Plan a cosy winter’s day in Little Switzerland. Start with a cliff-top or riverside walk, warm up over a hearty lunch, browse independent shops, then chase golden hour over sea and headlands. Quiet paths, big skies and welcoming places to refuel — this is Lynton & Lynmouth in winter.
When the Atlantic gets theatrical, Little Switzerland shines. Winter days bring boom and spray along the harbour, big-sky walks over the cliffs of Exmoor National Park, and then—refuge: crackling fires, generous plates, and star-pricked night skies. Come for the storm, stay for the fire, and discover a slower, cosier Lynton & Lynmouth.
When Little Switzerland sparkles, a quick dash for gifts becomes a coastal escape. Stay over for twinkling streets, proudly independent shops, pub fires and sea-view strolls — then wrap up for cliff-top walks and Dark Sky nights.
