Clovelly

It's been donkey's years since I visited Clovelly. I can confirm, it's still picture postcard pretty.

The man of the house who is from the NE said 'It's just like Staithes only more expensive'. Spoken like a true Yorkshireman :)

From a historical point of view, Clovelly had Charles Kingsley, author of The Water Babies and Staithes had Captain James Cook, the famous explorer.
