Clovelly and the local Coastal path

Most of the buildings in Clovelly are 500 years old or more though they bear an inscription CH followed by a date in the early 20th Century. This is the date when they were restored to some extent.
Clovelly is on the North Devon coast overlooking Bideford bay and is a place my wife and I like to visit on occasions.

[@martinkavanagh196]

In 1964 a mate & I pulled into a car park for a kip about 2.00 a.m.after driving down from London .. early dawn we looked down the cliff to discover Clovelly .. BEAUTIFUL and not much changed.. thank you for sharing Sandy.

[@WiltshireMan]

It's a nice place Martin and yes unchanged mostly

[@raywestwood2900]

I was five when I walked that hill " part carry" I am now seventy six and it has changed little, great video many thanks.

[@gregpenny4384]

Thank you, Sandy& and Mandy, for a very enjoyable outing, and as always topnotch camera and editing.

[@elderhiker7787]

How utterly charming. I enjoyed your day hike through the town and down the coastal path. I’m thousands of miles away in Pennsylvania, USA, but your excellent storytelling and camera work was very compelling and I was with you step-for-step. This video of yours just made me feel good. Thanks a million, Sandy.

[@WiltshireMan]

|Thanks. thats great news

[@shamuswint4575]

Once sat under the Angel's Wings forty odd years ago facing inland as the wind was howling in from the sea. Had one of life's great moments watching a fox patiently stalk and catch a pheasant. A strangely cruel but beautiful event. Thanks for the memory.

[@WiltshireMan]

You've summed up nature quite well in a few words.

[@madgardener5820]

When all this social isolating is over, I'll go to Clovelly. In the final few days of my forties my wife asked what I would like to do for my birthday. I said "I'd like to go for a walk". "Where shall we go?" She asked. "No" says I "I said, I'D like to go for a walk" So I went by myself to Hartland Point. Lovely and peaceful. Got back late. Fantastic

What a Beautiful Place Sandy, Thank You for taking Us All Along with you. Great to see Mandy looking well PEACE :-)

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

That Sandy made for highly enjoyable viewing, our kids were young last time we went there so didn't do any coast walks, now I know what we missed, another visit on the to do list. Mandy loves being outdoors as we can all see. Thanks for your efforts and atvb to you both.

Once in 1983, new baked nurse the I together with family members travel to Scotland, on the time of the ferry we landed in Newcastle and somewhere on the way to Edinburgh on A1 I suppose there was a small village with somthing similar in the building style. Wath the name was I don't know to day not even when I look at the Google maps. Remember that we picked up our host at the beginning of a bridge beginning before arriving to Edinburgh! The ferry line's have realy "thinning oute to a nothing. For taking a ferry over to you it looks as it is to take the way over Netherlands! Not too smouth travel ways when living in scandinavia!

Wonderful stuff Sandy, thank you. I used to live not too far from there.... you should have had your K1 with you...

that was really fascinating ans superbly shot & edited.. you could easily get a job making films for the local tourist board! ;) the Angels Wings shelter's style was very reminiscent of the Arts & Crafts movement but seems to predate it by 50 odd years (unless the carvings were added later).. quite something.

Never thought of going there off season, the crowds have always put me off going in summer. Went to St Ives two years ago, they were filming Doc Martin. Luckily we parked the car 5miles along the coast and walked in. There you go, Sandy Jack, the Martin Clines of Clovelly! Only a lot more agreeable!

I’ve kayaked all that coastline at different times from Bristol to Lands End. I live in Barnstaple and have kayaked to Clovelly many times. It’s a completely different perspective than from the water

[@WiltshireMan]

I can imagine you get a different perspective. Must be great

[@adelarsen9776]

As a loyal and dedicated disciple of your channel I watched all the way through. 1) How does the life boat launch when the tide is out ? Or do maritime disasters only happen at high tide ? 2) All this frivolity and palaver about water isn't helping..... 3) Besides a broken leg, there's nothing that can't be solved with walking. 4) I really did enjoy this film so thank you :-)

[@WiltshireMan]

Ade, Don't be silly. There's only ever enough water in the sea at high tide for it to be dangerous so they will never need to launch when the sea is out! You see us Brits have it sorted:) Yes agree about walking.Spot on:) And Thankyou:)
