Looking for an afternoon out we came across the '21 Mile Drive' map on the 'Visit Lynton & Lynmouth' website Explore/Scenic Drives.... Narrow lanes running along cliff tops with glorious sea views and winding down through deep wooded valleys by fast flowing rivers, we spent a relaxing afternoon driving around this spectacular figure of eight drive. On the way round we parked up a couple of times to take short walks in the afternoon sunshine; as I said a lovely afternoon drive.....

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

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.

Devon's famous Lynton & Lynmouth funicular Cliff Railway is the most exciting way to travel between these two historic towns & will be the highlight of any visit. Enjoy stunning views of the North Devon Coastline as you ride the steepest totally water powered railway in the world or relax in our Cliff Top Cafe with a traditional Devon Cream Tea. This historic Victorian railway opened in 1890. The 862 feet of track rises 500 feet with an impressive gradient of 57% providing stunning views across Lynmouth Bay. The railway is a fully working listed heritage monument is the UK's only fully water powered railway and one of only three examples left in the world.
7. Watersmeet House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 809 reviews
Where the lush valleys of Hoar Oak Water and the East Lyn river tumble together sits Watersmeet House, a 19th-century fishing lodge, now a National Trust shop, tea room and information point. Watersmeet House was built in 1832 as a fishing lodge by the Reverend W.S. Halliday, the son of a rich businessman. The stone for the house was quarried at Watersmeet, above the East Lyn River. Sitting in a beautiful wooded river valley, Watersmeet and its surrounds are a fantastic place to walk, and enjoy the abundant wildlife and nature of this part of Exmoor.

Great place to explore on a mountain bike or walking, one of the great unspoilt spots to relax and see the stars from the viewpoint on top of the hill Some more cycle routes would be lots of fun!
9. Wild Pear Beach

Reviewed By 415briant - Sherborne, United Kingdom
This beautiful little beach is just off the South West coast path about a mile to the east of Combe Martin. You can access it from the sea by hired kayak or walk down a steep uneven path. The last bit onto the beach is by rope handrail. If you are not that mobile then give it a miss but if you are up for the challenge then do it. It is quiet,beautiful and secluded. Apparently it is also a naturist beach although when I went there was not any nude people,maybe it was too cold. Ah well,next time maybe
