- Ilfracombe is a seaside resort and civil parish on the North Devon coast, England, with a small harbour surrounded by cliffs.
The parish stretches along the coast from the 'Coastguard Cottages' in Hele Bay toward the east and 4 miles (6 km) along the Torrs to Lee Bay toward the west. The resort is hilly and the highest point within the parish boundary is 'Hore Down Gate', 2 miles (3 km) inland and 860 feet (270 m) above sea level.
The landmark of Hillsborough Hill dominates the harbour and the site of an Iron Age fortified settlement. In the built environment, the architectural-award-winning Landmark Theatre has a distinctive double-conical design. The 13th century parish church, Holy Trinity, and the St Nicholas's Chapel (a lighthouse) on Lantern Hill, have been joined by Damien Hirst's statue of Verity as points of interest.
History
Main article: History of Ilfracombe
Ilfracombe has been settled since the Iron Age, when the Dumnonii (the Roman name for the inhabitants of the South-West) established a hill fort on the dominant hill, Hillsborough (formerly Hele's Barrow). The origin of the town's name has two possible sources. The first is that it is a derivative of the Anglo-Saxon Alfreinscoma - by which name it was noted in the Liber Exoniensis of 1086. The translation of this name (from Walter William Skeat of the department of Anglo Saxon at Cambridge University) means the "Valley of the sons of Alfred". The second origin is that the name Ilfracombe was derived from Norse illf (bad), Anglo-Saxon yfel (evil ford) and Anglo-Saxon cumb (valley) perhaps from a Celtic source (compare Welsh cwm), thus 'The valley with the bad ford'.[2][3]
Ilfracombe comprised two distinct communities; a farming community around the parish church called Holy Trinity, parts of which date from the 12th century, and a fishing community around the natural harbour formed between Capstone, Compass and Lantern Torrs. It is recorded that the lands by the church were part of the estate owned by Champernowne family, while those by the harbour belonged to the Bouchier family: Earls of Bath.

Haven't been to Ilfracombe for years. Lovely place. Great video, lots of wins. Thank you 👍
A stunning place, you need to make it back there!:)
We love these 2p pushers!!:only costs us about a tenner to win a 10p lolly!!
You're not paying for the lolly but the adrenaline-fueled experience that comes with it! :)
Amazing video
Thank you Lottie!:)
Love your videos!
I know you play for prizes but think an interesting challenge would be to see if you can make a profit in 2ps. Maybe start off with £3 and keep any coins that fall out of the machine from playing (instead of putting them back in the machine). Then once your £3 runs out, see how much money you have gained (or lost).
It would be interesting to see what machines you pick, and if you play differently.
That's actually a really good idea; it will be a struggle but interesting to see - we will try attempt it over the summer! :)
Hello tuppencebros i love all your videos i love the 2p machines like you hope your well ❤

Beautiful place! Shame that one of the arcades was closed but at least there was another one! :)
It really was, we got lucky but it didn't disappoint!:)
Hi I really enjoyed watching your videos! How much do you normally spend in the arcade per episode and what is your average number of prizes won? Hoping to see more of your videos soon!
Hey, Thank you for your comment, we spend a varying amount depending on how good the machines are. Here at Ilfracombe, we probably spent about £3 but often ranges between £1-5. We maybe win about 3 prizes with a £1 but again can differ based on certain factors!:)
I require the BEANS
Alright Jack 😂
