Valley of the Rocks

Reviewed By Lilacwheaty - Nottingham, United Kingdom

Fabulous rocky outcrop that invites you to do a bit of "lite" climbing and jumping from rock to rock (this was more fun in my 20s than in my late 50s) Stunning views along the coastline and can walk back to Lynton/ Lynmouth from here to get the most of the scenery

Burrowhayes Farm Riding Stables

Reviewed By Vanlifemum - Bristol, United Kingdom

Discovered this campsite this year. Love it!! Well run and friendly family run campsite. Really welcoming. We liked it so much we stayed twice in August. Great location. Welcomes dogs. Good walks through surrounding woodland to Porlock, Porlock Weir and the beach. We were in the second field which has a slope so if you're in a van (we were) you'll need blocks to level the van. This will definitely become a favourite place to visit.

Dunster Castle

Reviewed By soundmary

We had a fantastic day out at Dunster Castle, the volunteers and staff were lovely to chat to, the gentleman who did our attic tour was really knowledgable and interesting, that tour is well worth doing. We wished we had been able to come when the mill was in operation but the volunteers there were very good at making it come alive and explaining how it all worked. The gardens are also very beautiful and you could spend a long time just wandering. We also had a meal in the cafe by the mill and a cup of tea by the castle, all very good.

An ancient ford crossing with a lovely riverside walk. The pub nearby serves great food and beer - it's a perfect summer destination if you have children and/or dogs.
