Explore North Devon: Lynton And Lynmouth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon, are two villages separated by the highest and steepest Cliff Railway in the world.
On this tour we explore Lynton which stands on top of the cliff and has a lovely array of shops and restaurants, a beautiful cliffside church and a cinema.
We then descend to Lynmouth which lies beneath Lynton. And explore the harbour, shops and take a very wet walk along the reiver towards Watersmeet.
Any trip to North Devon, must include a trip to Lynton & Lynmouth. To experience this Victorian seaside resort for your selves.

Another nice looking seaside town. Cute streets and shops glad you had a look early before the tourists. Nice cliff views beautiful Church. Fun train ride down the cliff railway. Looked steep 😮 Lynmouth Looked nice Clean beach ⛱️ The lookout tower good replica nicely built. Busy harbour. The flood sounded bad well explained Watto 👍 Expensive to visit the waterfall . Shame the rain came at least you both had it too yourselves. Nice seaside houses & memorial hall even a cinema. Thanks for showing us around Watto & Kim Good video 👍 Hope you both have a good weekend 👍
Thanks Adzey Really glad you enjoyed coming along with us. best wishes from us both. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
nice place :)
Thanks for visiting with us. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
You sure did have a great day for a double exposure!! Top or bottom, front or back, heads or tails...both are quite amazing! Not sure about the Cliff Railway...I might just have to walk! Such a marvelously historic looking harbour! Must have been a sad and scary flood indeed! Oh my, the day really turned quickly...yikes...hail!! But there you have it, wait five minutes and the weather will change again...making me feel right at home! lol What a marvelous day it was!!
Yes it was Bruce. lots to see and all sorts of weather to experience. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope yo have a great week. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Hi guys you got a good day for it there and nice film 👍 terrible disaster wasn't it with the flood, it must be ten years since we visited there must return 👌 all the best Glyn and Carol
Thank you 🙏🏻 so much. I am glad you enjoyed watching. Always nice to revist. I appreciate you coming along. Best wishes 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️Watto & Kim
Looks like two fabulous villages to visit! The sped up down trip on the funicular had me worried for a moment - I thought you guys were descending much too fast! It was good that the sun popped out for a little while at least, but it sounds like the weather can get much worse. Loved the song! Very enjoyable tour all the same - great work Watto & Kim!
Glad you enjoyed it Donna. If the descent was that fast I would have been very worried indeed.😊
We had just about all the seasons on the day. It didn't stop us enjoying it though. thanks for joining us. Have a great weekend. Catch up soon. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
I’m amazed how they rebuilt the town after that flood, a great little museum to tell us all about it x💞😀
yes indeed.
I love Lynton!
Valley of the Rocks, the beautiful valley, waterfall, goats(!), stunning views from the churchyard, incredible town hall, and a very creative air to it.
I missed that old railway sign in the garden! Wow!
Thanks both for taking me back there again.
Cheers!
Paul
We always enjoy a visit there. I do think the £10 for the falls is way to expensive though. Don’t understand the greed of these places sometimes. Yes I was glad to spot the sign. A good piece of history.
Glad you liked it. Have a good weekend. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
*Excellent tour of the railway, the marina, and the history of the flood. Wow, you really did experience the nasty weather on your walk.🌧*
Thanks David, Yes we did get very wet on the day. Glad you liked it. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Wow! It's such a charming place! Brilliant ride and lovely beach too! 😍😍👍👍Great trip!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. we certainly had a good day out for sure. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
What a gorgeous places to visit. And love the way you scoot from one to the other below. Awesome view while descending. Loved a lot of the architecture 'up top' before I forget to mention it. Steep streets I see. Great for the waistline if I may be so bold to mention it. I know it works for me. A gorgeous defense/ doubles at lighthouse tower? relic. Well kept. Oh fish and chips. Do you know I still haven't had a feed of fish and chips while Down Under. Shocking. One of my favourite treats. Terrible disaster- back in '52. They happened then and still happen now. Watto and Kim, 9 saw you sneaking off for some photos Kim) thanks for this delightful visit to Lyndon and Lynmouth. I even didn't mind the rain. Have a great weekend. 👌🙋♀🥝😎
Thank you 🙏🏻 so much. I am glad you enjoyed watching. I appreciate you coming along. Best wishes 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️Watto & Kim
What a charming town! That water power railway is cool. I love the views of the sea from the village along your walk through the town. How devastating that flood must have been. The gorge was beautiful, even in the rain. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching. 👍🏻Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️
Lyndon and Lynmouth look truly idyllic. Great hearing about the history and seeing the very steep funicular. Had its share of troubles with flooding and fish departing. Who would live near a river these days? That picture from 1952 is truly horrifying. Yay you got the rain too! And hail! Love the song ❤ nasty irresponsible dog owners! Superb tour guys and a great start to our weekend! 👍
Thanks guys Really glad you enjoyed coming along with us. We certainly had some wet stuff on the day. Best wishes from us both. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Morning Watto and Kim 😊
Both villages look great and definitely worth visiting.
Great views from the church yard
WOW water powered, we would have gone down on the funicular railway too.
Lovely little harbour, so sad to hear about the flood, that picture from 1952 shows how bad it must have been.
We agree £10 each to see the waterfalls is expensive
Shame it rained as you were walking along the river, love the song though 😂
It really winds us up too when people leave the bags or dont pick up after their dogs, gives dog owners a bad name. It's not that difficult to pick up after your dog
Thanks for sharing
Hope you are both well and had a good weekend 😊
Hi Guys,
Thanks for coming along with us. We enjoyed our wander. And the ride on the railway was fun.
Good to see the damage re pared from the floods.
yep dog poo bags are the worst thing ever when left in hedges and lying around etc. Glad you enjoyed watching.
thanks again for your support. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Like 5 watching now 👍
Beautiful town at the sea. Such a great place to visit ❤
Thanks for visiting with us. I am glad you enjoyed it. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Hi to you both, always good to start early. Beautiful seaside town. Looks stunning. The ride down the cliff looked lots of fun. Shame about the rain. Love the singing. Hope you have good weather this weekend. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
I’m glad you enjoyed it thank you for watching. ATB Watto & Kim 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️
Fantastic trip. Lovely places 👍
Thanks for watching. 👍🏻Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️
What a fantastic place. The south coast of Devon seems to get all the tourists and you wonder why when you see places like this. Fantastic tour Watto.
Absolutely right Andy.. some great places on the North Coast. Just not a search term it seems🤷🏻♂️👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
I just loved it here Watto, the railway was fabulous, such a great invention, I wonder when it was invented that they would ever think it would still be going now & hopefully in years to come. Beautiful England 🏴
Great memories of a very enjoyable day. 😘
Always good to get an early start. These villages were both so unique and lovely. Love the cliff trolley that took you down to the other village at the bottom. Water powered is something I’ve never heard of before for a trolley. The flood was devastating for sure. Of course there had to be rain. Y’all have had a lot of that this year. WOW! That ocean view.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yep we have a few Funicular railways over here. But this one is the highest and steepest in the world. Ingenious when you think how it works. Fill a tank on the top trolley until it is heavier than the one on the bottom and gravity does the rest. Empty the tank at the bottom and start again. The cables are just for braking. Soo much rain over here we are evolving webbed feet. Hope you have a great week. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
You certainly had 4 seasons in one day! Lovely towns to wander around in, some nice shops there too.
Ha Ha you are not wrong. Thanks for joining us. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
well done, thumbs up 👍🙏💥
Thank you 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Hi Watto. Love the video. We drove past these little villages when we were travelling from Minehead. We really wish we had stopped now! Those funicular railways are fascinating - hard to believe it is just powered by water! We have a Welsh one in Aberystwyth but not sure how that is powered. It looks like there is more life in Lynmouth -, the floods must have been awful! Sorry it was so wet for you! Thanks for sharing Watto Elaine, Mike, Samuel and Thomas 😍😎👬
The weather is just as bad in Porthcawl these days 🤣🤣🤣
It is defiantly worth a visit guys. And the boys would love the cliff railway. Tbh we were very early starting. As always. Thanks for watching. Hope you get to visit someday. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Morning watto and Kim 😊 lovely place, nice train drive down the the water lovely views. Interesting to hear it’s powered by water. Wow the weather changed quickly on you!
Glad you enjoyed it. We had so much different weather that day. Thanks for coming along.👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
We are always early birds too when we visit places. Its the best part of the day! These towns look lovely and as much as I love Devon I've not visited either, well not as an adult anyway. What great views you got from Lynton church yard. Perfect that there was the cliff railway to get you down to Lynmouth. Certainly a couple of places for me to remember next time we are planning a trip south.
Oh yes early birds catch the worms. Best parking spots and quiet filming spots too 🤣. You would really enjoy a visit. Maybe in a less wet day. A charming old Victorian seaside resort. Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. Enjoy your weekend. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Hi Watto.
Been to Lynton & Lynmouth many many times. Watching that makes me feel like I need to go back with the family.
Great video and insight into the history 👍❤️
Thanks Phil, Yes lost count how many times we have been and always a good day out.
Hi Watto and Kim, we have been to to both and been on the furnicular, Archie wasn’t so keen. We also walked it down a couple of times. Nice history Watto. Enjoyed being reminded of our past visits. Have a lovely weekend x Julie and Tony x
Thanks both Really glad you enjoyed coming along with us. best wishes from us both. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
It is amazing how much the tides have an effect on the river levels there
Yes the Bristol channel has an average of around 48 ft tidal range. Which combined with storms etc is easy to see why there can be issues. Thanks for watching. have a good week. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Watching now! What a lovely place. Still can’t get over how short those roads are😂
H aha. Compared to what you guys have. Thanks for watching LB. Hope all is ok. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Lovely video - and talk about changeable weather! The views are stunning though and looks like a lush place!
Thanks so much Jesse. Hope you had a good birthday. it is well worth a visit apart from the expensive waterfalls.
Have a good week my friend 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
HI Watto and Kim! Lovely little towns! Such cute shops and restaurants, would love to wander around there for a day. The steepest railway looked so fun to ride! So sad about the flood, I bet that was devastating! And there's the rain!! Glad it stopped though :)
Thank you 🙏🏻 so much. I am glad you enjoyed watching. I appreciate you coming along. Best wishes 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶🏼♀️Watto & Kim
How did I fall so far behind, Watto and Kim? I'm so sorry and we're catching up now. What beautiful, colorful, quaint towns. Stunning coastal views and my type of wandering up and down hills! A path? What's that? 🤣🤣Not when there's a perfectly good historical train! Sad about the 52 flood history. The devastation looked terrible in the photo and the loss of life, tragic. On this Easter Sunday it looked pretty bad too. "Everywhere We Go" was lovely! 😁😁But the dog "bleep" not a pleasant find. We enjoyed the tour. But would have loved the fish and chips!
Never worry about falling behind. We are just privileged to have your support. Glad you enjoyed this one. And the fish and chips were awesome. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Beautiful place, shame about getting wet but loved the song. Great video ❤
Glad you enjoyed it Cara. Yep better than the Eurovision freak show 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
What a gorgeous place to visit ! Looks like you saw every season with that weather 😅 We have a similar steep railway in Sydney at the Blue Mountains
Oh yes indeed plenty of weather on the day for sure. Ah nice I am finding out there a lot of these funicular railways. simple engineering. Thanks for watching. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
A charming experience around Lynton and Lymouth - shame about the rain... (again) but we do live in the UK eh? hehe. Always love watching your travels and explores. As i said in a previous video, it really suits you this part of the UK, What a fun funicular! Great history and thank you for the video. Hi Kim!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank yo for continuing to come along with us. have a great week. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Places I have never heard of before but both really nice to visit, especially early, before all the crowds. Shame you could not get inside the church by fair play on Good Friday. Nice way to get up and down the steep cliff, I would not fancy a walk down and defo not a walk up! Loved that little harbour and nice to see the full sun too. Shame about those floods down there 1952 and what devastation it caused.....£10....pass! Opps, what did I say about full sun lol. Cheers Alan
Ah the south Devon resorts tend to get all the attention. But North Devon has some great places to visit.
the walk down or up is pretty daunting tbh. Rkn you would be ok though. Saves £3.50 each on the railway.
The weather on the day was just about 4 seasons worth. almost ended up with soggy chips.
Thanks for watching. have a good week.👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️

Been on this a few times a great experience-Thank you Watto
Thanks James Really glad you enjoyed coming along with us. best wishes from us both. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
Hey Watto and Kim, what a lovely looking place. Never heard of Lynton and Lynmouth so interested to see. Tits, peckers, boobies and tarts, ok, you’ve found our level now 😂😂. How stunning is the view from the churchyard??!!! Careful in those stocks Kim. That funicular railway looks incredible, we’d love to go on that. The Victorians had some great inventions. Stony but lovely beach. The fish suddenly disappeared? That’s weird!! Loving that little harbour area, so pretty. A chat with a couple from Chester, ah, lovely, Chester is only 20 mins from us. Nice weather…😂. If you’re not the Villa…😂😂. £10 for a waterfall? No ta, they should be free or at least a token gesture for maintenance. Pants weather there!! Nice singing 😂. Ah, you can see Wales on a good day…excellent!! We agree with you with the dog 💩 bags!!! The art and craft centre looks amazing. Mmm fish and chips!! We really enjoyed that both, top work x
Thanks guys. It was a great day out despite the weather. we waved at Wales from the sea front. was hard to not buy the tea towels. had a nice chat with the girl from Chester, showing her man where she grew up. really cool. We will enter Eurovision next year. gotta better than the shamble this year. thanks for coming along with us. Have a great week. 👍🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️
That funicular was so cool. It looks in excellent condition. Like how it leads down to a little village. We have only ridden one funicular and it was located in San Sebastian Spain
Ah this is the steepest in the world. Amazing engineering the Victorians had. Powered by water.
Thanks for watching. Hope you are both well. Keep wandering. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
I actually really like how you have done this vlog! Been here, lovely place tbh ❤
Thanks. Really glad you enjoyed coming along with us. best wishes from us both.👍🏻🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️
The weather looked so good to start with but what a change down in Lynmouth. We have had all sorts of weather here but last time we had a brilliant circular walk in full sun. This is a great section of coast and a stop anywhere along here can be rewarding. You did a nice job presenting the towns and enjoying your visit. As for the plastic bag and its contents I find it so annoying on country trails to see people having collected the shit then placing the bag at the side of the path or even hanging from adjacent fences. Some people should just stick to sitting in front of the TV.
Thanks Ivor. Yes both towns are well worth a visit and the area is definitely good with plenty of walks too. I agree on the bad dog owners. They should have it posted in their letterboxes. 🤷🏻♂️
Shame about the weather, but that funicular looked fun.
plenty of water to fill the tanks up. 🤣
