5 Beautiful Things to Do in Exmoor in North Devon
Experience the peace and tranquility of Exmoor.
When you find your special place, it’s one of those moments that take your breath away and makes your heart beat just that little bit faster. The charming and historic towns of Lynton & Lynmouth can be one of those places.
Lynton is nestled high in the cliffs overlooking the Bristol Channel along the North Devon coast and offers spectacular sea views. The delightful harbour town of Lynmouth sits serenely below at the mouth of the cascading waters of the River Lyn.
Imagine walking along the winding South West Coastal Path with its breathtaking views to the beautiful and ancient Valley of Rocks. The perfect place to throw down a rug to enjoy a picnic, a glass of bubbly, or a flask of your favourite tea. Sitting peacefully watching the sunset or sunrise in the Valley of Rocks or the rocky beaches of Lynmouth can be quite magnificent and awe-inspiring.
It’s easy to see how world-renowned writers and poets like Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and R.D. Blackmore found their inspiration for romance in Exmoor. Once you start wandering amongst the rolling hills, along sheer cliffs, and alongside the tumbling rivers of Watersmeet and the Doone Valley, time itself seems to stand still.
