Scope and Content
The route book of Devon: a guide for the stranger and tourist. Exeter: Besley, 1846. pp. 56-7.This little fishing village, about eleven miles from Bideford, is in a most singular and picturesque situation, on the side of a steep rock adjoining the sea. It is one of the most romantic places in Devonshire, the houses being built upon the precipitous side of the cliff, one above the other, so that the street is actually a regular flight of steps. Clovelly is celebrated for its herring fishery; besides which large quantities of conger, whiting, hake, pollock, and cod fish are caught in the winter season. In the summer, several trawlers are employed in catching turbot, sole, plaice, gurnet, and mackerel, which are taken to the markets in the surrounding neighbourhood.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
