Lynton Lynmouth Snow res

Experience Exmoor Through the Seasons | Lynton & Lynmouth

From moor to sea, the magic of Little Switzerland never fades.

Exmoor never looks the same twice. From the bright heather of summer to the moody mist of winter, every season transforms the cliffs, rivers, and woodlands around Lynton & Lynmouth. Whether you love hiking, photography, wildlife, or just the peace that comes after a storm, each visit offers something different — and unforgettable.

Spring in Exmoor

The valley bursts back to life.

Waterfalls run strong, woodlands fill with bluebells, and Exmoor ponies graze new grass along the cliff paths. Stay a little longer and you’ll hear birdsong replace the hush of winter.

Summer in Exmoor

Warm winds, long days, and big skies.

The moors blaze with purple heather, the harbour hums with visitors, and the coast path calls for adventure. Kayak, swim, walk, or simply sit — summer in Little Switzerland is pure Exmoor freedom.

Autumn in Exmoor

Gold light and misty mornings.

The trees along the East Lyn River turn amber and russet, the air smells of woodsmoke, and the crowds fade. It’s a time for slow travel and small joys — coffee, stories, sea air.

Winter in Exmoor

Quiet paths, crisp air, and fireside comfort.

Winter on Exmoor is peaceful — the waterfalls thunder, deer wander close, and the towns glow with candlelight and conversation. It’s the perfect season for wild walks followed by a hot chocolate by the harbour.

No matter when you come, Lynton & Lynmouth offer a front-row seat to Exmoor’s changing moods. One visit won’t be enough — each season tells a new story.
