Clovelly village remains a fully functioning working village, clinging to a 400 foot cliff, overlooking Bideford Bay. It has no vehicular traffic on its steeply cobbled street, just donkeys and sledges. Take a walk along the beach to the waterfall, but make sure you go when the tide is out!

Sandymouth sits along a stretch of coast between Bude and Morwenstow, one of Cornwall’s wild and dramatic corners with a character all of its own.

Please note dogs are allowed off the lead all year round.

We are located close to the Tarka Trail, where you can pick it up at Great Torrington, which is a 5 mile drive from the farm. The Tarka Trail is a safe, traffic free trail and is popular with experienced cyclists and families alike.
