An Exmoor Christmas
Cosy Nights, Wild Days & Festive Cheer
On the edge of Exmoor where the moor meets the sea, our twin towns glow with simple, human warmth. Lynmouth’s harbour twinkles, Lynton’s lanes feel storybook-cosy, and the Valley of Rocks stands quiet and dramatic—perfect for bracing rambles before something delicious by the fire.
Christmas here is made by people and our community. Couples stroll arm-in-arm with hot chocolates in hand. Families unwrap slow days—waves, waterfalls and mince pies. Friends make a weekend of it: gift-hunting, silly photos, long lunches. Solo wanderers lean into the hush of woodland paths and window-seat afternoons. Dog-lovers clock up happy miles and find plenty of warm welcomes. It’s a gentle season by the sea.
Christmas Dining
From comforting soups and Sunday roasts to cream teas by the fire, artisan hot chocolates, spiced lattes and winter warmers, our cafés, pubs and restaurants make it easy to warm up well.
