Lynton and Lynmouth, described as England’s ‘Little Switzerland’ since the late 1700s are situated on the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within Exmoor National Park.

The Visit Lynton & Lynmouth website contains information on places to explore and things to do in the area.

One of North Devon’s most renowned landmarks, and almost literally on The Denes’s doorstep, is the Valley of Rocks. This dry valley runs parallel to the North Devon coast and is noted for the spectacular geological formations, its wild goats, and its stunning views. Watching the sunset from Hollerday Hill or one of the other craggy outcrops in the valley is a great way to end the day.
