Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to Devon for a four-night stay.
Clovelly is one of the best known and most unusual villages in North Devon. The cobbled high street winds its way down the hillside, through traditional 16th century whitewashed cottages decked with fuchsias and geraniums, dropping 400ft down to the small harbour. Once integral to the daily lives of villagers, helping move sledges up and down the hill, the donkeys are now some of Clovelly's favourite residents and they enjoy a much more peaceful life now!
On your way back up, perhaps take a break at one of the pubs for fresh, local seafood or a cream tea, or you may prefer to take one of the local Land Rovers back to the top (extra charges payable locally, subject to availability).
Enjoy a day at leisure in Bideford, or why not join our optional excursion to Lynton and Lynmouth? These picturesque twin towns are located on the rugged Exmoor coastline, with bustling Lynmouth on the shore and clifftop Lynton offering superb views. The two are connected by the Cliff Railway, the highest and steepest fully water-powered railway in the world (extra charges payable locally).
with an extra experience
This morning we make a visit to Barnstaple. This thriving market town has a pedestrian centre with narrow streets and pretty alleys perfect for exploring the local shops. Later in the day we call at the Dartington Crystal Visitor Centre to see the skilled craft makers at work. Learn more about Dartington's glass making story in the Visitor Centre, before admiring the glass makers at work from the viewing areas and overhead walkways.
Return home.
*Clovelly is a very steep coastal village with cobbled streets. You can book a seat on the local Land Rover at the Visitor Centre to take you down to the harbour and back up (local charges apply) and this is subject to availability.
