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.
I was five when I walked that hill " part carry" I am now seventy six and it has changed little, great video many thanks.
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.
Thanks Paul.
Muchas gracias a tí. Un abrazo para tí y tu esposa. Faltaba Lola. Saludos cordiales desde Tucumán-Argentina 💝
Fantastic tour of the area Sandy. Thank you so much for sharing these trips. 👍🙂
Wow, nice views Sandy !!! Thanks.
Nice work Sandy! I did the same walk in Feb 2017 and stayed at the Red Lion on the quayside. Great place
Thanks for sharing
Wonderful!!!❤
Lovely Clovelly only spoilt by the awful visitor centre at top of village. Thank you Sandy and Mandy.
very true
Absolutely beautiful. Great camera work. All the best to you and yours Sandy. I will salute you on Saturday morning as I pass.
Fantastic views there Sandy, I'm off to Cornwall tomorrow for some shark fishing. Mandy certainly has a spring in her step!

Thanks Coops, she is doing well when you consider what she has been through.
Wath a place! Incredible!
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! The line from Denmark is gone to as it is from Gothenburg. All best BarbroSweden
What an amazing place Sandy - stay safe - ATB
Thank you, Sandy& and Mandy, for a very enjoyable outing, and as always topnotch camera and editing.
That beach looks like a perfect spot for an Orthopedic surgeon to set up a week end kiosk. But very nice area we could us the water fall her in California we have both high and low deserts here and we need every drop we can get . but the government has chosen to let the water run into the sea . Instead of building damns that would probably drowned some infested deceased rat species . Happy Trails you 2
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 :-)
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:)
Now I understand - thank you :-)
What do you mean filming Mandy's backside? lol. Very beautiful destination. Enjoyed this very much.
LOL.It got in the way!
Great video well done.
Any chance you might do some more HF radio videos again?
Maybe when winter sets in HI
For sure
Beautiful views, beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing

Such a beautiful walk. Thanks for sharing. Tony
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.

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 :-)
Another really excellent video Sandy. Always interesting topics and information. PS Please don't forget radio :)
Sandy, That were the Christmas night express bus stop. Point of warning only purchase return tickets! Cheers
Thanks again for an up-close look at the beauty of England. I plan to visit GB in a few years, thanks to you.
I bet those houses cost a few Bob
Amazing video Sandy really enjoyed it
This is an awesome video bro, gee that couple you met had a long walk to get there, lol. No need to go to a gym living there as just walking around would keep ya fit. All the best to you both
very very cool love all your vids but the vast amount of senery is by far my favoret vid of yours,and you had mandy along.thanks over and out from the northcoast of america.
Great video Sandy, as always. You and Mandy look well. Thanks!
Enjoyed watching your video Sandy!! 👍🙂
Nice place to visit hope had nice time ther sandy looks bit like walk down to robin hood bay weather was nice
They've nicked all the bread mans plastic delivery trays
Absolutely gorgeous...thank you for filming this and sharing... stunning place. Bet you get some awesome storms to view
Superb job on putting this video together Sandy. A lot of very beautiful scenery and interesting trails around there. I am amazed by how well those old dwellings and structures are preserved for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for sharing your wander with us my friend, it is always interesting and enjoyable. See you on the next one.
Lovely views of Cornwall Sandy,the old cottages and chapels were beautiful ,this is a wonderful place whatever the weather .Thank you for a taking us along with You and Mandy 🙋This Coastline & Walks and the Waterfall worthy of your charming videos 🤗🤗 xxxBlessings xxxshaz 👋
Its a rugged place and I bet life was cruel there at times in the past. They must have been very superstitious and religious too. Lots of them perished in the sea! But a beautiful place still.
Smashing that!. What's the music/artist?. Thx
Enjoyable video Sandy, no cars, must have been a treat to walk the little lanes without traffic,
a really stunning coast line, loved the geological folds in the rock formations, cheers Sandy...Terry.
Its a lovely place Terry. Geology was something else
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.
It's a nice place Martin and yes unchanged mostly
That chilled me , very relaxing.👍
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.
|Thanks. thats great news
I must visit Clovelly some day, never knew such a quaint place existed. Incidentally I'm assuming they don't
use wheelie bins here, but wondered how their refuse was collected given the narrowness and steepness of paths.
I don't know how they do that. I guess it must also be hauled out.
Jeff and his wife had a long drive. Hope they packed plenty of sandwiches and a flask of coffee.
Nice one Sandy, enjoyed that. Mandy is certainly fit and well, she was leaving you behind!
She was stormin ahead Si. But I did get infront on occasions:) Yes Jeff did well to drive here. You've got a long drive too soon:)
@@WiltshireMan Tomorrow ;)
Outstanding !!! Sandy, you outdid yourself on this one. fabulous, Excellent editing, and very appropriate music selection also. you always seem to find the right music for your videos. Beautiful village. and the waterfall was impressive also. The landscape if also beautiful. once again I get to walk with you, on a wonderful journey thank you so much for taking the time and effort to do this. I can't expound the amount of joy I get watching this. I will watch if over and over more times for sure. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks Ellis. Clovelly has changed little over the years... WHich is a good thing.
What a truly beautiful place.
Thanks for the memories Sandt. I have a picture of me sitting on a donkey when i was 5, taken 66 years ago.
Dont think it's changed much
Absolutely stunning video Sandy, beautiful landscapes and a historical village. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers from one Yankee
Thanks Steve glad you enjoyed the video
Good to see mandy getting about on your adventures 👍
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.
You've summed up nature quite well in a few words.
That is a beautiful place to spend a little time.
Such a beautiful country you live in.
you should go out too lundy island its a cool place.
Very interesting thanks for sharing
Beautiful and quaint little chapel.
Lovely. Truly lovely.
Epic vlog Sandy. Cheers
Thanks Derrick. Glad you enjoyed it:)

That's looks like a nice coastal village there sandy , be careful on them cliff top shots as the big 57 is looming and you certainly KNOW when to hit that shutter button 👌great footage 👍📷

@@WiltshireMan I knew it was the 18th look out for the postman my good man , your just the ticket 🤔
Fantastic video sandy i never been in the chapels in Clovelly nice to see. The waterfall in fall flow there looking good. Love Church rock its a fantastic wild camping spot down there also Peppercombe bay near by has lots of drift wood and a fire pit great camping spot. Thanks Richard
We are fortunate enough to live in one of this planet's noblest lands.......
It is indeed a Noble land:)
Beautiful film thank you. Part of the world i am unfamiliar with.
How is Elsa doing not seen her in a while?
Take care.
Darren (:
Elsa doing OK. Getting on now so don't take her on long hikes or cold camps anymore.
@@WiltshireMan Comes to us all Haha, pleased shes ok. (:
Hola 🙋!! Felicitaciones !! Qué hermoso lugar !! Un placer mirar esas postales a través de tu video. Es acogedor y reconfortante. Muchas gracias. Un abrazo desde Tucumán-Argentina 💝
In the 60's went to this village on a horrible winters day, raining and cold, and parked my car in the carpark at the top of the village, the only car. Got out and locked it
and turned around and low and behold, a fella sprang from nowhere taking money for parking. Where he was hiding I had no idea. Thats the Cornish. Bill in Brisbane.
LOL
Clovelly is in Devon mate...
@@PillSharks The car park attendant came from Cornwall, and played the banjo as well.
What a wonderful video showing the beautiful sites, and so well filmed, almost felt like we were there! My family left Whitby England in the early 1600's, and this reminded me of some those views I've seen! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful stuff Sandy, thank you. I used to live not too far from there.... you should have had your K1 with you... I took mine with a simple home made vertical aerial to Hartland Point (shown on the signpost in your film) a few years ago and worked an Italian station who was portable on the side of Mount Etna! More memories! Les g0nmd
Clovelly is a beutiful place. Havent been there for a while. Thanks for taking us along on Mandy and your holiday.
Thats a really nice walk... Did you leave your car at Clovelly, to start the walk... I thought Church Rock was much further then it looks here.... Anyhow, great video - Thanks..
Hello there,
I remember there with my mum & dad & sisters in the Sixty’s.
They had donkeys taking people back up to the top. Think the trails where called up along & down along. .
Only holiday we had! .
A truely wonderful short film.
You have back many happy memories. I only learnt recently that the village is owend by one family and every house, building is rented from them. Apparently they refuse to sell any of them.
Last time i visited there i was about 7, hardly changed at all. I remember there was an elderly lady selling ice cream and omg was best homemade ice-cream i tasted!! Love Cornwall and thankfully only an hour drive from me!!!
You should have popped in for a coffee break on the way through Sandy 😀
I just needed to add a WOW! I have never seen geology like what you found at Church Rock-stunning* :-) Thank you so much for taking us along
I remember my family visiting Clovelly a few times when I was little. Great video, thanks for uploading. :-)
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!
Most excellent video; the views of the village of Clovelly, and the nearby countryside were enthralling. It is a beautiful thing to see you and your Mrs. ambling through these lovely places. Thank you.
Everything you capture I feel like I am there. Until I can get there I watch your videos. Thank you so much.
Breathtakingly beautiful- thank you 73 de kc5zch
enjoyed it Sandy , , , yep , a lovely walk , , Mandy looking right ' pert ' , , splendid camera work : - )
I was 14 when, 54 years ago I visited this area. the surrounding woods and cliffs seemed magical to me. I shall never forget my time here. It was lovely to see it again. Thank you.
The good Lady has a fair turn of pace on her. Bless. She fair stormed the hill & Steps
Great filming 👍🏻
Land of my childhood holidays, I'm sure there a plenty of good wildcamping spots.
It was so nice of your wife to let you join her on her outing.I hope she lets you join her on future outings.😚😁😚
What a wonderful video my friend....
There is a lot of history there.
Thankyou nice video to a part of England not yet visited by me.Be Blessed
Sandy lovely as ever. Pure bliss to add to the end of my day watching this. Glad you and the wife had a good time and shared.
Well you have done it again great vid Sandy a real lovely village!! all the best 73 Danial ve3tvb
I don't think I have ever seen such a forceful waterfall, it was incredible, nature is amazing.
Nature is amazing Bry. The power in that waterfall was incredible..And the sound! Something else and I'm going deaf!
Water from the sea in the form of rain and to the sea it return via the waterfall.
Lovely part of the coast Sandy, and you caught it at a dramatic time after all the rain we've had.
Noel
This is true Noel. The waterfall was very powerful.
I must comment on the near-professional videography and sound-mixing: A++! You excel in most things you do, I see.
Thanks, I try my best with amateur gear, especially the PC and software are not really that special.
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
I can imagine you get a different perspective. Must be great
What a fantastic architecture!
First class filming & editing.....you have really captured the essence of this dramatic coastline.......nice soundtrack too!
