When you think of North Devon, you probably think of Clovelly. It’s one of the areas most iconic locations, having been used in multiple films, TV shows, and featuring all over every UK travel instagrammers page in the summer of 2020. It’s a very cute little privately-owned harbour village near Hartland, and the village charges a small entrance fee to enter as a visitor. It’s owned by the Clovelly Estate Company but has about 500-600 residents who live there, and every building apart from seven of them are listed.
The village has a super steep pedestrianised cobbled main street, traditional architecture, super cute donkeys, and breathtaking views over the ocean, and there are no motor vehicles allowed. There are a couple of cute cafes around halfway up the hill, and at the very bottom next to the harbour there’s the Red Lion Hotel. In the summer there’s honestly nothing better than grabbing a drink from there and sitting on the harbour wall in the sunshine with your drink and a bag of crisps!
