Lynmouth is a charming coastal village where the East Lyn and West Lyn rivers meet the sea. With its harbour, beach, cafés and pubs, it has everything needed for a relaxed holiday. The village is linked to the clifftop town of Lynton by the historic Cliff Railway, which has been running since 1890 and provides wonderful views of the coast and harbour below.
The surrounding area is part of Exmoor National Park, known for its moorland, wooded valleys and dramatic sea views. Popular walks include the riverside path to Watersmeet and the Valley of Rocks, where wild goats roam among striking rock formations. Whether exploring the coast path, enjoying the scenery of the national park, or simply relaxing by the harbour, Lynmouth is an excellent base for both walking and sightseeing.
