Lynmouth - where Exmoor meets the sea.

Glorious Exmoor on the doorstep - ideal for walking, riding, sightseeing, fishing or simply exploring the dramatic coastline.
Wild goats and English cricket

Take the funicular cliff railway to the neighbouring village of Lynton - visit the Lyn Museum, explore Hollerday Hill and the famous Valley of The Rocks. The valley was formed during the ice age - towering rock formations with names such as 'The Devil's Cheesewring', and its centrepiece, 'Castle Rock'. It is reknowned for its resident herd of wild goats, and in the centre of the valley probably the most picturesque setting in England for a village cricket pitch !

Exploration for all the family

Lynmouth has a stony beach, but sandy beaches are within easy motoring distance: Lee Bay, which is sandy at half & lowtide, or miles of golden sand stretching from Woolacombe (15 miles away) through Putsborough, Croyde, Saunton & across the Taw/ Torridge estuary to Instow and Westward Ho! (35 miles away)

From Lynmouth there are regular boat trips along the Heritage Coast. Gently cruise past the nesting colonies of razorbills, guillemots, dunlin and kitiwake and the gulls soaring in the thermals by the highest seacliffs in England.
Red deer, wild Exmoor ponies and buzzards

 One of the most rewarding activities is exploring Exmoor on foot; the diversity of the scenery in a small area is staggering -a walk of six miles could take you along one of the delightful wooded valleys, up onto the rugged moor with panoramic views, and depending on the time of year -a carpet of purple heather or golden gorse or bronze bracken, then on a coastal footpath for views of the soaring cliffs and foaming surf and on a clear day, a sight of the Welsh coastline 30 miles away. On your route you may even be lucky enough to see salmon leaping in the river, or catch a glimpse of the majestic wild red deer and wild Exmoor ponies.
