scenery has been captured by artists for its richness of colour, especially in
the separately accessed and separated Clovelly Court and along
The Hobby, a road cut through the
woods and overlooking the sea. The South West Coast Path National Trail runs
from the top of the village and the section from Clovelly to Hartland Quay is
particularly spectacular.
The village has one public house and one
hotel
