Historical information about this webcam when live
Clovelly used to be a fishing village and in 1901 had a population of just 621. The village is a cluster of largely wattle and daub cottages on the sides of a rocky cleft. The steep main street descends 400 feet (120 m) to the pier, too steeply to allow wheeled traffic and so wooden Sledges are used for the movement of goods.
