England's 'Little Switzerland' - on the northern edge of the west country peninsula; This part of Exmoor is an area of incomparable beauty. Sweeping braken clad coombes (valleys) nestle between stunning heather topped hills and spectacular cliffs. Rivers and tumbling waterfalls wind their way through deeply wooded valleys to the sea, creating an outstandingly magnificent and charming countryside, which the Victorians refered to as the Little Switzerland of England.

Set amidst this spetacular scenery is Lynton, a bright airy Victorian village with a selection of shops, tea-room and cafes. A unique water operated cliff railway dating back to 1890 joins the village of Lynton to its sister village of Lynmouth, 500ft below.
