Sunday's 3ma11 drive will be a tour of North Devon driving through both
Dartmoor and
Exmoor National parks. We'll leave Kingsteignton travelling north on the B3193 and skim the north-eastern side of Dartmoor National Park on the B3217 heading for
Clovelly, "
The World's Most Famous Village". Unusually, the village is privately owned and has been by the same family since 1738. It is not accessible by car so if we want to visit the village we'll have to park at the visitor centre and enter the village on foot. But be warned: the village's cobbled main street is extremely steep with a 120 metre descend to the harbour so only the very fit (or those with a donkey
) can return
From Clovelly we'll take the A39 and head to
Barnstaple where we'll take the B3230 to
Ilfracombe and our lunchtime stop for the day.
After lunch we'll follow the coastal route onto the A39 and into Exmoor National Park heading for
Lynmouth. We then head south through Exmoor National Park on the B3232 and back to Kingsteignton.
