Clovelly & Visitor Centre
The cobbled, traffic-free, high street of this world famous
fishing village, built into a cleft in a 400' high cliff,
tumbles its way down past whitewashed cottages festooned
with flowers to the tiny working port.
It is famous for its donkeys,
which traditionally carry goods up the hill; sledges bring
things down. There are links with Charles Kingsley, Turner,
Dickens and the Spanish Armada. |

Hartland Abbey
Hartland Abbey is the lived-in family home of the Stucley
family. Although it was built in the 12th century, remaining
as a monastery for 400 years and passing through the female
line three times, it has never been sold. Consequently, it
contains collections of pictures, furniture and porcelain
which have accumulated over many generations. The story of
the Abbey mirrors local and national history at every turn.
It has a friendly and lived-in atmosphere, so often absent
in many of our nation’s historic houses, a point continually
remarked upon by those who visit us too!! |
