Today we moved from Littleham to Newquay. On the way we visited Clovelly, a little village notable for the fact that it is closed to vehicles. All visitor access is through a large "Visitor Centre" at the top of the cliffs where you park and buy a ticket to enter the village! It did not open until 9:30, so we were the first in. The main street is just a steep stony path, with very uneven smooth stone cobbling, which became quite slippery in the wet. The absence of roads and cars, and people - I think most residents were still asleep - made the place amazingly quiet and peaceful.

| The road is steep, uneven, and (when wet) slippery. |
