    Great video! I grew up in North Devon, my family still lives there, so I go back home a lot. I worked at Saunton Sands hotel, the beach car park used to be free, so did Clovelly, and I used to work in Woolacombe's Narrocott Grand hotel back in the day... This video made me feel so homesick, as I have not been back much this last 18 months... I can't believe how lucky I was growing up here in the 60's and 70's! Well done on a great episode! Hocking's ice cream is the best! And Croyde used to host the surfing championships back in the day too!

    Good to see you back after all your tech problems 👍 We enjoyed seeing all the lovely beaches. Clovelly has changed a lot since we were last there - much more commercialised and more expensive to get in. Love to see you enjoy your food as much as we do 😊 Look forward to more of your Devon adventure. Take care ❤️

    When everyone finishes work the locals go to the beach. Next time park up in Welcombe, duck pool, sandy mouth bay and Crackington Haven. Carry on past Clovelly some are just past Hartland then carry on to Bude and the North Cornwall coast. Boscastle and Tintagel are beautiful for wild swimming as is all the prior ones recommended.

    we used to love going to woolacombe and saunton sands late 90's. because of the old rip off Britain, crazy priced crap b&b's and greedy holiday home landlord lets down there, we'd hire a transit van and just throw a double mattress in the bk. we'd actually get a far better more peaceful sleep in it than most of those crappy noisy b&b's ,.. plus no mad rush to check out early.
