Omg I love you for showing this! This American loves all that kind of English stuff from back in the day. One day I will see it for myself. It is so cute. :)
Thanks for the vid mate, I love your journey vlog. I was in Plymouth once while in the Navy back in the seventies and always wanted to return for another visit. But you know how it is, life just gets in the way and all.
We don't have any old quaint villages like that. Back in the 1400s our locals weren't building such nice towns with brick and stone. It was a little more rustic here at that time. Now those locals don't build anything quaint at all, but instead they build casinos. Oh well, I guess us Yanks will have to continue coming over there to get our fill of quaint villages, castles and that "old Europe" we all love. Keep your eyes open for us on your roads, we're the ones driving down the middle...
@stealth1692 dude im from the us we just call them shoes or refer to them by the brand like "check out my new DCs" or "look at those new sketchers" or "do you think my shoes make my feet look fat?"
I love Devon I have some family and friends who live up there, it's great! Have you been to Totnes? That place always reminds me of Diagon Alley from Harry Potter!
I recall walking down a similar path in snowdon in the wet and going arse over tip, hurts a fair bit on those surfaces! Such a nice place though where you're at in this video, it look's so peaceful!
@Christopher80611 are you for real? The name is in the title of the video, it appears in the left of the video throughout it's entire 5 minute length and I mention the name of it about four times in the duration of the video.
@svengalie Say what you like Sven. Guys who have a problem with men using words like "cute" and "pretty" are often in denial and over-compensating against their hidden desires.
Hi, you have to update your gopro cam at gopro.com and set 25-50 frames (an new software tool for the cam) European instead 30-60 frames American standard and PAL, and believe me, you can much more easier rework and cut the movie with a European software and the quality of the pictures will be much more better in HD ;)
this town is like a fantasy village really quaint for us yanks friggen incredible fishing and just a great place to live the local think your a nutcase though thanks for posting this vid
It struck me as a little dark. Kinda' reminded me of the village of Cuba, NY, which is really really old and really tiny. But it's no place anyone with half a brain would want to live in. o.O
When I was there last I had my luggage transported using donkey's from the car park at the top but that service has stopped now but if your a lazy bum the parallel street had a LandRover service to take you up those slippery cobbles.
Sometimes every so often you plan a trip and at the end of it you come to somewhere that really is the perfect place the finish to the trip. This is one of those times, so I hope you look back and smile.
Duuuude!! you're in Devon? Come to South Devon! :) We don't charge ridiculous prices to enter our villages either :D (I have bitter memories of Clovelly and their daylight robbery - we thought free bike parking at the top was too good to be true hehe :P) Ride safe xx
devon is pretty cool.. went to solcombe(on the south coast of where you were) a couple months ago.. there''s a really good chili farm on the way there too.
Imagine those cobbles on a frosty morning!. I love old English villages. I spent part of my childhood in Helpston near Stamford. Thx for the little holiday Sven.
I'd never heard of Clovelly before, and I did some reading up on the place after watching your intro vid for this trip. Doesn't get much more quaint and picturesque than that! I wonder how many people have busted their butts slipping on those steep cobble lanes over the last 700 yrs? :)
That bloke didn't seem too impressed lol. Anyway... that is a beautiful place, the yanks do love that sort of stuff. Even though I live here in England I forget how much cool crap there is to see :-)
