Parking in Lynton provides you a beautiful costal path to the Valley of the Rocks. Please only choose if you are okay with steep pathways.

This captivating U-shaped dry valley, situated about half a mile west of Lynton, is famous for its herd of wild goats that roam the area, as well as its striking geological features. The valley offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, making it a popular spot for walkers.

This tour is beautiful and highly recommended. We had a drink down in Lynmouth and went back up on the water slide. Then we went to Charly's in Lynton.

It actually goes uphill and sometimes downhill, the path is actually easy to walk, but requires concentration and surefootedness!

You can't get lost - the path from Lynmouth to Watersmeet is well signposted! It always goes along the river and there are a few bridges to cross. Nobody needs to worry about the nearby street: you can't hear or see it, the water rushes far too loudly 😁
