Clovelly BeachWhen it comes to walking to a beach, the stroll from Clovelly village down to its beach is probably one of the country’s best! Make your way down to the harbour between brightly coloured historic cottages and along the pedestrianised cobbled streets to discover the small beach below. A waterfall tumbles down to the beach from the cliffs above, and the shingle beach is one of the best spots in the village for views. Dogs are welcome on Clovelly beach throughout the year, and it offers parking, safe swimming and refreshments. Due to the steep descent to the beach, disabled access may be difficult.

Bucks Mill BeachJust along the coast from Clovelly lies Bucks Mill Beach. Bucks Mill Beach is the quieter Clovelly beach as it’s quite rocky, but it’s fantastic for admiring the views of Bideford Bay, and on a clear day you can even see Lundy Island! The beach is also a popular one with fishermen and anglers, and the secluded feel of the cove adds to its charm. A steep path leads down to the beach so access can be limited. The nearby village of Bucks Mills has an intriguing history and its two former lime kilns can still be seen.
