People have been left stunned by this “quaint and dreamy” little town which “looks like Greece”.
We all need a break from the stresses of every day life now and again – whether its work stress, parenting, or feeling run down. And a mini break could be the ticket to helping you relax and rejuvenate.
While many of us like to venture abroad, the UK is home is plenty of beautiful spots that are worth travelling to instead. One travel lover was blown away after visiting a spot she has crowned as “the prettiest village in the UK”.
Lana, who travels around the UK while living in her van, urges people to take a trip to Clovelly in north Devon. Lana, better known as @storky_adventures online, shared: “I had a solo trip to this quaint and dreamy little place with the most picturesque scenery! It was like stepping back in time with no cars allowed and had a kind of a Greece feel to it with the cobbled streets, bright white houses, hanging flower baskets over looking a turquoise ocean.”
Lana also loved seeing donkeys at the top of the village, the stunning views, and tucking into a delicious afternoon tea. She noted that visiting the spot comes with a cost; you have to pay to enter the village as it has been privately owned since the Elizabethan days. Visitor fees cost around £8.75 per person.
Clovelly Court Gardens are a must see whilst visiting the famous village; you will find neat, carefully tended gardens and beautifully restored Victorian greenhouses. Visit the Kingley Museum or visit Mount Pleasant – the best picnic spot in the village.
There are also some lovely pubs, craft workshops to take park in as well shops with unique and handmade products. For beer fans, there is the Clovelly Brewery at the top of the beautiful village.
Lana warns that to get to the top and see all the amazing things that Clovelly has to offer, it is a bit of a walk. She said: “It’s on a steep cliff so be prepared for abit of a walk and don’t be like me and wear flip flops – which also broke so that was interesting on steep cobbled paths.”
Lana advises visiting the spot on a week day if you can, to avoid crowds. And others say they loved making the journey.
Commenting on Lana’s viral video, showing the village’s beauty, on individual said: “Beautiful Clovelly, worth the £9 per adult. Absolutely stunning the £9 ticket is valid for seven days so definitely worth it. Visited the garden too – bought a little plant.”
“I visited Clovelly some years ago, it’s lovely,” said another. “Been there, it’s lovely, honestly,” agreed another.
One Devon resident said: “Just moved to Devon and I can’t wait to visit these places.”
“Clovelly, prettiest village ever, been few times,” added another. And other wrote: “So beautiful, sometimes you would never think it’s in the UK.”
