Flashbacks to 1997: Local transport in Clovelly
This was my final full-day in Britain. Dan has relatives in Wales and he was staying with them for a few more days, whereas I was to take the train from Cardiff Central back to London Victoria, before returning to Toronto the following day.
Cloevelly was the last planned stop enroute from St. Ives, Cornwall to Cardiff, Wales.
Partial and edited quote from Wikipedia:
Clovelly (/kləˈvɛli/) is a small village in the Torridge district of Devon, England. It has a harbour and is a tourist attraction notable for its steep pedestrianised cobbled main street, donkeys and views over the Bristol Channel. At the 2011 census, the parish population was 443, which was 50 fewer than ten years previously. The ward of Clovelly Bay includes the island of Lundy.
There is a road leading to the harbour but the village main street is not accessible by motor vehicle. The lack of vehicular access to the main street has led to deliveries being made by sledge. This is not done as a tourist attraction, but as a matter of practicality. Goods are delivered by being pulled down on a sledge from the upper car park.
