I visited Clovelly almost 30 yrs ago and have never been to a more beautiful or enchanting place. I only hope I can return someday. I feel sorry for anyone who can't understand why beauty and history are meant to be treasured.

Oh I don’t know about that. I went there years ago it’s the first time I’ve ever been charged money to get in a town or village and there’s not actually anything much in it except some little harbour at the bottom of a hill. Apparently it’s about £8 to get in nowadays, plenty of nicer places in the UK that don’t charge you for the privilege of getting in.
So beautiful. The last time I was there was in 1988. It still looks the pretty much the same. I know it recently got used for filming “The Guersney Literally and Potato Peel Pie Society”.
Visited a few times and it never fails to conjure up thoughts of times gone by. Next time I visit, I’m hoping it to be by sea, now I have a big RIB and live across the channel in Bristol Channel in Carmarthenshire.
5 generations of my family have visited Clovelly, I and my younger sister all but grew up walking up and down these cobbels, and cinifilm of us as kids now on dvd is watched regulary by my grandson who we now take down there once or twice a year with my youngest daughter, love place if a bit over commercialised, still a great place, and you can still capture England as it used to be
I was there in september 2012 the only thing that had changed from the late 60's is, now it is commercialised and too expensive for a family at 6 pound per person. The villiage is still beautiful
How is the heat affecting this beautiful village of Clovelly. Here, in Australia we have in our Eastern Suburbs, we have a beach side suburb named Clovelly. Find it on the internet.
Unique and beautiful Clovelly-----I see several elderly people in this vid, and small children. Take heed---even walking down that very steep hill, on slippery uneven cobbles---is very tiring to the leg muscles. Going back up-hill, beware, it is obviously far more tiring. There is a Land Rover service ( hope it's still there) which will take you back to the car park, up a hidden private road, --for a fee.
It is indeed a very durable but slippery cobblestone road. The extensive pebble beach at Clovelly provides a limitless no-cost supply of road-making material! The slippery slope of the cobblestone road is very convenient for the homemade sleds that are used to transport heavy materials downhill, but it's quite a challenge for tourists with casual footwear.
@thebluebunny1 The 25 kg (55 lb.) sacks contain fireplace fuel (coal/coke?) for the winter. A little heat plus warm indoor clothes keeps the chills away during the mild Devon winter months.
If contemplating a visit to beautiful Clovelly, for the first time, especially if you are 'Mature', with possible limitations, or have little children with you, DO, make a full assessment of, the weather, and slippery pathway, when wet. I found the descent, almost as demanding on my leg muscles, as the return. I reccommend you use the Land-Rover Service, for the return, if in doubt.
Is there a backstreet behind the New Inn with a small chapel. I was there in 1977 and don't know if my memory serves me correctly. Also, is the village haunted?
I think this is the village where DOC MARTIN DRAMATISATION was filmed at. If you're from outside this village you have to pay to enter it. Its like a Visitor Attraction Venue. Very pretty quaint village
UP ON THE HEADLAND ABOVE, IS THE ENTRANCE AND GIFT STORES. A LARGE CAR PARK IS NEARBY, OR YOU CAN USE A LIMITED LAND ROVER SERVICE DOWN AVERY STEEP WINDING LANE. IF YOU ARE ELDERLY, NOT FIT, OR HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN WITH YOU, YOU PROBABLY WOULD WANT TO USE THIS SERVICE. WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I COULD WALK BACK UP, (WITH BREAKS ), -NOT NOW. EVEN GOING DOWN WILL TEST YOUR LEG MUSCLES.

Being an Indian I can't hope to live there because I wil be the odd man out kekekekeke and all will be British kekekeke
Really? And which family is this?
I was there 35 years ago and still remember it well to this day. It was beautiful and I can't wait to visit it again someday.

my grandma lives here at the look out where there are fruit around the door frame hehehe
😯❤
Is the village haunted? I was there in 1977 and remember some activity or another.
Looked much more beautiful in the sunshine ☀️
I've always wanted to go there. No one does 'quaint' quite like the English!
BUT USUALLY BY NECESSITY OR ACCIDENT OF HISTORY. VIRTUALLY ALL, COASTAL VILLAGES ARE /WERE CREATED FROM FISHING.
Visited a few years ago, very nice village, nice donkey's, nice pub in the harbour. Easy to get down, a hell to get up again :)
I used the jeep service back to the top.
The locals must be extremely patient people to put up with all the tourists..Very Beautiful place though. 💙
If I lived there what would help me tolerate the tourists is the thought that they contribute to the standard of living.

Wo beautiful place , just like fairyland ,i have dream to live like this village , hope one day it will be true..

Beautiful video. It's an awesome place; I'm so glad I got to spend some time there recently.

I really do love it there, its like its from a fairy tale

Is it haunted? I remember being there in 1977 and thought so...
Such a beautiful and unique village, thanks for sharing!
I visit Clovelly religiously when ever i'm in Devon, one of the most incredible hillside villages in England.
Lovely film of a special place ❤

I noted another wonderful bit of footage embraced by something from Vaughn Williams.. That makes it ever the more British, doesn't it just?
Very pretty, but way too many steps! Could be a nightmare in winter when they get slippery. Thanks for posting.

Wow it's a beautiful place!
un beaux village on peux faire de belle promenade sympas la musique
Some 30 years ago I had "tea" in the Red Lion.included strawberries and Devon Cream.
Visited there last week what a place to live but the walk back up was hard work
The song is greensleeves performed by Vaughan Williams, but the original writer is a mystery to this day

I stay their for Holidays in 1975 - great !

Excellent presentation.. well filmed

It's very beautiful village.
I love music..what is the title of the music?
Fantasia on "Greensleeves" for Flute, Harp and Strings, by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Thank you very much.
Beautiful 😍😍
Well filmed and edited.

Have you thought about uploading your cinefilm of Clovelly to UA-cam? I'm sure many people would be interested in seeing it
Is there a backstreet behind the New Inn with a small chapel. I was there in 1977 and don't know if my memory serves me correctly. Also, is the village haunted?
Bravo good bravo 👏👏👏

Very nice place
i would wanna go there (i’m from nyc) but the houses look wayyyy too close and on top of each other
So lovely. I wonder where they park cars. What kind of health care facilities exist.

Es más un museo lleno de turistas,que un pueblo.
is that actual cobble stone road?
YEP, AND ORIGINAL 17 TH CENTURY.
Like your video,but have been much better shot on tripod 🎦
My wish is from god to travel every city in world
i wonder whats in those sacks?
Tourists remains
Philip Croft 🤣🤣🤣
Only for curiosity, how much is a house at Devon?
IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY. HOW CAN ANYONE EVEN CONSIDER AN AVERAGE, WITH PLACES LIKE THESE, AND CITIES OR TOWNS IN DEVON
Just google but sadly Devon and Cornwall do struggle a bit with employment and seasonal tourism
@@Nexus-ub4hs Depends on where you live.
the locals sure seem strange there. they all dress funny and seem to be walking around in an aimless daze.
nice one 😂
maybe the music did it to them
Hi
