The Cabin forms a significant component of the Clovelly landscape. Its slated roof is in poor condition. The floor of the shelter, which is constructed of stone slabs laid in a crazy-paving fashion also needs consolidating. Considered very suitable for grant aid under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
