place'. The highest place in the village is Carbarrow Tor, just north of the church, standing at 912 feet.

Our walk takes us down into a steep-sided valley that feels secluded and untouched by the 21st century, as if you have entered another world. The path leads to a tumbling river and a wonderful gothic house, once home to the Brotherhood of Ruralists, a group of twentieth century artists, craftspeople and poets, continuing the feeling of being in another world.

We also visit the church which is set above the village and has a wonderful story to tell of a vicar that fell out with his parishioners, and delivered sermons to an empty church.

In this video, I can't resist grabbing my sketching stuff, and create a couple of little sketches as mementos along the way. These are available on my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CornishW...

We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Sometimes 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!
