Christmas in Lynton & Lynmouth | Magical Winter Breaks on Exmoor
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.
