Description

The Cabin is a cliffside shelter located in Clovelly Court Park, built in the early 19th century for Sir James Hamlyn as part of his enhancements to the park. It was rebuilt in 1903 by Christine Hamlyn. The structure is made of rubble stone and wood, topped with a Welsh-slated hipped roof. The plan is rectangular, providing an open shelter with wide views of the sea. The exterior features a back wall of random rubble and a hipped roof with a bellcast, supported at the front by four square-section wooden posts. Inside, the floor is made of stone setts, and the ceiling is decorated with rustic twigs arranged in a diaper pattern.

Local climate

The Cabin sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,100 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 6 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 2 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
