Beaches, Harbours & Coves
Clovelly Village and Harbour
Discover the timeless village of Clovelly, where the steep cobbled street tumbles down past gleaming white cottages to the tiny, deep blue harbour where smugglers used to moor their boats. The walk down through Clovelly to the harbour is fascinating, however it is steep and cobbled, but you can ride back up to the top in the Land Rover after having a meal or a drink in the hotel on the quayside. The infirm can also go down in the Land Rover by arrangement – and meet up with you in the harbour.
