"Discover the timeless village of clovelly, where the steep, cobbled street tumbles down past gleaming white cottages to the tiny, deep blue harbour..."
The street is too steep for vehicles so for centuries donkeys were the main form of transport. Although they are no longer used for heavy loads, Clovelly still has its resident donkeys and children can enjoy rides in the summer. All goods in the village are now transported by sledge - from groceries to furniture and building materials!
Plenty to do... coastal walks, fishing trips, look inside the fisherman's cottage and see how the family lived in the 1930's, refreshments in the New Inn or Cottage Tea Rooms.
