FAB views from railway 🚂 one of my favourite for views.🤓👍
Like it. 👌
I agree, the view form Lynton by the Cliff Railway is simply breathtaking! 😍
Very!
Me and my husband are staying at the Valley of the rocks Hotel in August, omg! That view is amazing, can't wait to see it for real.
Thanks!
Gorgeous area, I love both Lynton and Lynmouth, the views are stunning. Looked a nice day, clear blue skies & the sun shining.
Another cracking video thanks, only saying to my supervisor this morning that when we visit Devon in June for 2 weeks, we might go and visit Lynton and Lynmouth for a day, looks like a fantastic place to visit, I look forward to seeing your videos, even thinking of going to ilfracoombe too for a day
Another great video neil for got how beautiful Lynton is can't wait to see Lynmouth next
How Beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you too!
@@GimbalWalkTV I lived in Barnstaple in the 80's in R.A.F accommodation at R.A.F Chivenor which is no longer. We went to Lynton quite a few times. I was told that the singer Elkie brooks lives there. Beautiful place. Love watching your channel. Superbly filmed!
I remember staying at a youth hostel in Lynton on a school trip in the 1970,s I would love to hear if anyone remembers this and what is there today.
On the right side of town hall is a short road leading to the Coastal Walk ( not coast path ) an interesting route to the highest part of Valley of the Rocks, perhaps an easier route if you have a head for heights.
Thank you! Love Lynton and Lynmouth, very special place
Awesome village. Thanks for sharing
Thank you too
Another great & fantastic video of LYNTON | Exploring the holiday seaside town of Lynton Devon!.💚💚💚💚
Thanks Michael!
Beautiful location, i absolutely love Devon would love to move there one day, thanks for the walk.
What a stunning view of the beach and mountains from that hilltop! If I didn’t know better, I’d have said you were in Greece! Stunning!
The coastal cliffs at Lynton & Lynmouth are the highest in England. If you get chance travel through Lynton heading to Lee will take to the Valley of Rocks, it's beautiful, reminds me of the Highlands (on a smaller scale). The clifftop path from there takes you back to Lynmouth. The views are stunning if a little scary 😁
Ah I nearly went there too - I did wonder what valley of the rocks actually was.
The way it was signposted around the area it made it feel a bit like a theme park 🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV haha not quite. It's an open valley with lots of rocky outcroppings (including one that's a local legend, allegedly a witch was turned to stone!) There are substantial cliffs there with Castle Rock the largest (and a fabulous view if you take the steep path to the top). Ravens have recently returned there to nest to add to the crazy wild goats that live on the cliffs! 😁 Great videos keep up the great work.
What an amazing place!! The view is stunning 🤟
Great video it looks a lovely place to visit great scenery enjoyed the walk hope you didn't get too cold stay safe well and warm god bless
Thanks for another great video Neil, shame the cliff railway wasn't running, I love Lynton and Lynmouth. Two of my favourite places
Did you find the cinema? These places are always better out of season when you’re not dodging people and traffic.
Stunning place, I went on the train once, great fun, very steep, pity the poor horses and donkeys who used to pull it up and down though.
I can't believe this is 12 noon on a Saturday - where is everyone?! I know it's January.
I stayed in the area 20-ish years ago. I have been back since but the weather wasn't great and we didn't spend much time there. It is such a pretty area. I think it's looking better than I remember it back in the 90s.
Lovely video. Makes me want to return soon with my new walking boots!
Thank you so much for the entertainment. Mostly thank you for putting the street names on it is extremely helpful!
Best Devon village in our opinion! Love the funicular! If you get to Pittsburg PA ride the one there! Thanks for this film!
Isn't this that same place the macmaster went to and tried getting down to the beach but gave up trying to reach it via that pathway down the stairs 🤣🤣
Ha ha no that was Babbacombe I think
I’d have cried going all that way down the hill and having to come back up 🤣🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV lol
Love the videos but stomping sound from you white trainers .like hob nail boots other than that rest is perfect .
Can’t help that I’m afraid - the boots are like clogs 🤣🤣
