Open 10am-3pm Tues, Weds, Thurs, & Sat.
Making for one of Devon and the South West’s prettiest picture postcard resorts, the twin villages of Lynton & Lynmouth in North Devon are situated on the dramatic and rugged Heritage Coast of Exmoor National Park.
Lynton at the top of a gorge is connected by the world famous water powered funicular cliff railway to the harbour village of Lynmouth below.
Lynton & Lynmouth were “discovered” in the first decade of the 19th century when the Napoleonic Wars closed the Continent to travellers.
Unable to make their Grand Tours of Europe due to the conflict visitors to Lynton & Lynmouth and the Lyn Valley area christened it “Little Switzerland” as it was reminiscent and evocative of their sojourns through the Alps en route to Italy.
It’s spectacular beauty inspired famous literary figures such as Wordsworth, Coleridge Blackmore and Shelley, and years later Lynmouth was the scene of a devastating flood in 1952.
Lynton & Lynmouth are situated on the north coast of Devon in Exmoor National Park on the A39 between Minehead and Barnstaple.
Exmoor is so very rich in history, culture and beauty and yet many of us seldom explore what we have in our very own back garden! ~ SEE WHAT YOU ARE MISSING!

We love this walk high above the Heddon Valley, along the Coast Path from Hunter’s Inn to Trentishoe. The walk up is hard going but views are breathtaking and deeply rewarding.
In fact there are some gorgeous walks around this area and it’s good to know not all of them ascend to the heavens.
Are you getting out and about enough?
... Want to stay in the Heddon Valley? Check out the Heddon's Gate Hotel, Exmoor and live these views for real.
