An old tradition in Clovelly, North Devon, to ward off the devil. All the children of the village make their way down the cobbled streets to the harbour, making as much noise as they can to scare the devil out of the houses and into the sea. When they get to the harbour the tins are cast into the waters.
Clovelly, Devon
On the north coast of Devon, the whitewashed houses in the quaint village of Clovelly cluster around a narrow cobblestoned pathway that descends steeply to a sheltered harbor . Unusually, the entire village has been privately owned by a single family since the 1730s, and this continuity has helped maintain the picturebook atmosphere of the village. Until fairly recently, pack donkeys delivered luggage down to the harborfront hotel, but now the hotel can be reached via a Land Rover service down a limited access back road. Tenants in the houses that line the central pathway, handle heavy deliveries (e.g., coal for the winter fires) on improvised sleds designed to slide down the cobblestones.
As can be seen from the tidemark on the lower harbor wall, Clovelly experiences a high tidal range ---- at low tide, the fishing boats are high and dry, and the seashore is a rocky jumble.

Clovelly - The Practical Traveller's guide to Clovelly Village in North Devon
#thepracticaltraveller #clovelly #clovellyvillage
• Clovelly Village in North Devon is a very special place and somewhere you must visit if you find yourself in this part of the world. Clovelly bay and harbour really are a wonderful sight to behold.
• The Clovelly estate has been home to the Rous family for over 400 years. From Elizabethan times until today, it has remained in private ownership and the village remains a fully functioning working fishing village.
• After you have parked your car, you head to the modern visitor’s centre. Clovelly is open every day of the year except Christmas day. Adults are £7.50 and Children are £4.50 with children under 7 and dogs going free. It’s worth noting that your admission price includes the parking. Clovelly advice that the cobble streets of the village are not suitable for wheelchairs, but there is a land rover service, for a small charge, that will take you down to the harbour and back again.
• Within the visitors centre there is a small cinema that will show you a short film all about the history of the village. It might be tempting to skip this but honestly don’t. It’s worth watching to get a real flavour of the village.
• The visitors centre has an extensive souvenir shop on two levels. Plus, as you leave the visitors centre, down the converted stable yard will find more artisan shops selling beautiful silks and pottery.
• Before you begin your decent, it’s work taking a moment to enjoy the view out to sea at the Mount Pleasant memorial. Known by the locals as Peace Park this is a beautiful place to have a picnic.
• Right the fun begins. Brace yourself for the Clovely steep hill, cobbled decent into the village. Take your time, there is no rush and remember to hold on to the sides if you feel unsteady. Clovelly will certainly give your legs a good workout.
• Unlike most villages, Clovelly has been closed to all vehicles since the 1920’s. The Clovelly Donkeys and sledges bring things in and out of the village.
• As you decent you will find quaint shops, two museums, The Kingsley Museum and the Fisherman’s Cottage both of which are well worth popping in to.
• There are also two hotels come pups in the village, the New Inn Hotel half way down and the Red Lion Hotel on the Harbour itself. Both offer accommodation as well as food and drink. If you fancy something a bit different there are several cafes selling locally caught crab sandwiches as well as other delicacies. They can cater for vegetarians but you might need to ring ahead if you are gluten free or vegan.
The windy lanes decent towards the 14th Century Quay and harbour. Well done if you have made it this far. The views will be worth it.
• Recently Clovelly has featured in the highly acclaimed film version of the book The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer.
• It’s amazing to think that parts of this village, quay and harbour has been here for over 600 years, relatively unchanged.
• So you now have two choices, you can either walk all the way back up, which is exactly what we did stopping for lunch on the way in a delightful café. Or you can catch the land rover from the other side of the Red Lion Hotel. This will take you back to the converted stable yard via a side road. There is fee for using the land rover.
• Be sure to check out the description for lots of link to useful places such as accommodation and food options.
• Thanks so much for watch, we hope you visit Sennen Cove soon and have a great time. Don’t forget to hit the subscribe button and the Practical Travellers will see you soon.

CLOVELLY, DEVON & A SURPRISE!
Last weekend I explored the cobbled streets of a the quaint, steep (!) North Devon village of Clovelly. No cars or motorbikes allowed in this scenic little hillside village, which means a unique access method for heavy goods and shopping!
Oh, and there's a surprise announcement at the end - keep watching! Also I know there wasn't a fourth point. I was just testing to see if you were watching closely :P

North Devon Coast - Clovelly, England - Tourist Attraction Highlights
Having spent a lot of my own childhood down in Clovelly, Devon throughout the summer months each year, I thought I'd put together a video highlighting just some of the breathtaking views that this and many villages a long the North Devon Coast have to offer.
I was stretched to what footage to include as over the past week (May 2013) this year I've captured some amazing sights. This will be one of a group of videos I post related to the village. I hope you enjoy it.
Recorded on a 600d, in May 2013.

Clovelly and the local Coastal path
Most of the buildings in Clovelly are 500 years old or more though they bear an inscription CH followed by a date in the early 20th Century. This is the date when they were restored to some extent.
Clovelly is on the North Devon coast overlooking Bideford bay and is a place my wife and I like to visit on occasions.

Cobbled lane to Clovelly
A pretty little village where cars are not allowed. Access to the village is a little cobbled lane 1 mile long. Locals use sleds to carry things in & out. Lovelly walk down but a hard slog back up, very steep!
Clovelly June 2012 Part One
My birthday was spent as usual, at Clovelly in North Devon. Though I love the place so much, the thought of our Hamster Angel was constantly on my mind. I kept hoping that when we returned home, that she would still be with us and I would get the opportunity to say cya to her. As you know, she did pass away on July 9th. We miss her so much, and call me a fool or whatever, it does not matter. She is with us always and forever. I hope that you enjoy the clips of Clovelly, and if you wish, I will post more of the tiny fisdhing village, at a later date.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this video.
