Brits after a tranquil autumnal retreat may want to keep one Devonshire village in mind.
The seaside village of Clovelly, with its picturesque cobbled streets and quaint harbour, may be the perfect place for UK holidaymakers to kick back and forget about the hustle and bustle of the everyday.
A recent visitor even likened the coastal settlement to a Greek island.
Social media content creator storky_adventures revealed why she ranked Clovelly as one of the prettiest locations in the country.
“The prettiest village in North Devon UK…” the traveller said. “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.
“It had a kinda Greece-feel to it with the cobbled streets, bright white houses and hanging flower baskets overlooking turquoise oceans… and the donkeys”, she added.
“Views were stunning and so was the cream tea. It’s on a steep cliff so be prepared for a bit of a walk and don’t be like me and wear flip-flops.”
“You also have to pay to enter the village as it’s a privately owned estate and parking is included in that.
“There seems to be a handful of holiday accommodations which I wouldn’t mind checking out as I want to go back ASAP. I went on a weekday but I imagine it gets very busy on [weekends].”
Clovelly’s official site confirmed the charge on visitors planning a stay there.
The local council heavily relies on these entrance fees for the essential maintenance “and upkeep that comes with an ancient village perched on 400ft clip, with no vehicular access”, it claimed.
