12. Leg 4  - SW Coastal Path 12: Clovelly to Westward Ho!

20 August 2018

Clovelly estate is home to the Rous family and has been for over 400 years. From Elizabethan times until today, it has remained in private ownership. We had plenty of miles to walk so we'll have to visit another time! https://www.clovelly.co.uk/ 

Peppercombe Valley also looks like a lovely place to explore.

This walk took us along the coast to Westward Ho! which we reached on our last trek in May. A variety of paths took us through woodland, down to a beach with huge pebbles and to quaint villages. Once we'd had a very welcome cup of tea in Westward Ho! we just had a few more miles to walk to Abbotsham to catch the bus back to Higher Clovelly, where we'd left the car.
