Clovelly Beach Vacation Packages

Clovelly set into a steep hillside, is one of the most famous villages in the world.

Clovelly has a single cobbled high street winds its way down the hillside to the ancient Clovelly harbour, through traditional whitewashed cottages festooned with fuchsias and geraniums - the street dropping 400ft (half a mile) as it winds its way through Clovelly's 16th century cottages to the harbour.

Traffic is banned from the high street, visitors parking at the top of the hill adjacent to Clovelly Heritage Centre. For a small fee, a landrover service ferries visitors up and down the steep hill via a back road, to the harbourside Red Lion Public House.

The street of Clovelly are too steep for motor vehicles, hence why for centuries, donkeys were used for getting up and down the street. Donkeys still live at the the top of the hill where children can have a donkey ride in the summer.
