We visited the Cliff Railway on our last day due to the weather. It was well worth the visit, we parked in Lynmouth by the harbour which may i point out is FREE for 2 hours.

A very well engineered ride powered by water only! Great view and a much needed ride when going back up to Lynton, as walking is pretty tough unless you've been in training! More
