Clovelly Village, North Devon England (See description)
Clovelly Fishing Village, North Devon UK
This is a beautiful village in Devon very popular with tourists and so it should be. The history is amazing.
Clovelly is a small village in the Torridge district of Devon, England. It has a harbour and is notable for its steep pedestrianised cobbled main street, donkeys and views over the Bristol Channel. At the 2011 census, the parish population was 443, which was 50 fewer than ten years previously. The ward of Clovelly Bay includes the island of Lundy.
There is a village visitor centre which charges a fee for parking, entrance to two museums, Clovelly Court gardens, and an audiovisual guide to the village's history.
Unusually, the village is still privately owned and has been associated with only three families since the middle of the 13th century, nearly 800 years. The estate is run by the Clovelly Estate Company, led by the Hon. John Rous, a descendant of the Hamlyn family who have owned the village, estate and manor house Clovelly Court since 1738. John Rous is the eldest son of Keith Rous, the 5th Earl of Stradbroke and Mary Asquith, granddaughter of former Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith.The scenery has been captured by artists for its richness of colour, especially in the separately accessed and separated Clovelly Court and along The Hobby, a road cut through the woods and overlooking the sea. The South West Coast Path National Trail runs from the top of the village and the section from Clovelly to Hartland Quay is particularly spectacular.

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.
Actor Joss Ackland and his wife Rosemary bought a property in Higher Clovelly on the outskirts of the village in 1989.[11] Ackland still lives there but Rosemary died in 2002 and is buried in the grounds of their home.[12] Ackland has appeared in promotional videos for the town and has spoken often of his love of and connection to Clovelly.
Clovelly is also described by Charles Dickens in A Message from the Sea and was painted by Rex Whistler, whose cameos of the village were used on a china service by Wedgwood.
The sixteenth-century Carys of Clovelly feature in the historical novel The Grove of Eagles by Winston Graham.
The surgeon Campbell De Morgan (1811–1876), who first speculated that cancer arose locally and then spread more widely in the body, was born here.
Clovelly is mentioned in passing by Rudyard Kipling in Stalky & Co. as being located to the west of the boys' academy.
In Susan Coolidge's In the High Valley (1890), part of the Katy series, a walk into Clovelly is described: ... surely a more extraordinary thing in the way of a street does not exist in the known world. The little village is built on the sides of a crack in a tremendous cliff; the street is merely the bottom of the crack, into which the ingenuity of man has fitted a few stones, set slant-wise, with intersecting ridges on which the foot can catch as it goes slipping hopelessly down.
J.M.W. Turner's painting of Clovelly harbour around 1822 hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin.
On Sunday 28 October 1838 twelve fishing vessels with a total of twenty-six men on board left Clovelly harbour for the fishing grounds. Only one vessel and its crew ever returned after a ferocious storm in the Bristol Channel. This event led to the founding of the Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society early the following year with the object of:
giving relief and assistance to the widows and orphans of fishermen; and of mariners, members of the Society, who lose their lives by storms and shipwreck on any part of the coasts of the United Kingdom, while engaged in their lawful occupations; and also to render necessary assistance to such mariners, soldiers, or other poor persons as suffer shipwreck upon the said coasts.
The charity is active supporting the seafaring community suffering hardship and distress.

Clovelly, England
The picturesque, historic, fishing village of Clovelly is uniquely special in that it has no cars on its streets. Donkeys and sledges are the only form of transport along its cobbled ways. Its flower-strewn cottages tumble like a waterfall down a cleft in the 400' cliff to the tiny working port and C14th quay.
Its fascinating history, traditional crafts, two museums (Charles Kingsley and Fisherman's Cottage), glorious walks along the cliff tops or boat trips along the coast are a few of Clovelly's attractions while others lie hidden down tiny winding side alleys just waiting to be discovered
At the Visitor centre there are shops, a cafeteria and a fascinating introductory A/V film to the village.
The modest entry charge covers entry to the two museums, the A/V film, Clovelly Court Gardens and a contribution to the preservation of this very special private estate.

Views of cobbled streets, buildings, harbour and waterfall. Clovelly was the home of the writer Charles Kingsley inspiring him in his writing of Westward Ho! and The Water Babies. The village has been owned by one family (one of only three since the Norman Conquest).
