Captivating Clovelly

in #travel8 years ago (edited)


Clovelly High Street


Clovelly is one of the best known and most unusual villages in North Devon, England. It's also one of may favourite places to visit there.

You have to park at the top of the hill next to the Heritage Centre as no vehicles are allowed in the high street. Even the locals have to use other means to take their provisions down the hill. The favourite way is by sledge. You can see these parked at the side of the traditional 16th century whitewashed cottages.

The walk down to the harbour is half a mile with a 400 feet drop.

From there you can continue past the pub and up the tarmacked road. As you can imagine it is a very steep return and not for the faint hearted!

Thank you to @juliank and @photocontests for this daily photography contest.

You are kicking ass! Your daily payout is twice what it was a few weeks ago. I’m going to watch your dtube video as soon as I get home! I’ll send you a message on discord too

And you got @lloyddavis to upvote you, he was my first steemit crush

Ha, ha, ha! @lloyddavis, your first steemit crush. Hilarious! 😁

The main reason my payouts have doubled is because I was using upvotewhale, $1 per post recently. But I read an article saying that I was actually losing money by using them. Something to do with curation I was taking into account.

I don't understand it because, as you say, it looks good. Presumably I would have more SBD if I'd not used it even though the posts would have paid out less.

Anyway, I've stopped using it now and my predicted payouts have gone back down.

I was on a bit of a roll when I was using upvotewhale and felt like I was getting somewhere which inspired me to post. Now I've lost the impetus again.

As you can tell I'm in a poor me, whiny sort of phase. Not one I'm proud of but I'll sit it out and see what occurs. 😍

Devon looks amazing! I was already telling my hubby that we should stay in the UK for holidays and tour the south-west coast! I can't wait to see it all myself!

I agree it looks lovely, its definitely n my list of places to visit!

It's very beautiful @Rimicane. Especially if you can go outside the school holidays! Not too difficult to get to for you either. 😊

This would make a great bnw photo for one of the contest Gillian. lovely

Thanks @Sunscape. Funnily enough that crossed my mind when I put the photo up. I didn't really notice how black and white it was previously. I'll need to keep my eyes open for an appropriate one. 😊

I love these small British villages! I must have spent many previous lives there, because my heart immediately begins to sing when I look at your picture - it feels very familiar. Thank you! ❤️

Well that's nice. Thank you. I'm glad to be able to bring a little happiness into the world with my picture. 😍

This looks like a fun drunk town to live in.

Not sure I'd want to live there. It's tiny and full of tourists! 😁
