Lynton and Lynmouth
Lynmouth is a lovely harbour town with a long stretch of shingle and rock beach connected to Lynton by the famous Victorian water-powered funicular railway. They are both fun to explore with a variety of local independent shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes and cosy pubs.
Lynton is also famous for the stunning landscape at Valley of Rocks.
Local beaches of Lee Bay and Wringcliff are wonderful around low tide for a swim.

Walking around this area is wonderfully varied from the woodland riverside walk towards Watersmeet to the beautiful coastal path and open expanses of moorland.

BEACHES
​
North Devon has some of the loveliest and cleanest beaches in the world. From the international surf reserve at Woolacombe with 3 miles of golden sands to the stunning coves of Heddons Mouth and Broadsands. There is something to suit everyone.. world-class surfing to kayaking, swimming and rock pooling, enjoying a blustery walk or simply soaking up the sun listening to the waves. A short drive away we have Lynmouth and Lee Bay beaches. Lee bay is lovely for a swim or a family day out. Lynmouth has amazing surfing in the right conditions for the more experienced and swimming is lovely at the other end of the beach. There are plenty of dog friendly beaches to chose from too.
