- čas přidán 19. 06. 2024
- Protected by cliffs in a valley where two rivers converge you will find the pretty Victorian seaside resort of Lynton and Lynmouth. Lynmouth is the quaint fishing harbour and Lynton is perched high above on the cliffs. They are linked by the famous Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway which the Victorians built in 1890. In our video today we'll take a stroll through the streets talk about some of its past and take a ride on the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff railway. We share some of the stunning walks you can do in the area, including the Valley of the Rocks and Watersmeet. We'll chug along the coastline in a Victorian carriage on the Lynton & Barnstable Railway and check out another coastal resort Combe Martin.
All of this will give you great ideas of things to do in Lynton and Lynmouth, all reasons to stay and visit for more than a day.

These videos are like finding a present on the dining room table with my name on it. :o)
You gents are genuinely gifted with an uncanny talent in creating exquisite, high interest vids. I was a tv news videographer for 20 years (until my shoulders gave out). You inspire me to take my iPhone out on weekends and see what local stories I can find. Your talent for storytelling with pictures is something not many on CZcams have❤❤❤Thank you for all you do for us.❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️
Hi Jeff thank you so much for your lovely comment and for supporting us on Ko-Fi. Means a lot that you and others are enjoying our videos and getting something from them. 😊👍
HEAR HEAR.
I absolutely agree! ( :
Sunday morning here in Australia 🇦🇺. Perfect time ⏲ to sit down with a coffee ☕ and my tablet and Memory Seekers 🥰 Makes my soul happy 😊
Good morning 😊
I visited Lynton and Lynmouth a few years ago. I had wanted a go on the funicular for years! And the Valley of the Rocks was spectacular for views of the coastline. In the hot weather we had it felt positively Mediterranean. Thank you so much for the memory jogs, in yet another wonderful video. Always a pleasure to watch😀.
So glad we stirred the memories, I last visited as a child so it was lovely to be back.
Brilliantly filmed and expertly narrated; I can’t praise you and your channel videos enough! I have added these two towns to my list of places to visit. I nominate you for Tourism Ambassador of the UK😊You show the world the beauty of your country with every amazing video you film. Thank you for bringing us all along on your fantastic travels.
Thank you so much 😊 so kind 😊
Some stunning scenery on the tour today .Really enjoyed it all. Wonderful that the train is up and running.
Was here n 2019 it was absolutely roasting, a big favourite. We took the wee cable train to the top, it was a perfect day and a beautiful drive from Somerset. We even saw some ponies . 🐨🥰
What would Sunday morning be without sitting in bed with a cuppa watching one of your lovely trips before I start the day ❤ such lovely places and as a railway fan I love the see the old lines reopened as tourist rails. Its also interesting watching from Australia to see the opposite seasons, you heading to summer as we head into winter. Thanks again for another lovely show. Cheers, Cheryl 🙂
Ah yes winter is just around the corner. We are so glad to start having some better weather it’s been a very wet and grey winter and we have missed the sun!
Thanks for showing us the places and telling us their story. I never miss your videos❤
I just love your videos! You've filmed so many places from our visits to England. It's such a joy to go along with you virtually!
So nice that you have seen them for yourself, brings back the memories. 😊
Loved this video! 💛 Once again, looking forwards to next week's already 😊
😊 thank you for watching 😊
Beautiful. Loved it all. Thank you once again. Hugs and blessings
Lovely place! I was born in Minehead, so this brings back memories. The hill down from Exmoor into Lynmouth is Countisbury (rather than Countisby) Hill.
Thank You Simon and Will!! In spite of being unable to afford to travel anywhere at this time, your videos are a great intro to each of the areas. Reading about it is NOT the same as actually watching to see what these areas look like and what a "fincula" actually is. In the US it's called something else that the coal miners used in Pittsburgh, PA and parts of West Virginia. But I can't remember what it's called because I don't live there. Last BUT NOT least, watching your videos are great for your mental health. Cheers and Hugs from NYC
Jaw-droppingly beautiful! So well captured, edited, and narrated!
Thank you! 😊
Immer wieder tolle Videos, vor allem aus eurem schönen Heimatland
Beautiful countryside, pretty villages and scenic train rides.
Thank you for your videos. Recently used your channel as information for our visit to Scotland ❤
Great to hear they have been helpful. Hope you had a great trip in Scotland.
Very lovely 🥰 thank you for sharing this unique area. I would love 💕 to walk the Valley of the rocks and ride the train.
Hope one day you make it happen!
Another wonderful video. Very interesting history as well as a tragic event. Thank you. I look forward to next time!🥰
Yes it was tragic, it has recovered and the memories of those lost is still strong.
I dont know how you do it. You seem to fill every camera angle with scenic gorgeousness. A definite talent!
What a lovely 😍 & relaxing video 😊 some times life looks harder & depressed but your videos always give a hope that world is a better place to live & enjoy, I appreciate whole heartedly for your blog with most beautiful & astonishing contents ever seen on CZcams till date... no other blogger video I ever love to watch as much as I do your's especially England series or any other location no matter what, your videos are always on next level ❤😊 thank u & with best wishes for more
These beautiful small villages that you are visiting are a step back in time. Away from the cities there seems to be a totally different feel where you can see that the communities care about their environment. The tidal distance between low and high is really amazing, you wouldn't want to fall asleep on the beach =-( . Thank you as always for my tiki tour to an English village. I always wonder whether my ancestors walked the footpaths that you show. Take care.
A stunning part of England, presented with great professionalism. Thanks again guys, you just reaffirmed my(Ian) view that traveling around the UK would never be uninteresting. Wonderful.
My parents lived in Lynton for 15 years and i lived there for 5 years and seriously you have covered everything, thank you so much, really enjoyed your masterpiece! Still live in Devon!
Thank you, so nice to read ☺
A Magical Landscape! ❤ Kind regards from Figueira da Foz, Portugal
I love your videos! I feel like I am there with you.😊
Thank for such beautiful footage, great job👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you 😊
Two beautiful villages, wonderfully presented, thank you. Your explanation and video of the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway were very interesting and left me wanting to visit in order to ride up the cliff.
I absolutely loved visiting this place, sadly 15 years ago. Over due another visit 😊
Hope you make it back! 😊
@@MemorySeekers thank you. That is the plan for 2024 :)
I visited Lynton and Lynmouth back in the mid-1990s and it hasn't change one bit. The west country remains Britain's best kept secret, but now and then a few of us Yanks find our way there and savor the experience. I enjoyed the best mutton sandwich of my life in Lynmouth. Not only is the area beautiful and charming, the people were wonderful. Thank you for refreshing fond memories.
Lynton and Lynmouth just happened to be my dad favourite place so it brings back happy memories ,in 1963 there was a mobile fish and chip van in Lynmouth most evenings
Another delightful tour of beautiful towns and countryside.
Absolutely gobsmackedly beautiful place!!! I found the funicular railway quite fascinating, although I did have some trouble understanding the mechanics of the system. But the coastal views are just stunning and beautiful beyond description! 😍. Thank you again for your excellent work.
Hermosos paisajes y como siempre todo muy bien cuidado .
Acá en Valparaíso tenemos muchos ascensores ya que hay muchos cerros.
La mayoría de éllos no funciona por falta de dinero he interés .
Hay un ascensor llamado Reina Victoría.
hemos estado en los ascensores en Valparaíso, fueron muy divertidos para evitar los cerros. No sabía que tenían nombres como Reina Victoria.
Another fab video.Always enjoyable,and informative. Very watchable with excellent narration,as always.Never a disappointment, and a happy time when discovering a new video has been added.Thankyou.😊
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊
You make the BEST videos! Thank you so much.
Absolutely wonderful! The fantastic views, and charming features of each town. That is some serious shingle! The water-powered funicular is so interesting, and I loved when the driver waved at you. The area does have an Alpine feel; I first rode a funicular up to the Fortress in Salzburg, Austria. For years I've heard about the ancient English practice of using small fields surrounded by hedgerows, especially on hillsides. So scenic, as well as providing an environment for birds and other wildlife. It made me think of that episode of the old series, To The Manor Born, where the new owner wanted to rip them out in favor of 'corporate' farming methods. Terrible! Where would the hedgehogs live? ;D Your videos are always a lovely treat! :)
That coastline scenery is truly breathtaking. Another great video, guys. 😊
It really is stunning in this area, Valley of the Rocks just 🤩
Each of your videos is a treat, beautiful photography along with interesting and informative commentary, it makes me wish I lived in England so I too could visit these charming villages! Oh, and that plate of fish and chips, along with what looked like a glass of cider, mmm, mmm, I could almost taste it. Thank you for doing this fabulous videos, and sharing your beautiful country with us!!
Yes it was Exmoor cider and very nice as we sat by the sea. A most enjoyable day. 😊
This was an absolutely stunning video. You have visited so many wonderful places but I think is the best yet. I can't imagine being fortunate enough to live in such beauty and history. You never disappoint, that's for sure. I always look forward to your new videos. Have a wonderful day guys 🙂
As usual, I loved this video bout Lynton!!! You show us so many beauties even in a small village!!! It's all that I've dreamed many many years ago!!!Thank you one more time for your wonderful videos! Thay make my days much better!!! Neusa Helena🌳🌷
So glad you enjoyed another video 😊
Memory Seekers ich kann mich wieder nur bedanken. Das war wunderbar.
Toll dieses Video 👍👋
I used to work in Lynmouth years ago. It's a beautiful place.
It really is!
Hi Simon and Will. Hope you’re both doing well. Lynton/Lynmouth area really has every kind of landscape and seascape views a person could possibly want. And if you’re not so outdoorsy, you can nip into the quaint local shops, museums, churches etc. Something for everyone. Thanks again for sharing. ❤
So true, I think there is something for everyone here. Lovely place.
Lovely scenery. You have a lovely relaxing voice and I enjoy learning about the history of the places you visit. Keep it up x
What a lovely beautiful video. absolutely stunning views, thankyou
My favorite channel, love from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Ah thank you glad to have you watching.
I love this. It's travelling without travelling. Thank you so much, from Sydney.
Glad you enjoyed it!
As usual - brilliant
My favourite place in the UK, absolutely beautiful, best pint of Tribute in the Rose an Crown, Great Sunday roast there too. Watersmeet, Valley of the rocks and Woody Bay are great walks. You really should have walked the coastal path to valley of the rocks some of the most beautiful scenery in this country its incredible.
Yes we will do that next time sadly we had a number of things on that day so didn’t have the time to spend the whole day there. Looks amazing.
Another wonderful video. Love all your tours. Thanks.
Terrific video. Brings back great memories from 30 years ago. Is the huge model railway layout still exhibited in Lynton?
I believe the model railway is still there next to the old church that survived the flood but it was not open when we walked around.
Travelled that coastal road, it was terrifying for me as I hate heights. As well as the steepest road I’ve ever seen! But they are beautiful places as is Porlock where we camped years ago.
The roads certainly can be challenging in places. Nice to hear you have visited.
Scenari spettacolari ❤ Thank you ❤
Grazie per aver guardato.
My wife and I stayed so many times before cancer took her. Our very favourite place in England.
I am glad we stirred important memories for you.❤
A delightful presentation as always. Thank you 👍
So nice of you ☺ Thank you!
So beautiful, that tram is a marvellous idea & built all those years ago. Thank you, another great tour 👍👍
Our pleasure! So glad you liked it.
Espectacular! Muchas gracias
It was really great to find your video on Lynton and Lynmouth. I've been going there regularly since I was a child it feels like home and so beautiful.
Lovely to read how fond you are of them. 😊
Thanks for that absolutely excellent video. You really take us to the beauties The UK has got. I adore your videos. Thank you and keep doing such wonderful videos.
Well presented and edited video. Greetings from Australia.
❤❤❤ thanks for the beautiful video xx
No problem 😊
Another lovely video! And as for next time....did someone say yarn market???😮🤩
Very nice, thank you
😊
this film is exactly what I was looking for about my love -- Lynton and Lynmouth
Thankyou for these just gorgeous videos, much appreciated; enjoy the history you gather for them too.
Our pleasure!
Beautiful ❤
Thankyou just enchanting .
Wow. So Beautifull and interesting....greetings from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦🧓
Last visited Lynmouth in 2005 staying at the Tors Hotel which had a fabulous view down over the village. Sadly no longer a hotel. I even took my Newfoundland dog on the cliff railway. Lovely memories.
Rob and me have walked up the road to the top twice it was really great but now we can only car it up the hill lovely video thanks for sharing mair and robert owen❤
Wow twice! It was one good workout!, it is actually quite hard to walk down it, so steep at times.
Thank you so much.
Amazing video of amazing places. Thank you!
Love it
Thank you for this beautiful film!
If I lived in such a village I would stay there forever, wonderful.
Thank you for watching 😊
Very enjoyable, Simon, what lovely weather. Must check out your Parracombe video as we lived on the moors nearly as a young 'un. Certainly looks all very spick & span - and isn't the Cliff Railway brilliant - why aren't there more of such perfectly formed modes of transport?! Happy travels, looking forward to Dunster, hope you made the castle it's worth a detour - mind you there's a lot to see in North Devon - quite a contrast to South (where the family are now based.) And I can't belive you saw so many goats - they must have more, I've never seen them!!
Sadly we didn't enter the castle as its owned by the National Trust and you need to jump through hoops to be allowed to film and show it on youtube.
I went here couple of times in the past can honestly say one of my favourite places I’ve been , thanks for the memories
Hello to you both , nice to see this video beautiful spot thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
I've got beef with a seagul down in Linton, it mugged me for me chips!
Oh no! They can be very vicious.
My favorite UK travel source! You really do a fine job of introducing us to parts unknown. I am adding to my England itinerary based on your videos. 🇬🇧❤
Awesome, thank you!
Love all of your visits, MEMORY SEEKERS!!
Love this video. I’m enjoying watching ur past videos. It means so much to not only see the beautiful scenery but the history &significance of so many things. I applaud u both & thank u for such well done videos! U have a new follower & fan in me 😉🥰
Thank you for joining us, as you go further back, you'll see how we have (I hope) improved over the years do this. So of our older videos could do with some TLC!😊
Visited here in 87, it rained like a sod and we took refuge in a pub 😂😂
We did a up n down on the cliff tram, then headed back to the pub 😉👍
I can think of worse places to have to hole up out of the rain 😂
Looks a lovely place to visit and so scenic. They must have a good council. A few miles down the coast, Combe Martin and Ilfracombe are falling to bits and couldn't hold a candle to Lynton & Lynmouth.
Beautiful video. Music, excellent. Seems I'm subscribed, with notifications, but I've just noted my lack of acknowledgement. Thanks for sharing your good work.
Thanks for joining us, lots to catch up on. Hope you enjoy some of our other videos. 😊
I used to work on the railway in the 80s i was about 14 and sold programmes with bob jones and used to go out fishing with him on his boat
Thank you thank you thank you. This is, by far, one of the best travelogue style videos Ive seen for a long long time. It is well researched, well written, beautifully photographed, and is one of finest packages of its type.
I’ve just come across this video by chance and have liked and subscribed.
I have been to Lynton and Lynmouth on every visit we’ve made to Devon. We love the places.
If you are ever looking for any inspiration for more Devonian locations, My personal favourite location in North Devon is Bideford and especially Appledore. Centering on Irsha Street where most of the seaward cottages, now holiday lets, were independent boat/gig builders.
Still! Once again well done, on a most enjoyable and professionally produced video.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. Very kind of you, and really keeps us going making new ones. Hope you enjoy some of our other videos we have quite a few for you to catch up on!
Great suggestions as well. I know Bideford and Appledore quite well the Instow Arms is a great place for a sunset drink! We have them on the list for a future visit.
@@MemorySeekers A little tip that might be of interest, if you go to Appledore in the summer season, the towns silver band hold free Monday evening concerts on the promenade, opposite the Seagate pub. They are very very good always well attended, and might just add something different to a video.
@@billmorris8358 Wonderful, great tip that would be lovely to hear! Thank you and noted!
Another great video guys x
Thank you!
An ingeneous invention 'the clifftop water powered cable lift'
That sign needs to change to seagull's are not dangerous humans are.
Great video I and my family often stay in Lynmouth.
This was quite nice
Thank you
Quite outstanding it's good to see my homeland
Lynton and Lynmouth with steep hills, went there in the 1980s when I went on holiday to Butlins, Minehead.
I just found your channel and watched this video. Oh my, this is bringing back some great memories on walking the coastpath many years ago (1991😮). We are planning to visit 🇬🇧 with our campervan next year.
Your video are splendidly done. Thank you. A new subscriber from the Netherlands👍🏻
Welcome aboard! So glad we were able to stir some memories of your previous trip! 😊
Fantasic viewing thankyou
Thanks👋👍👏🏼
Cingratulaition 👍👋👋🌍
