Quay Pins and Buttons

Clovelly, North Devon, England Number of views as of 10th April 2018 = 600. A steep, cobbled street (originally built using pebbles from the beach and far too steep for motor vehicles) leads 'down-along' between white-painted cottages to the small harbour at Clovelly on the North Devon coast, one of my favourite places in Devon. The village has no individually-owned houses, the whole village being owned and maintained by a single family. Once a bustling fishing port, bringing in herring and mackerel, the Clovelly area was also rife with smuggling, wrecking and piracy. The quay dates from the 14th century and the Red Lion Inn (left) from the 18th. Date: 7th April 2010. Official Clovelly web site

Tenby Harbour Boats, Black And White A zoomed in photograph of Tenby Harbour Quay, showing all the beautiful houses that overlook this iconic harbour in South Wales, UK. Tenby (Welsh: Dinbych-y-pysgod, lit. 'fortlet of the fish') is both a walled seaside town in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on the western side of Carmarthen Bay, and a local government community. Notable features include 2+1⁄2 miles (4.0 km) of sandy beaches and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, the 13th century medieval town walls. With its strategic position on the far west coast of Britain, and a natural sheltered harbour from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea, Tenby was a natural settlement point, probably a hill fort with the mercantile nature of the settlement ...
