We were a bit disappointed with The Village Inn where we stayed last night as it was without character - but nowhere near as disappointed as we were when they tried to charge us £10 for 2 half-full flasks of tea!!
The walk today was a big contrast from our last 3 days, which have mostly been on old railway track and fairly flat. Today was very, very muddy and lots of slipping and sliding up and down steep hillsides, in and out of woodlands and thickets. The rain kept off but is forecast for tomorrow.
Clovelly is a wonderful old fishing hamlet with steep, narrow cobbled streets and small harbour. Our hotel is ancient but full of character.
Our bags had to come down to the hotel on a wooden sledge - and will have to go back up the slope the same way in the morning - glad I'm not pulling!!
Julia was tempted by the local lobster on the menu at the Red Lion hotel/pub on the quayside, but decided she would wait.... (afternote - she never did get her lobster as it was not on the menu anywhere else!)
