Exmoor National Park Centre, Lynmouth - Lynmouth

Lynmouth is a small village with a water powered cliff railway that cost £3.75 each way payment by card only that takes you up to Lynton,.
There are shops, cafes and bars in the village of Lynton.
There is a nice footpath to walk back down the hill that gives great views of the village and surrounding countryside.
The water spouts that are quite prominent are situated in glen gorge.
There's a 18 hole putting green and a large grassed area with seats on the main path across the river from the main road.
The main road past the harbour runs to a car park at the end of the esplanade along which the cliff railway is situated.
There is plenty of access to the river and fairly level grass banks to relax on, paddling in the river is also easy to get to if the water level allows.
There are ladies toilets and disability toilets on the esplanade, men need to use the disabled toilets and they cost 50p.
The main beach is made up mainly of rock and unsuitable for sunbathing.
Buses run to Lynton from Barnstaple, Ilfracombe and Minehead.

I'm Chinese tourist and I experienced racism. We took our takeaway food and the beer we had bought from the Ancient Mariner to the opposite side of the street, eating in the sea wind (because we had been expelled for bringing food from another shop, even though the pub wasn’t serving food at 3:30 p.m.). Then the manager came with a cheap and ugly plastic cup and told us to pour our beer from the glass into the plastic one, saying we would be fined if we didn’t. However, two local lads next to us were allowed to enjoy their beers in glass cups.

as you descend from the alley that starts from the top of the hill right at the end of the cliff railway, you reach this place where you can relax with a coffee or eat something and admire the sea. they also have an information center there with souvenirs and the lady is very nice. there are also toilets.

Great source of information. We received a warm welcome and got graet hints for hikes in Exmoor.

Excellent coffee and tea upstairs.

Right on the Harbour front at Lynmouth is this amazing place.
The National Park Center is full of information about the local area and the Exmoor National park. I visited here because I was welcoming a walker, (Becky) who was completing the Two Moors Walk. 160K of hills, wild camping and beautiful scenery. The center holds a book that records the names and dates of all the walkers who have passed that way. The Walker statue is right across the Esplanade and is a landmark statue that sits at the end of many walks.
The staff were great and really got involved with the event and welcomed and congratulated Becky on her walk.
There is also a cafe upstairs which is awesome so be sure to stop for refreshments too.
