Clovelly is the perfect destination for a dreamlike rustic wedding day; ideal for any couples seeking something a little out of the ordinary. The beautiful village is completely pedestrianised, so allow no cars, and has two hotel venues suitable for your celebrations.

The picturesque estate is situated on the edge of a cliff, which offers the ideal backdrop for stunning photograph opportunities just after you have tied the knot! Whether it be the donkeys and sledges which are used to transport goods and people or the fairytale-esque setting of the venue; it is certain that, at Clovelly, you will feel worlds away from everyday life.

History

The Domesday Book supposed the village to be owned by the King, but it is known that in 1242 Clovelly was acquired by the Giffard family. It has since been owned by the Queen of England and has subsequently been under private ownership of just three families. It has connections with authors; Charles Kingsley lived there, Charles Dickens wrote about the village and it was included in Rex Whistler's work. After a walk around the stunning scenery, it's easy to see why it has inspired so many!
