Details of Clovelly

Clovelly, Devon

This picture-postcard fishing village clings to a steep hillside on the North Devon coast. Its colourful, flower strewn cottages line the main stepped, cobbled street on such a steep incline that you can almost see down the chimney of the cottage below! Visitors to Clovelly manage the steep cobbled streets to the harbour on foot. The only other form of transport are sledges, which are used to deliver weekly supplies. From the sheltered harbour there is a wonderful view of Clovelly's pretty white cottages. In the village you will find the New Inn and the Fisherman's Museum and Charles Kingsley Exhibition.

Clovelly was one of the locations featured in 1999's Mrs. Bradley Mysteries: The Worsted Viper. Diana Rigg in a lavish murder-mystery story set in the 1920's.

Twinned with Cesny-Bois-Halbout, France
