After leaving Donna's house, we drove a short distance to Clovelly. Our first stop was Clovelly Court Gardens, a classic example of a Victorian kitchen walled garden.
I was very much taken in by the beauty of these gardens. It was like stepping back in time.
Enjoy the tour...
Can you see the sea in the distance?
Although the photos give you an idea of what to expect, you have to be there to experience the atmosphere. Alan and I couldn't believe how lucky we were to have the gardens to ourselves. Probably because it was the end of the day, the gardens closed 40 minutes after we left.
My next post will be about our steep walk downhill into Clovelly Village.
A bientôt!

Oh the walk down into Clovelly village - my legs ache at the memory. Worth it for the pasties by the harbour though.
Beautiful garden and photographs, it looks so peaceful.
oh, it certainly is lovely there...thank you for taking us along for a tour:) now, i am going back to look at your gorgeous sofa again!!!
What a fabulous post and gorgeous pictures. I would love to go there! Perhaps one day!
I thought your photos captured the spirit of the place beautifully! I shall look forward to the Clovelly village ones.I remember that long walk on the cobbles!

Hi Isabelle!
Gorgeous gardens! I LOVE that blue door set in the stone....scrumptious!
Thanks for bringing us along!
:)
Isabelle, how enchanting. I'd love to roam there for days with a book in hand. Thank you for posting these. I love the house as well. It reminds me of a slightly grander version of my Grandmother's house in the midlands. Hope your week is a happy one. xx
It looks absolutely gorgeous. I;ve never been, but from what I've seen I'd love to. Thank you for sharing, Karen x
What great value for money, for such a fantastic place!
We went to Clovelly a couple of years ago, but didn't do the court gardens - I wish we had now.
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely photos and what a great place to visit thanks for sharing
Oh Isabelle how funny we did the same thing after Donna's! We spent a wonderful day wandering down the steep hill and on the harbourside..so beautiful! Donna said it was very Enid Blyton and it certainly was!
Thanks for guiding, Isabelle !
You've taken gorgeous photos, these gardens are so beautiful !
Best wishes,
Sylvia
Those photos are so beautiful! I love that place. I do hope to get there some day!!! I love the flowers. The building are so wonderful. Well, it is all fabulous.
Hi Isabelle,
Such a beautiful garden you visited! I have been scrolling through your pictures several times. Wish I had a garden like that so close to the sea. I especially like the last photo. Now I am going to read your other post, seem to have missed that one!
Happy thursday!
Lieve groet, Madelief
It's really a lovely place! It's was a beatiful walk!!!
Thank you very much to share your photos with us!
See you again!!!!
Wonderful pictures, how pretty the Spring gardens are at this time of year. £2.00 entry is a real bargain and how lucky you were to have them to yourselves.
My mum loves Clovelly, although there's no way she could walk up that hill now. I think I've been once. Nice photos. xx
Hello!
I loved your photos!
So beautiful!
I hope your weekend be nice!
many hugs from me!
Kathrine

Beautiful photos, they really capture the beauty of the place. Next time you come I shall send you to Hartland Abbey, just a few miles further on x
Happy weekend to you,
Cecilia
These gardens looks absolutely gorgeous, thanks for the tour Isabelle! I wish you a great weekend! Kind Regards, Jorunn
Hi Isabelle
What beautiful photographs - I would love an original Victorian greenhouse like the ones in your pictures - looks a lovely peaceful place to visit in the most wonderful countryside.
Love
Jo xx
PS Have a great weekend x
Bonsoir Isabelle, this is close to paradise, at least on your gorgeous photos! I would love to go there one day. Blogging means extending your bucket list every moment! Your French sofa from the previous post is absolutely stunning! As the penalty sign in the post before that. I remember Donna's house from a post last year, it still is so beautiful, like walking in a dream I suppose. Have a lovely weekend!
Gosh Isabelle, how lovely they are!
I didn't even know they were there. The green house is amazing, it all is, I have to go there!
