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

Starting with a fabulous walk up the river to Watersmeet house, followed by easy to follow pathways up to the moors and along the cliff paths back to Lynmouth - stunning scenery all the way.

We played golf on a Wednesday in August and there were only two other small groups playing so we were able to take as long as we wanted/needed! We had a really good laugh as balls went on to the wrong holes or we got our distances wrong. Well worth the money-cheaper than the crazy golf courses and just as much fun and competition! Lots of interesting buildings to look at whilst waiting your go too and right next to a children’s play area for the younger ones.

Devon's famous Lynton & Lynmouth funicular Cliff Railway is the most exciting way to travel between these two historic towns & will be the highlight of any visit. Enjoy stunning views of the North Devon Coastline as you ride the steepest totally water powered railway in the world or relax in our Cliff Top Cafe with a traditional Devon Cream Tea.

5. Watersmeet House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 809 reviews
Where the lush valleys of Hoar Oak Water and the East Lyn river tumble together sits Watersmeet House, a 19th-century fishing lodge, now a National Trust shop, tea room and information point. Watersmeet House was built in 1832 as a fishing lodge by the Reverend W.S. Halliday, the son of a rich businessman. The stone for the house was quarried at Watersmeet, above the East Lyn River. Sitting in a beautiful wooded river valley, Watersmeet and its surrounds are a fantastic place to walk, and enjoy the abundant wildlife and nature of this part of Exmoor.

Came across this place by chance and will definately visit again. Very Clean and spacious seating with amazing views over the sea and cliff railway. Friendly helpful staff and varied menu for all ages and dietary requirements. The Rhubarb frangipan was amazing. A great place - one to be proud of.

This is a perfectly pitched authentic honest and informative attraction. The exhibition hall has interesting original stories and artefacts that bland local history with current global challenges of climate change. The walk up the ravine takes only 30 minutes but you will be rewarded with the most intimate viewing points with a fast flowing and loud waterfall. The signs might be a bit homespun but the sight of nature is awesome. Try and time it, as I did, to visit the day after a heavy rain on the moor (not hard in N Devon!) when the channel is in flood. Brilliant and well worth £6.

I had someone who was hard of walking (his phrase for needing a stick) so we drove all the way down to the lighthouse. The track is narrow, steep in places and in a poor state of repair but the views are fantastic. Should you wish you can stay in a cottage at the lighthouse courtesy of the National Trust or, for those of a more robust nature, there's a bothy near the coast.

What a lovely surprise finding this place...and it's FREE!!! Small cash boxes are dotted around if you want to make a donation..and to be fair you really should, but it's completely free to go in and witness one of the best model railways you'll ever see in Britain. It's massive and really well thought out ( albeit thick of dust in places ) and you can stand and enjoy the engines running round the various areas and scenarios. Not just a model railway but also a model shop selling lots of accessories to enhance your own layout should you be lucky enough to own one. I could've stood there a lot longer had I been on my own and not with my partner. Well worth a visit.
