Exmoor





The two of us drove down to Lynton in Karen's car arriving at the North Cliff Hotel in the afternoon. Right next to the hotel is the Cliff Railway which is really interesting as it uses gravity to move the railcar up and down the steep rails connecting Lynmouth and Lynton which are separated by quite a difference in height. After unloading the car we walked in the sunshine along the coast path to the Valley of the Rocks and then followed past the cricket pitch and the grassy car park where there were a large number of goats and a few ponies grazing. We followed the road back to Lynton and after some tea at a cafe, returned to the hotel.
In the evening we drove the short distance down to nearby Lynmouth and had a meal at The Rising Sun.
