Clovelly Village

WoW, such a beautiful place, very steep hill, lovely views can’t recommend this place enough. Glad of the lift back up.

What an amazing place. So beautiful and well looked after. The scenery is spectacular. It’s a long walk down and I was quite nervous about the return journey (there is an option to get a Land Rover if you can’t face it).

Walking up is actually a lot easier than expected. We didn’t stop on the way down so had plenty of things to stop and peruse on the way back up, including an obligatory stop for a cream tea at The New Inn….. it was well deserved (and sooooo delicious – great portion). I would definitely recommend giving this place a go. Even if you do end up taking the easy way back up.

Interesting place, clean air, fresh seafood, great place to walk, explore and spend the day………

Clovelly is as pretty and quaint as you could imagine a coastal village to be. There is a large car park at the top of the cliffs and you have to pay £7.50 to enter the village and it is a steep walk to the bottom along cobbled streets and steps (wear sensible shoes!). Both downhill and uphill walks are fairly tough, so if you are overweight or unfit, think twice before doing it. The cottages along the way are beautiful and there are at least two pubs and two tea rooms on route. It is definitely one of those tick box places that must be visited.

Although this village is pretty touristy it really is a place one should visit. You have to pay to go in which seems a little peculiar but it really is a spectacular (if steep ) walk down to the sea. There are a few interesting historical buildings on the way down, plenty of opportunities for cream teas/ice creams and drinks and photo stops galore

Nothing prepared me for the beauty of this place. I am absolutely bowled over.
It’s like stepping back in time into a long gone era.
With proper cobbled streets and beautiful whitewashed cottages. The paths lead down to the small harbour.
The steps are quite steep and bit hard on your knees, there is transport up and down if required but you would miss so much,
I really recommend this place. There are eating places and pubs so lunch is no problem. Fisherman’s cottage worth a look at too.

This is a real must to see! But very steep and rough steps. The village is so beautiful and picturesque. There are a few places to get food and drink but will get very busy at peak season. We saw many people with walking difficulties walking down. When at the bottom there is a car that can take you back up (for a fee). You can go by car both ways but you will miss the sights. Definitely and must see.
