Have a romantic time in England’s Little Switzerland
Whether you’re just passing through or visiting for a weekend trip, every moment spent in this romantic town is worth it. English poets, such as Wordsworth and Shelley, also came to visit this town and loved it. Robert Southey even dubbed Lynton and Lynmouth as the “little Switzerland” of the UK for their picturesque sceneries. With our recommended Airbnb vacation rentals, we hope you enjoy this destination as much as the poets did.
