On the Devon coast, at the very edge of Exmoor, is the stunning town of Lynmouth. Its pretty harbor, little boats, and delicious food offer a unique experience where the present meets the past. Located on the confluence of two rivers, this town sits along the Bristol Channel, a summer destination with magnificent walks, wild goats, and fantastic scenery. Take the remarkable, water-powered Cliff Railway to reach the Victorian town of Lynton 700 ft (210 m) above sea level. The picturesque views will make you appreciate the finer things you can find only in England’s romantic little towns. You don’t have to be a landscape painter to appreciate the natural beauty of this part of Devon, also known as “Little Switzerland.” If you can’t wait for a tranquil retreat, check out the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Lynmouth, UK.
