Natasha and Debbie are discovering the South West of England. Devon, cornwall,Dorset and Somerset stunningly beautiful

Ahh i love Clovelly! a beautiful village. Devon is one of my favourite Counties to visit, glad you managed to find a video, there are many more beautiful areas in Devon. Wow some great gifts at the end, the wooden plaque and Princess Elizabeths wedding day souvenir book are amazing

I'm a Londoner & have visited Clovelly twice & it is beautiful. The filming doesn't do justice to how steep the cobbled lane is. Breathtaking!!! ❤

Clovelly is one of the most beautiful places i have ever visited. It is a long time since i was last there. The donkeys used to carry your luggage down to the hotel. The village most likely accepts donations for the upkeep of the donkeys.

Now that you've covered beautiful Clovelly, perhaps find a video on the twin villages of Lynton & Lynmouth, which are connected by a water-powered railway/elevator! You could follow that by Watersmeet (not a village but still in Devon), which I believe is still also privately owned. (Offer crumbs and robins come to your table as you sit drinking your tea.)

I am so pleased to hear the donkeys are still there, but are no longer expected to work 😊 and - whilst on the subject of animals - what an ideal place to have cats, with all those lanes and alley-ways for them to explore and no need to worry about them being run over 😼

Only half an hour away from my house! We visit Clovelly every year at Christmas it is a family tradition. We follow the brass band and the children from the local schools singing Christmas carols down to the harbour for a service, the Christmas light switch on followed by fireworks over the harbour. All in aid of of the amazing RNLI!

I'm in love with Clovelly in fact most of Devon. When i win a few lottery's haha, i want to buy a house in either Lynton & Lynmouth in North Devon or Dartmouth in South Devon. Then also buy a house in the Cotswolds, Grasmere in the Lake District, Sandbanks in Dorset and a house on the Norfolk Broads. 😍😉

Been there many times since the early sixties it never fails to empress me just beautiful . Try watching a video or Lynton and Lynmouth in north Devon

Clovelly is a stunning place to visit. On a clear day, at one point on the way down to the harbour you'd think you were looking out at the Mediterranean. Beautiful, just beautiful! Also, there's a waterfall that comes out on to the beach, not far from where the Little girl found her rock.

North Devon has some beautiful places, Lynton, Lynmouth are stunning and sandy beaches like Croyde, Woolacombe and so many other places. I grew up in Devon, Quite close to these places, If you ever get to the UK, The area is so worth a visit.

Clovelly is beautiful. Cockington near Torquay, Devon is also picturesque and Polperro in Cornwall.

Clovelly is a beautiful part of the world, I’ve been there a few times when staying in Ilfracombe (another place worth a visit). If you ever get over here, I definitely recommend - also Lynton and Lynmouth is gorgeous too, if you’re not afraid of heights you can take a walk around valley of the rocks and you’ll see mountain goats

Hello there both. I live about 5 miles away from Clovelly in the nearby town of Bideford. We’re actually on the North Devon coast, not west Devon as stated on the video. You would both love it around here, towering cliffs, river estuaries and miles of sandy storm beaches popular with surfers. Move slightly inland and you have the rolling hills of Devon, narrow country lanes with high hedgerows, ancient woodland and green pastures with cattle and sheep.

I'm English and never heard of this place. Now i wanna check it out myself

Was there years ago .Had lobster for lunch . Really lovely place . Maybe have a look at Portmeirion a village on Wales north coast.A very unique place with its Italian themed buildings.The village was featured in the tv series The Prisoner.

Thank you again. For another stunning video the little village was so beautiful ❤

Those two ladies have such wonderful tastes in destinations!

My Father and Step-family live there … they have 3 cottages in the village, my step-brother is the harbour Master and does boat trips in the bay plus he’s a fisherman. My dad lives right at the bottom a few houses away from the life boat house.

North Devon (Where Clovelly is located) is beautiful, I've holidayed there (Devon and Cornwall) many times, and in fact I'm back there again for a vacation in a few weeks. The people are great and the scenery is stunning. You should add Boscastle to your list of places to check out, famous for its floods and witches museum.... another nice video ladies, thank you.

The whole of the South West is gorgeous.

Check out at the bottom of that map there and you’ll see the Isle of Wight. Would love to see you guys check out this place out. . It’s beautiful and it’s a place where I spent a lot of my childhood holidays as all my family are originally from there. Fantastic beaches, beautiful countryside, lots of quaint villages and fabulous buildings like Osbourne house which was Queen Victoria’s favourite place. Hope you get a chance to take a look. 😊

Love the show! I have lived in the uk all my life and I am learning a lot about places in the UK I have never visited through your show. You both are such a nice couple, you should be made honorary Brits :-)

Went to Clovelly on holiday as a kid, That hill is really steep and long, Do make use of the Land Rover service going up. A BBC series, Villages by the Sea, did an episode on Clovelly in it’s first series. I’ve found the whole ep on youtube ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9CVDYlMC8zU.html

I have been to Clovelly with my family probably about five times and it is as good if not better in real life as the video. It was fascinating to watch the villagers pull the wooden sleds loaded with their shopping. I must say it is great to see both of your reactions to this beautiful place, almost childlike (I mean that in the best possible way). My wife has always said she would love to go back and visit and I am with her on that, just not looking forward to the walk back up. 🤣Love, hugs and prayers from Sussex, UK

You certainly don't get towns like that in the USA. UK may be small but we have so many diverse places & history. That's the best thing about Great Britain because it's GREAT!!!

Paying to get into the village must be a new thing. I visited in 1981 and there was no charge and the donkeys were going up and down the hill.

Most of the older Devon & Cornwall villages are just like this as the whole area is cliffs all around the coast. If you like this you should watch the move 'Fishermans Friends' 2019.

I wondered if you have watched a video of the USA. Cemetery at Madingly near Cambridge UK .Such a beautiful , tranquil place for the fallen American servicemen of WW2. Thank you both for your wonderful videos, I so look forward to seeing them and hopefully you get to visit us here in ‘old blighty’ as soon as possible. Trish, Bedford UK.

I love Clovelly, it hasn't changed for years! My Dad has some cinne film "silent film" from the seventies just before I was born, and apart from nobody wearing flares now, it is exactly the same to look at. The Red Lion pub's food was ridiculously expensive a couple of years ago though, the last time I was here, compared to what it was!

Awesome! I was only thinking of suggesting Clovelly the other day. Visited Clovelly a few times, lovely rare survivor. ❤👍

I live only a few miles away from here, but if you like to see more of it it’s in a film called the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It’s written by an American, but shot pretty much in Clovelly & is set during the Second World War. It’s a bit of a chick flick.

Live just along the coast, there are numerous picturesque fishing villages in Devonshire and agree Lynton and Lynmouth twin villages will knock you out of you think Clovelly is beautiful.

So glad you were impressed by Clovelly. My family raised £175,000 to buy an RNLI lifeboat in memory of our son Toby Rundle and which is now stationed at Clovelly. Hope you two manage to get there one day. Keep the videos coming! Chris Rundle

Look at corfe Castle in Dorset. What an amazing place. So beautiful. Love your show. Been watching for long while

It's always a pleasure watching you 2 girls ❤❤

Natasha and Debbie, Clovelly is a beautiful and wonderful well loved village, I’m glad you found it. If you are looking for unique and fascinating historic places you should look up the City of Chester my home town. Chester located in the North West next to the Welsh border and was once a very long time ago the Roman fortress of Deva, and is complete with Roman walls encircling the City, we also have a Roman Amphitheatre. The city inside the walls is built in the Tudor style with beautiful black and White half timbered buildings, in the City you will find something called The Rows a historic and fascinating system of two level walkways which are totally unique to Chester and will not be found anywhere else in the Uk, and must be seen, I think it is possible to see a video of just The Rows alone. There are many more things to be seen, a beautiful cathedral which was originally built in the 1500’s as a monestry. Of course like most places in England we have Castel remains, and we have a world famous Zoo. We also have the oldest horse racing course in the Uk. The thing to note about Chester is that it is a very small and compact City easily seen on foot . Also it has Royal connections King Charles was the Earl of Chester while he was Prince Charles and the title is now bestowed on Prince William.

You should check out the village where I grew up in Somerset called Dunster. A medieval village with a castle. You'll love it

just had to share this to FB feed, such a beautiful village and a huge Wow on those PO gifts

This is the most beautiful village I have ever visited. I’m not sure if I will ever return as my poor knees are wrecked and the cobbles can be hard work. Well worth a visit though you won’t find anything else like it.

Must be 30 years since I last visited Clovelly but it hasn’t changed. It’s just a lovely place.

If you want to pet a donkey may I suggest The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth in Devon! It’s right near the Jurassic Coast to and you can walk down to the beach from the sanctuary. ❤

I've been to Clovelly a couple of times in my youth. All the best to you and your channel!

Have walked up and down Clovelly many times! Love it!

I wouldn't recommend it for retirement - a bit awkward to manage a wheelchair on those cobbled slopes...

I went to Closely when my son was about 5 years old, Going down to the sea was ok but when we attempted the return my son had to be carried on my shoulders and it dam near killed me so i had to rest at the pub😀. A beautiful place but i would train as a pack mule before you visit. there are sleds which locals use to transport goods and sundry items around the village.

They seem to have a Lifeboat Station, so you could donate to them, oor the donkey sanctuary. It really is a beautiful area, the south-west has lots of pretty out of the way villages. The north-east tea towel depicts Whitby

If you visit clovelly in summer, you really should stay overnight at the New inn, clovelly,when the visitors have gone, the place is magical, the silence, and peace have to be experienced.unique.

My aunt lives in Devon and she took me to clovelly we walked down but there was no way I could walk back up it’s steep as hell and quite slippery on the cobblestones lol but it’s a beautiful place to visit.

I've been there once I was suprised that you paid to see it. It was worth every penny, beautiful place. If you're geting on a bit I'd take the land rover back up the hill though.

Devon is incredible

I have been to Clovelly a few times and yes it’s quintessentially English but my daughter lives in Devon in Wembury which is a National Trust Beach so I visit a lot as you can imagine just beautiful to catch-up with grandchildren and their play ground is the beach ❤

Only reason it car free is getting out you be driving up steps that if the car would fit on top that cobbled streets steep hills in the wet grip be limited so if you managed to get down, the climb out another story but looking at the images streets i think even my city car be too big , well main part is car free but a side road go to coast right next to it but that where some residents and red lion pub or guest house parking so if you book there you could drive up to 50 meters from the car free zone if you didn't fancy walk down but even that road was very narrow and 26% grade but good thing id say the closest car park is a free one, unsure if they charge in the big one. do not see any gates for payment, and walking from the free car parking if you can get place looks like you could just walk in to village. looks a bit winter the images i can see so could not charge in winter . but good thing both car parks look to have good amount spaces and not to far to walk. lot's holidays when i was young going to that coastline, do think ive been to this place. sure is very pretty, going there for sun set i think i will do one day a re visit. been to many fishing villages round that area one thing i do remember all those steps to climb. very pretty area of UK all along that coast line. im still exploring wales, ten years in and still not seen all whats on the list, but list keeps growing so one day i get south but top Scotland first and some isles like isle of Arran another area with stunning landscapes. next few visits to wales im sure going to make an effort ticking of some locations i want to visit, then start the fine planning 1k plus miles road trip to Scotland could take quite a few weeks, so a bit wild camping or turn car in to home in places accommodation limited or costly, the isle of Arran im excited for, first time im driving on to a ferry and might stay the night or get north ferry to continue north. so i sure got plans, and even plans heading south but they also very south on the list, i go to the easy places last, as Scotland up to the top the way im going just did a rough idea of route its 24 hours non stop driving 850 miles but that be more as detours along trip and no way it can be done in few days, ferry for isle of Arran south and north of island and ferry from Mallaig to Armadale to continue heading north. sounds like lot time away but it be stunning landscapes. with health rubbish and not getting better i go Scotland first, even now that road trip is going to be hell of a challenge so cannot leave it too late, leave it to late pain take away lot enjoyment. for sure south is great too south west, tend to keep away from London south east. south west coast line very pretty lots nice little villages and towns, some cider farms too what you can visit, one day i get back there :) just a very long list places / locations

😊 Clovelly is stunning. I live about a 15 minute drive away and used to work there every day. That was a scary drive down though 😅

Live in South west England been to Clovelly a few times as a child might have to revisit.

I lived in North Devon for some years and this place is out of time and beautiful.

I have been - I feel like it's changed a bit since I went (although I was a child at the time). I don't think you paid to enter then.

Good day Ladies I live in north Devon not to far from Clovelly and have been several times. If you ever make the trip there may I draw your attention to a little shed/ shop about half way down the main walk, there was a man who was selling mackerel baps, lovely fresh plump smoked fillets in a fresh bread roll, making my mouth water writing this. On more than one occasion I have had one on the way down to the pub and another on the way back. Bootiful, I also remember having to hold on to the wall on the way back up thinking it was the steep climb but it also have had something to do with the visit to the pub. Great post by the way, thank you.

Dartmoor is 50 square miles of beautiful Devon. We currently live on the edges of the National Park. Not many of these videos mention it.

the village of Bridgnorth in Shropshire is beautiful lots of history, its like 2 villages in 1 low town on one side of the river Severn and if you use the vernacular to reach high town on the other side of the river.x

Absolutely loved Clovelly. Walked there along the coast and stayed overnight before walking on. It was so peaceful after tourists left. Lots of cats and locals in the pub and fishing. It was a memorable evening.

They used to let people ride up and down the main street on donkeys , but in the late 60s the RSPCA managed to put a stop to this as it was not very good for the donkeys

Fantastic video as always...❤. Still would like to see a Norwich city walkabout video 😉

Lovely ladies , went to Clovelly when I was 14 , I was a bit puffed at the top of the hill , now at 77 I would definitely need the Land rover to get back up . One correction I would make to the narrative, it's the West of England but Clovelly is located on the North coast of Devon . Great video .🇬🇧

Funny story.. my parents when they were dating were en route to Cannock Chase in the midlands and ended up in Clovelly, they’ve both now passed but they never made it to Cannock Chase in their 40 years of marriage but they often went back to Clovelly!!

If you come to the uk visit here I came years ago with my kids and its not changed its stunning its like you've gone back in time

I really do enjoy your videos and you seem to take no notice of the trolls. If you do ever come here then parts of the South West is a must to visit, the counties of Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Cornwall all have great countryside, some rolling hills, moors, old towns and quaint villages, stunning rugged coastlines, fishing villages, bays and beaches i'm sure you would loved it. You might like to check out the new forest national park in Hampshire in the future.

I've been, it's lovely also suggest Lynmouth in devon. I'm off to bourton on the water today in cotswolds, also lovely

I've visited Clovelly several times, and if my memory serves me correctly, the cobbled road going into Clovelly was named 'Down-along' and when you left the village by the same road it was named 'Up-along'.

Been twice lovely place the walk back up hill is a killer on your legs

Wonderful to see you have found Clovelly, in the video when they're looking from the top of the hill over the cove if you across the water, you see the hill in the distance, I live in a village on the other side of the hill. I am really glad you're enjoying Devon 😊❤ love watching you discover the UK ❤

Be horrified if someone didn't like Clovelly

You are two lovely ladies, Love from the U.K

When I have visited Clovelly it has always been sunny and even so much better in real life. Lovely going down, but hell going back up.

Of course they'd let you live there, nice people = nice people, no matter about anything else. Down somebody mentioned Lynton & Lynmouth, I agree, it's a gorgeous place for you to see. I also recommend Brixham, Torbay for you to see ;-)

Hey, i went there about 3 years ago and it looks even more beautiful in the sun/summer

Hi ladies I went to Clovelly many years ago and have always had gone memories of the village. I could suggest you might like to look at Mousehole pronounced Mouzel in Cornwall, Staithes pronounced Steers in Yorkshire, or Portmerion in North Wales.

I visit Clovelly every time i visit North Devon. My mum lives nearby, and i just love it there. Love your reactions keep up the good work

I watch a RU-vid channel i think you both may like its called “Let’s Walk” he does narrated walks of historic towns and cities with lots of interesting information mainly in the UK but also some European places.

Chichester is pronounced [CHICH] + [UH] + [STUH]. The 'Chi' is the same as it's pronounced in chicken. I live in Chichester. Love your videos! Big fan!

I visited Devon and Cornwall onve. Clovelly was one of the highlights of the holiday. Although some way away Bath is also well worth a visit.

Do you understand that that plaque is a museum quality article and you’ve got one! Congrats girls look after it! Those tea towels are copies of the old British rail adverts at stations in the maybe 30s maybe trying get more people to travel to holiday places.

Hey girls! Places on a par: Lynton and Lynmouth (one above the other, also in Devon), Porlock (Somerset), St Mawes (Cornwall), Charlestown (Cornwall). And so many more. Google those above, and you’ll see what I mean. They’re as good as the photos make them look.

I visited Clovelly many moons ago as a child, lovely place. My home town is just outside the square marked on your OS map!

Clovelly is Love-elly! Each time we go down to Devon we have to call in at Clovelly. First visit on Honeymoon, Then with the children then with the Grandchildren. The second time we went they were filming "The Buccaneer" a pirate film starring Oliver Tobias (RIP). They had a pirate ship tied up in the harbour.😍😍😍

A pint of Doombar and a pasty from the Red Lion sat on the harbour wall is quite simply a bit of heaven .. ❤

Ladies your genuine joy at just about anything British is beyond compare. There will always a place here for you should you choose to come visit. And if you don’t there are many Brits here that get such happiness from seeing your joy in your shows.

Absolutely beautiful place, thank you for the video, brilliant gifts too, especially from Christopher :-)

I remember visiting this delightful village with its precipitously steep pathway all the way down to sea level - and up again! My main memory, after appreciating the breath-taking scenery, was when my ex-wife and I had toiled determinedly back up to the car park high above and saw a group of white-haired elderly ladies about to go down. One of them saw the very gentle slope of the pathway from the car park down to the top of the path down into the village and observed ‘Ooh, it’s quite steep, isn’t it?’ I was put in mind of Al Jolson but refrained from saying ‘You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!’

When I stayed in the village I got talking in the pub one evening and asked what happens if you happen to die there. They said that a coffin is strapped to a sled which is lowered to the house where the deceased is, the body is then placed in the coffin which is lowered on the sled to the harbour (usually once the village has closed for the day so as not to cause distress) where its loaded into the hearse and driven to the funeral home.

We used to take our children there every year from 1981 through 1996 my children are now 42 and 40 and we still talk about our holidays in north Devon. Clovelly was free when we used to go there but it's one of the quaintest villages in the UK.

WOW DIDNT NO PLACES LIKE THIS IS HERE STILL😍

We were there while holidaying some 45 years ago, AND the donkeys were still used then, and for transporting the more elderly tourists who couldn't manage the steep passageways and lanes. I doubt I could do it today, the climb back is so very STEEP! A pretty little place and especially so out of season. Free to access the village in those days and just park the car at the top where you might.

Wow! How did I not know about this place?! I know where I’m going in the summer! 😍

Look at Beer in Devon, it's gorgeous....well everywhere in the South West is gorgeous

I haven't actually visited Clovelly but have been nearby its now on my to do list, beautiful. I have been to Lynton and Lynmouth which others are recommending which is also beautiful.

I recommend it, it’s my favourite place in the world, I have family there so visit often and will be there again very soon, can’t wait

I was lucky enough to visit this place a few years back and it was as stunning as you think it is, well worth the money to go visit and take in this piece of British history. Along the beach where the little girl got the pebble you can find a nice little waterfall.

Just checked the prices for the NEW INN HOTEL in Clovelly. It's £120 ($149) per night ,per room at the moment. BRID LING TON...just as it's written.🥰
