Artist's cottage by the sea

Clovelly is a old fishing village, dating back to the doomsday book, its pretty, stone and cob cottages alongside a steep cobbled street runs down to the harbour. The stone pier running out in a south-easterly direction protects the harbour from the severe Atlantic gales that frequent this coast from time to time.

The area on either side of the village on the coastal fringe are cliffs and woodland.

The Southwest coast path runs along the top of the village affording some delightful walks along the cliff tops and through the park and woods. Barnstaple with its ancient pannier market is an easy 19 mile drive away. And Bideford, 'the little white town on the hill' with its ancient stone bridge is 10 miles away.

To the south within easy reach for a day out are the are the resorts of Bude and Crackington Haven. Situated between Westward Ho! And Bude.
