“The village once owned by England’s first queen” – BBC Travel

We are extremely grateful with the BBC’s Travel section for writing their article, “The village once owned by England’s first queen”, where they describe the beauty of living in Clovelly. “One of the UK’s only privately owned villages, picturesque, pedestrian-only Clovelly has inspired numerous artists and writers, from JMW Turner to Charles Dickens.” The article explains the history of our village and the reason behind the entrance fee, as well as some other curiosities that make Clovelly such a special place!

Clovelly Christmas Lights – Sunday 3rd December

The Christmas lights turn on is a magical time in Clovelly. Starting at 4 pm in the afternoon, a local brass band leads the procession down to the harbour, with festive Christmas carols sung along the way.

There’ll be a hog roast, hot dogs, Christmas grog and other refreshments available at the Harbour and Lifeboat Station. Then, Father Christmas will make a surprise visit!

Entrance fee:  £10 per car at the Visitor Centre after 2 pm. All proceeds will go to the R.N.L.I.
