21 Mile Drive

Reviewed By belindall - Taunton, United Kingdom

Looking for an afternoon out we came across the '21 Mile Drive' map on the 'Visit Lynton & Lynmouth' website Explore/Scenic Drives.... Narrow lanes running along cliff tops with glorious sea views and winding down through deep wooded valleys by fast flowing rivers, we spent a relaxing afternoon driving around this spectacular figure of eight drive. On the way round we parked up a couple of times to take short walks in the afternoon sunshine; as I said a lovely afternoon drive.....

Valley of the Rocks

Reviewed By Lilacwheaty - Nottingham, United Kingdom

Fabulous rocky outcrop that invites you to do a bit of "lite" climbing and jumping from rock to rock (this was more fun in my 20s than in my late 50s) Stunning views along the coastline and can walk back to Lynton/ Lynmouth from here to get the most of the scenery

Doone Valley

Reviewed By shanes236 - Northamptonshire, United Kingdom

We took the drive from Porlock to Oare and back to Brendon where we stopped for lunch and had a walk afterwards. With scenery which includes beautiful old bridges(robbers bridge)and the stream which seemed to be in every village we visited,the Doone Valley is a pleasant alternative to the A39. The entire area,which I had never heard of until shortly before we left,really impressed us all and it is highly likely we will revisit later in the week. Visited 9th July 2018.

Burrowhayes Farm Riding Stables

Reviewed By Vanlifemum - Bristol, United Kingdom

Discovered this campsite this year. Love it!! Well run and friendly family run campsite. Really welcoming. We liked it so much we stayed twice in August. Great location. Welcomes dogs. Good walks through surrounding woodland to Porlock, Porlock Weir and the beach. We were in the second field which has a slope so if you're in a van (we were) you'll need blocks to level the van. This will definitely become a favourite place to visit.

South West Coast Path - Bossington Landscape

An easy 2.5 mile stroll along the South West Coast Path on the halfway path around Bossington Hill, giving extensive views over the dramatically flat marsh and farmland of Porlock Vale, a landscape of national importance because of the rare flora and fauna which flourish here.

Heddon's Mouth- South West Coast Path Walk

A gentle 2 mile stroll on relatively level terrain along parts of the South West Coast Path through ancient woodland, along a babbling stream to a tiny secluded shingle beach strewn with boulders and shadowed by steep, scree-clad hillsides, with dramatic cliffs of geological importance and tales of smugglers and U-boats.

Reviewed By MrDunkley - Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

Beautiful spot, incredible views of the mountains and ocean, just nature at its best, we visited Heddon’s Mouth twice while staying at the Hunters Inn.

Indicknowle Farm

Reviewed By JackP196 - Chichester, United Kingdom

There was no one part better than another, it was better than all the rest for us, Sue and Mark are the ideal hosts and as usual, on arrival, Sue lays the table with her home made bread, home made scones, home made jam and cream and it just gets better. Both Sue and Mark are always there to help, even though Indicknowle is a full time hard working farm. The meat is excellent and the cider is a passion with them. The cottage itself is spotless and very well looked after with two onsuite bedrooms. If you want a holiday where you dont have to go anywhere if you dont want to, this is it. Having said that, you are close to lots of coastal ports to visit and eat out, there are boat trips for fishing or sightseeing. Something for everyone, even a rail trip for those steam enthusiasts. If that is not enough, Marks dad Jeff is a mine of information and son Christopher showed me how to catch trout. We cannot wait to go back again to this lovely place and lovely very friendly people Thank you Sue Mark and Christopher and dad, Jeff
