Clovelly

Clovelly clings to a 400-foot cliff in North Devon and has no vehicular traffic on its steeply cobbled street, just donkeys and sledges. Visiting Clovelly is such a special experience. It is a beautifully picturesque fishing village, steeped in maritime atmosphere and history and was once owned by the Queen of England. Its flower-strewn cottages “tumble like a waterfall” down a cleft in the cliff to the ancient working port.  The breathtaking views, the traffic-free street unique with its donkeys and sledges and the working harbour with its 14th-century quay are scenes that everyone will capture as a treasured memory. The village has been closed to all mechanical vehicles since the 1920s. www.clovelly.co.uk     www.visitdevon.info
