From Wireless Waves to Pirate Gold: Exploring Marconi to Dollar Cove.

#Cornwall #CornwallHolidays #CornwallTravel
Welcome back to the channel! Today, we’re setting off on an unforgettable journey along Cornwall’s wild Lizard coastline—where technology, mystery, and adventure collide. Starting at Marconi Station on Poldhu’s windswept cliffs, we’ll see where the world’s first transatlantic radio message was blasted into history, forever changing how people connect across oceans. From this pioneering spot, we’ll follow the South West Coast Path past coves, beaches, and tales that just get better with every step.

Along the way, I’ll share local legends and smuggling stories that add colour to the breathtaking views—like Gunwalloe’s “Church of Storms,” its ancient bell tower standing defiantly in the dunes, and the fascinating tunnel tales and shipwreck sagas that fill the salty air. We’ll dive into stories of dashing smugglers, heroic innkeepers, and the secret warning bells that may once have guided mysterious midnight cargo ashore.

At Dollar Cove, where Spanish galleons supposedly left silver scattered in the sand, it’s all about hunting for lost treasure (or just soaking in the epic scenery). Whether you’re here for the drama, the history, or the possibility of actual pirate gold, this slice of Cornwall never disappoints.
