Clovelly is a privately owned village that has been preserved as it was in the mid 1800s, and there are no cars. The dates on the houses are when they were restored
First we walked along the coast path on the cliffs to Angel Wings
and Gallantry Bower
Looking inland
Then we went to Clovelly Court Gardens
Victorian glass houses
A good crop of apples and pears
The church is next door to the gardens. It dates from the 12th century
It is 400ft down the very steep cobbled High Street to the harbour. Sledges are used for transporting things, as it is too steep for cars
This is the top of the cobbled main street. Donkeys were once used for transport, but now only children can have rides
The chapel was opened in 1948 for those who could not walk up the hill to the church
In the Fisherman’s cottage is life in the 1930s
Two cottages have carvings from Oberammergau in Germany
The tide was out, so the boats were high and dry in the small harbour
The beach has huge pebbles
At the end of the beach is a waterfall
The tide has come in
Next: Hartland Abbey
