Clovelly Waterfall, Coastal waterfall in Clovelly, England.
The waterfall flows down steep cliffs into a rocky cove, creating a natural cascade that meets the pebbly beach of North Devon's coastline.
The waterfall stands near ancient smugglers' caves that were used during the 18th century when Clovelly operated as a strategic point for maritime trade.
Local fishermen traditionally used the waterfall's location as a navigation marker when returning to Clovelly's harbor after their maritime expeditions.
Access requires a descent through cobbled streets and careful navigation over large pebbles, with the return journey taking approximately 2-3 hours.
The water stream disappears into the beach pebbles instead of forming a pool, creating an unusual natural phenomenon at the base of the falls.
