Clovelly, Devon
|
A picturesque, privately owned north Devon fishing village on The Hartland Peninsula. Built into the side of the steep, wooded coastline. As expected, exceptional views and coastal walks.
Owing to its extreme natural beauty and popularity, the entire village has been turned into a tourist attraction with the intention of keeping 'it in the style of the mid C19th'. There's plenty of parking up top, visitors are funneled through a visitor centre/shop/restaurant where you have to pay to access Clovelly. Can get a bit frustrating but be patient, it's worth it. Visitors descend a wide cobbled street with great views across Barnstaple or Bideford Bay. Take a camera, everyone seems to have one. The village itself is extraordinary, one of the finest we've visited in the UK. The cobbled street narrows and high on either side are idyllic houses. Unsurprisingly, there are many shops and places to eat and drink. At the bottom of the village, there's a classic West Country fishing harbour from which the views back up the hillside are magnificent. Things to do include: Kingsley Museum, Clovelly Court Gardens, Fisherman's Cottage and donkey rides too! We thoroughly recommend a visit but this is a seriously popular destination so be patient.
