“The current owners have spent the last 10 years reclaiming the acre and a half site resulting in a most unusual space. Full of surprise it still retains some of the original tourist attraction, being a model village based on the Harbour and street of Clovelly in N.W. Cornwall. With stunning views of Lundy Island and the Welsh Coast on clear days.”
