16th century fishermen's cottages tumble down a single, cobbled street, set in the thick woods cramming a ravine cut into the sheer cliffs overlooking Bideford Bay. These white-washed houses hug a lane that falls 122m in just 0.8km to the stone quay. The main street, called Up Along or Down Along, depending on which way you are going, is too steep for wheeled traffic: donkeys and sledges do the carrying.
