We hiked this stretch of 18 km at a petty slow pace. It was warm and the sun was out for much of the day. We had our lunches down by the ocean at Buck's mills near an old lime kiln. Much of the first half was up and down with the path grown in so that our legs got scratched by grass and brambles. There may have been some stinging nettles in there too. The second half was more level and followed a 19th century carriage-way called the Hobby Drive. Clovelly is basically a row of white buildings on either side of a narrow steep lane cobbled with little round stones standing on edge. The street is very steep. Supplies are sledded down the street on sledges by people. There are also donkeys here, but they seem to be just used for rides for tourists. There are no cars here in town. Our suitcases made it to the hotel by the sled method! We're now pitched in a nice room across from the New Inn and restaurant. We had drinks when we arrived because we were hot and tired. Just came back from dinner - food was good. Having coffee in our room - we're getting used to Nescafé instant decaf 😀Read more
