It is here that visitors start their unique experience of the private Clovelly estate. Modelled on a traditional Devon long barn, the award-winning Visitor Centre houses a cafe and souvenir shops so that the  village remains uncommercialised.

There is an entrance fee payable to the village that covers not only admission to the audio-visual programme and two museums but also your parking. A substantial part of the fee contributes to the ongoing maintenance programme at Clovelly which, by ensuring that slate is replaced with slate, and oak with oak, the village retains its original charm and magic.

Admission charges for 2010 from 1st April until 31st March 2011:

Adult:    £5.95
Child:    £3.75   (7-16)
Family: £15.90 (2 adults, 2 children)

- Under 7s go free     





One of the delights that Clovelly offers visitors is that of being a traffic-free village, which helps to maintain its tranquillity and peaceful way of life. With no vehicles allowed in the High Street, visitors park at the top of the hill adjacent to the Visitor Centre and enter the top of the village by walking down the cobbled streets.

For those who cannot manage the steep village street, a fare paying Land Rover service operates from Easter to the end of October, ferrying passengers from the harbour to the top of the cobbled street or the Visitor Centre by a steep back road. 

The service is free to our hotel residents
