These two pretty villages are situated within Exmoor National Park, just along the coast from the Valley of Rocks formations and surrounded by spectacular scenery. Lynton is located 500 feet above its twin village of Lynmouth and the villages are connected by the olde-worlde funicular railway that offers wonderful views across the bay.

Today enjoy some free time in Ilfracombe which is described as the jewel of the North Devon coast. Be charmed by the white-washed buildings, grand Victorian villas and cosmopolitan vibe of this seaside resort.
We also enjoy an included Cliffs & Caves cruise from the harbour. Sit back and admire the stunning scenery of Exmoor National Park which is home to some of the highest cliffs in the UK, such as the Great Hangman at 1043ft. Exmoor is also home to many nesting birds – bring your binoculars and enjoy a spot of birdwatching as we gently glide across the waters. You might also be lucky enough to see dolphins & seals!
