South West Coast Path – Valley of Rocks Cliffs

Highlight • Gorge

It is not helpful to create the same highlight over and over again.
It is even less helpful to keep writing the same bla-bla just to collect a few more points

Valley of Rocks

Highlight • Gorge

One of the most incredible natural features of the North Devon coastline, the Valley of Rocks is a dry valley with steep cliffs and sea views. As you walk through here, keep an eye out for feral goats nibbling plants on precipitous rocks and bounding about with no care for the dramatic drops below. The goats have lived here for hundreds of years, although had to be reintroduced in the 70s after extreme winters in the 60s decimated the population.

St Mary the Virgin Church and Graveyard, Lynton

Highlight • Religious Site

A parish church reconstructed in 1891 to 1905 by Sedding and Wilson but with a 13th-century tower and the remains of rebuilding works undertaken in 1741 in the south aisle.

Lynton Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Lynton presents itself as Victorian and dignified in the small center. There are a few tea rooms, shopping areas and hotels. The steep streets are quickly explored, but there is still the much livelier Lynmouth "downstairs"
It's a matter of taste which you like more, both places certainly have their charm!
