Clovelly

Season 1 Episode 6

Archaeologist Ben Robinson examines the history of Clovelly in Devon, looking at its transformation from fishing harbour to romantic Victorian seaside resort. Thanks to a powerful and pioneering woman, Clovelly found itself at the forefront of the holiday revolution, and even today cars are banned and the village is privately owned, helping to preserve it as a reminder of a bygone age

Villages by the Sea airs on BBC Two Wales HD at 4:45 PM, Monday 23 September. (Subtitles, repeat.)
