Winter Day Trips to Lynton & Lynmouth
Make a winter’s day of it in Little Switzerland: shop independent, warm up in a café, ride a Santa steam train or catch the GLOW lights at Rosemoor.

Bring the dog, wrap up warm and head to the coast. Lynton & Lynmouth in winter is one of Devon’s most welcoming dog-friendly getaways — fewer crowds, wild coastal light and the comfort of fireside pubs after bracing walks. Whether you’re escaping for Christmas or taking a peaceful post-festive break, there are plenty of stays where dogs are not just accepted, but truly welcomed.
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.
