Lynton and West Somerset Railway

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to the Valley of the Rocks Hotel, Lynton for four nights.

Today's excursion takes across beautiful Exmoor, calling at medieval Dunster, home to over 200 listed buildings.

We continue to the popular seaside town of Minehead and join the West Somerset Railway for a journey taking in the glorious scenery of the Quantock Hills.

Enjoy a day to relax in Lynton. Located on the rugged coastline, the South West Coast Path passes through the town and offers stunning local walks taking in the magnificent cliffs of the Valley of Rocks.

Alternatively, join our optional excursion to Ilfracombe – a jewel on the North Devon Coast. Be charmed by the white-washed buildings, grand Victorian villas and cosmopolitan vibe of this seaside resort.

Trip calling firstly at Barnstaple – the county town of North Devon. There are a number of town trails that take in the 17th century alms houses, the old bridge and the pretty churches and chapels. There are many shopping opportunities including the traditional pannier market, the usual high street shops, and independent retailers offering quirky and local crafts and specialities.

Our day out continues as we make our way to pretty Bideford, with its thriving shopping centre and busy harbour. Once Britain's third largest port, with its name derived from by-the-ford, the tree-lined quay still bustles with fishing vessels, cargo and pleasure boats.
