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 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.”
Don’t miss… [NEXT UP] [WOW]
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.”
