Valley of Rocks

Highlight • Gorge

One of the most incredible natural features of the North Devon coastline, the Valley of Rocks is a dry valley with steep cliffs and sea views. As you walk through here, keep an eye out for feral goats nibbling plants on precipitous rocks and bounding about with no care for the dramatic drops below. The goats have lived here for hundreds of years, although had to be reintroduced in the 70s after extreme winters in the 60s decimated the population.

North Walk (South West Coast Path)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

North Walk is one of the most stunning stretches of the South West Coast Path. Clinging to the cliff face, it offers views across to Wales and along the Exmoor coast.

It is an easy-going walk along North Walk from Lynton to the Valley of Rocks and it is equally easy to forget the work once involved in constructing it.

Lynmouth

Highlight • Settlement

The villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, situated on the North Coast of Devon, are renowned for high sea cliffs, breathtaking natural beauty and unspoilt landscape. From here, you are perfectly placed to access the inner moor, visit historic houses, inspiring gardens, as well as catch glimpses of the majestic red deer and the wild Exmoor ponies.

Glen Lyn Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Most of the pictures here do NOT show the Gorge!!!!

The entrance to it is clearly signposted and is exactly where you can see the water fountain. You pay 10 pounds entry per person, are greeted in a friendly manner and are given historical and technical background information about the exhibition. After visiting it, we continue along the river on steep paths to various waterfalls. This is very nice, especially if you're just passing through Lynmouth and only have time for a mini hike but still want to experience something. Or if you really want to get to know the place and are interested in technology and/or history.
There are plenty of benches and picnic options, and the large parking lot with restrooms is just a few minutes from the entrance. Cafes and pubs are plentiful in Lynmouth.
