The cobbled lanes and colourful fishermen's cottages of the historic village of Clovelly, just 13 kilometres away, are ideal for a leisurely afternoon wander through this remarkable clifftop settlement. This picturesque Devon village, where cars are banned and donkeys once carried goods down the steep cobbled street, feels frozen in time with its whitewashed cottages cascading down to a tiny harbour. Meanwhile, Okehampton is a 37-kilometre drive inland and serves as a bustling market town perched on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. This charming town offers excellent shops, traditional pubs, and serves as a wonderful gateway to moorland adventures, with ancient tors, wild ponies, and endless walking trails stretching across the dramatic granite landscape of England's last great wilderness.
