    North Bovey on BBC Countryfile

    We are pleased to welcome a small BBC film crew to the village on friday morning, to capture a couple of landscape shots for Countryfile as part of a larger Devon piece. They may be in the village from 8:15-11am, but may be much quicker if they get the shots they need first time – hopefully the weather will cooperate! The South Devon programme will be shown on Sunday 8th May.

    Helicopter trips over North Bovey??

    This is a personal message, not official in any way, but quite a few people will not even have been informed.  Some, but not all of us, received this cursory email from Bovey Castle yesterday afternoon. Good afternoon, Please accept this email as notification there will be helicopter flights throughout the day on Saturday, and again Sunday morning this coming weekend (16th/17th) from Bovey Castle. These are all subject to the weather. Kind regards The Bovey Castle Resort Team I, for one answered immediately with fury at their arrogance, thoughtlessness and  did so rather incoherently. Since then, several people have expressed their anger in different but equally outraged ways. I you feel the same, please tell…
