Where the Lyn rivers meet is a lovely spot for sketching, just watching the birds and animals or having a cream tea at the National Trust house. A 45 minute walk from Lynmouth takes you through the stunning wooded river valley which is one of the deepest in England. A shorter walk is from the car park on Watersmeet Road. There are beautiful waterfalls and the whole area is a walker's paradise.
No family trip to the picturesque towns of Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon would be complete without a ride on the famous cliff railway. This water-powered funicular railway opened in 1890 and there are amazing views across Lynmouth Bay.
The Valley of the Rocks or The Valley of Rocks is a dry valley that runs parallel to the coast. It is a popular tourist destination, noted for its herd of feral goats, and for its geology, having good exposures of the Lynton Beds that are among the oldest Devonian rocks in north Devon and are highly fossiliferous. A description cannot do justice to this place of outstanding natural beauty.
We are just two minutes away from the Lynton–Lynmouth part of the South West Coast Path, the Coleridge Way and the Tarka Trail. The scenery at all times of the years is spectacular.

We are right next to this charming museum - well worth a visit and proof that small is indeed beautiful. You can find more details here. It has collections of agricultural and domestic tools from Lynton and Exmoor as well as maritime, railway, and natural history, unique pictures of the Lynmouth Flood, and a Victorian dolls' house. The museum and is housed in Lynton's oldest surviving domestic dwelling, it even includes its own ghost!
Opposite Lynmouth Harbour is the Flood Memorial Hall. The permanent free exhibition inside includes a scale model of the village pre-flood, along with images of the buildings which were destroyed and how to identify their sites. There are many personal accounts, photos, as well as material on the recent theory that it may have been the result of cloud-seeding experiments by the military. You can see a Pathe news film about the disaster here.
