Hiking

The Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway is the highest and steepest fully-water-powered railway in the UK. Built in 1888, the steep 862-foot (263 m) long track rises 500 feet (152 m) between the two neighbouring villages; which are close in distance but a fair-step apart in terms of height. The railway is open daily from 10am between February and November. Tickets are quite affordable but they don't accept cash – card only. You can take dogs and bikes, too. For more information, visit: cliffrailwaylynton.co.uk.

Hiking

Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway is a unique Victorian water-powered lift. The most exciting way to travel between Lynton and Lynmouth, this vertical railway affords stunning views of Exmoor and the North Devon Coastline as you glide up and down the 862 foot length of track.

Oct 23: one way only, card payment only. 3.5 pounds per nose.
At least uphill you can avoid a nasty climb, have fun and support this great little railway. There's also a café up in Lynton. Attention, the last train currently leaves at 5 p.m.!
