things to do in the winter

Winter in Lynton & Lynmouth is a sleepy old affair, many of the main attractions begin their hibernation until the Spring, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to do.  This is a great time to explore our wild beaches, rugged moorland and nature’s timeless natural attractions. The captivating and expansive Valley of Rocks welcomes everyone throughout all seasons and looks particularly splendid in the bleak midwinter.
