Clovelly, Devonshire

Clovelly Clovelly is a lovely small village on the north coast of Devon. It is a privately owned village and a major tourist attraction notable for its extremely steep, car-free cobbled main street, donkeys and views over the Bristol Channel. The thick woodland which shelters the village allows many tender plants to flourish. The novelist Charles Kingsley lived here as a child from 1831 to 1836, while his father, Rev. Charles Kingsley served first as senior curate then as rector. Later, in 1855, his novel Westward Ho! did much to stimulate interest in Clovelly and to boost its tourist trade. (Read more)
