Clovelly is a unique village in north Devon, its cobbled high street so steep that donkey-harnessed sleds were used to transport goods from the small harbour. Keep careful hold of your icecream.
The Book
About
During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote a sea kayaking guide to the South West of England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. I have used this blog to keep folk updated as to my progress and to reveal some of the wonderful scenery, culture and wildlife of this little corner of England.

Don’t try driving to Clovelly, you have to park at the top of the village, which is fair enough, but you’re then forced to take a very expensive bus ride.
There was no option to walk in!
My book has a few strong words about the top of the village …

I shall go and read the relevant section.
So far I’ve concentrated on the Dorset and South Devon sections of your book.
By the way your book has motivated me to join my local clubs trip to Old Harry Rocks.
I assume people live in Clovelly? They have to go through a theme park to get to their homes?
