The Lynton to Lynmouth Cliff Railway
In the 19th century, the high cliffs separating Lynton from Lynmouth were a major obstacle to economic development. The twin villages mainly relied on sea transport because land travel was extremely difficult over Exmoor. Coal, lime, foodstuffs and other essentials arrived at Lynmouth in sailing vessels, but this freight had to be carried by packhorses or in horse drawn carts up the steep hill to Lynton until the cliff railway offered an alternative. Nowadays over 300,000 visitors enjoy the journey every year to take in the stunning views of Exmoor’s coastline.
