UNCOVERED The REAL Pirates of Penzance A nostalgic walk around Newlyn & Penzance, Cornwall

Is any truth behind the myth? Were there pirates in Penzance? Were they Cornish or were they from foreign lands? And what has the white slave trade got to do with pirates?

In our search we walk from Penlee House in Morrab Road, Penzance to Newlyn, explore the harbour and find an obscure little street, facetiously called La Rue Des Beaux Arts after the 19th century Art Colony. We also delve into our books to find a quirky story of heroic fishermen who took on an epic voyage but did they survive?

A fun video packed full of interesting facts.

The standard description bit…
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!

We love your comments and read all of them. We also answer as many as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot answer comments received more than a week after publication.

Frequently asked questions:
What are your dogs called?
Sorry but we do not release the names of our dogs but perhaps you could make up a name for them!

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 book 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.
