Disadvantages: I didnt want to leave

I had the pleasure of visiting Devon back in May of this year and took a trip to Lynton & Lynmouth. I have put these two villages together Lynmouth lies at the bottom of Lynton.

We took a carriage ride down the side of a large hill on the Cliff railway which takes you down to Lynmouth village on the northern edge of the west country peninsula in beautiful Exmoor. Rivers and waterfalls wend their way through wooded valleys leading through to the sea, creating the most beautiful village and countryside i have ever seen. The victorians used to call it Little Switzerland.

I felt that i had stepped back in time and the sheer beauty of this village had a profound effect on me and i knew if i could, i would live very happily here. The village is abundant with little cottages and quaint curiosity shops and cafes and i felt all i wanted to do was sit and watch the water tumbling over the rocks.

The downside of this village is its history. Thirty-four people lost their lives in the Lynmouth flood disaster in August 1952 after continuous rain, which caused the rivers to flood and cascading waters and rocks ran through the village. There is a centre in the village which records the disaster and various markers show how high the waters reached.

If you ever visit Devon, please do not miss out on this village. When you turn the corner off the main coast road and the sheer beauty hits you, it will make you stop and take the breath away. Spectacular!

Summary: Lynmouth is a must see, Incredibly Beautiful Village in Devon
