Clovelly, Devon · Travel Poster

Each poster comes with a letter home. Ella writes about the place and its hidden history, and the details that never makes it into the guidebooks.

Clovelly's cobbled main street drops so steeply down its hillside to the harbour that cars have never been allowed on it, not once, since the village was built. Everything still gets moved the way it always has, by sledge, hauled up and down the slope by hand or by donkey, past whitewashed cottages that tumble almost on top of each other toward the sea. It's a genuinely privately owned village too, still belonging to the same family estate that has run it for generations.

This poster is an original illustration in watercolour and ink, painted exclusively for the Ella's Adventures travel poster series.
