Lynmouth is a village in Devon, England, on the northern edge of Exmoor. The village straddles the confluence of the West Lyn and East Lyn rivers, in a gorge 700 feet (210 m) below Lynton, which was the only place to expand to once Lynmouth became as built-up as possible. Both villages are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway which works two cable-connected cars on gravity, using water tanks.
The two villages are a civil parish governed by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council. The parish boundaries extend southwards from the coast and includes hamlets such as Barbrook and small moorland settlements such as East Ilkerton, West Ilkerton and Shallowford.
The South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail pass through, and the Two Moors Way runs from Ivybridge in South Devon to Lynmouth; the Samaritans Way South West runs from Bristol to Lynton and the Coleridge Way from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth.
Lynmouth was described by Thomas Gainsborough, who honeymooned there with his bride Margaret Burr, as "the most delightful place for a landscape painter this country can boast".
We head to the local towns of Lynton and Lynmouth. Very pretty neighbouring coastal towns where one is on the coast and the other is up a cliff joined together via a cliff railway. Twitter: https://twitter.com/hermanthehymer

The Lynton and Lynmouth funicular cliff railway joins the town of Lynmouth at the foot of the cliff with Lynton at the top. The ride provides spectacular views of the Exmoor National Park and the North Devon coastline. When each car is 'docked' with full water tanks (700 gallons) at both stations the cars are in balance (weighing the same) and are ready for loading. As passengers board, the variations are accommodated for by the brakes which clamp the cars to the rails. Each car's brakes can hold the weight of both cars fully laden. In addition to this the lower car has a water operated locking device which clamps the car to the bottom station. When loaded, the drivers use pre-arranged bell signals, unlock the safety locking device - then both cars brakes are released. The lower driv...

It was 20 years ago that the world was told - 'Lynmouth, on the North Devon coast, was no more'. The usually quiet and peaceful fishing village had been ripped apart, with the loss of 34 people, when, after heavy rain, the East and West Lyn Rivers overnight changed course and carried all before it out to sea.

We had a lovely day out at Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon. My 6 year old twins loved exploring and having a ride on the Cliff Railway
Travel on the water powered Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway in Devon, on 17th June 2012. Enjoyed this fascinating funicular railway, the friendly staff, and the glorious views (especially Foreland Point from the top of the Cliff Railway). This superb example of Victorian engineering was fully opened in 1890.
More footage of the landscape of the North Devon coast with peacocks at the Hunters Inn and a ride down the water powered lift/ralway from Lynton to Lynmouth down below and a shaky camera drive through of the South Somerset town of Dunster then back to the Village of Godney in Somerset.. Music by Caravan, excerpts from "Can't wait long" and "Clear blue skies"
See more details on the blog: http://travelingmel.com We've had a few days in the resort town of Ilfracombe in North Devon and it's a stunning area. North Devon holiday cottages abound and we found one not too far from the high street but quiet with sheep out front. That's right. Of all the things to do and places to visit in Devon, this is a highlight. Apparently during the summer this is a prime location for days out in south west England and we can see why. I got the boys out in the sun and on the green grass and they had a blast. Then to a traditional pub for a pint. 'Like' this video (really helps us out) and we would love to know your thoughts on this in the comments.

“NONESUCH” means a place without equal. Exmoor, Ilfracombe, Combe Martin, Berrynarbour, Lynmouth all places in the county of (North) Devon, England. All steeped in English history. Located in southwest England…………....... Altogether it encompasses sandy beaches, fossil cliffs, medieval towns and moorland national parks. There is a South West Coast Path following the coastline, taking in the towering cliffs of the northern Exmoor Coast and rock formations on the fossil-rich southern Jurassic Coast. It lies between the Bristol Channel in the north and the English Channel in the south. The capitol city is Exeter.
