Lymouth sits in a gorge at the meeting point of the East and West Lyn Rivers as they flow into the sea on the north coast of spectacular Exmoor National Park. Midway between Ilfracombe and Minehead, the village sits on a beautiful stretch of coastline, backed by the lush woodland and the rolling, heather-clad hills of Exmoor. Inhabited since Mesolithic times, the area has archaeological evidence indicating both Roman and Norman settlements. It has been extensively mined for iron for hundreds of years and has always been used for agriculture. Today, visitors come to walk and enjoy the beautiful countryside, dotted with picturesque villages, and to enjoy the stunning coastline.
Pretty Lynmouth is a delight, with a beautiful shingle bay backed by spectacular green cliffs, and a charming harbour – the perfect spot for a leisurely pub lunch. At the top of the gorge high above Lynmouth is the village of Lynton. To reach it, guests can take the unique water-powered funicular railway that carries passengers up the steep, 700-foot cliff to the top. Operating since 1888, the railway is a masterpiece of Victorian engineering and one of only three completely water-powered funiculars in the world. Take in the fabulous views of Lynmouth’s sweeping bay on the way up before enjoying a cream tea in the clifftop café at the top. Take a stroll around Lynton’s pretty cobbled streets and explore the array of interesting and quirky galleries, craft and gift shops. Don’t miss Lynton’s Town Hall – an impressive building in an unusual mix of architectural styles – part mock Tudor, part mock-Gothic – which was opened by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1800.
Beyond the village, the stunning countryside awaits those who love walking. Known as England’s Little Switzerland, the nickname is well-suited to this region of almost alpine-like hills that surrounds Lynmouth and Lynton. Head to Watersmeet, the National Trust property just outside the village, where the East Lyn River and Hoar Oak Water meet in a dramatic and spectacular gorge. Walk the path that follows the river through beautiful ancient woodlands and admire the cascading waterfalls before enjoying a cup of tea in the picturesque Watersmeet House café.
