North Hill, Clovelly, Devon

A man leading a donkey down the steep cobbled street of North Hill. A young girl in a bonnet is sitting in the doorway of a whitewashed stone building. Donkeys were used to deliver goods to the shops and houses as the roads are too steep for any other type of transport. Clovelley was originally a fishing village. In 2011 it is a tourist attraction and people have to pay to enter the village.
