Lynton
Lynton lies on a cliff overlooking Lynmouth. It is a Victorian town full of touristy shops selling Rock (a must-try) jams and souvenirs. You can walk down the narrow streets, go to the many cafes, tearooms, and a Toy Museum to visit. There is also a Poet’s coastal walk, where you can read poems about the area as you walk – what a cute idea and a joy to read.
One of the best things to do in Lynton is to go on the water-powered Cliff Railway, which has been operating since 1890. It is a popular North Devon attraction for anyone who wants to visit the two towns. Don’t look down. You can have a Cream Tea in the grade II listed Cliff Top Cafe at the top.
Lynmouth
Hands down, Lynmouth is one of the best places to go in North Devon because it is a beautiful coastal area. It lies just below Lynton, which means that people usually visit both places at the same time. You can enjoy a steep walk down or up between the two or catch the Cliff Railway if you prefer. It is steep, though. We enjoyed walking around the harbour, watching the surfers and enjoying a coffee in our favourite cute café – The Coffee Mill. There is Mini Golf too, and you can visit the Flood Memorial to learn about the devastating flood that took the lives of 34 people in 1952.
Nearby, you can visit Watersmeet, a National Trust-owned attraction where the East Lyn River and the Hoar Oak Water meet. It is a beautiful green woodland area that boasts a cute café – The Watersmeet Tea Room, where you can unwind in a beautiful setting. If you want serenity – Watersmeet is your answer. It is a great spot to take some silky pictures of the rolling water.

Only one mile from Lynton is the grand and breathtaking Valley of the Rocks formed during the last Ice Age. This spot is the perfect place to watch the sun go down over the valley. You may spot some wild goats, too. Although we were not so lucky, we have been assured that they roam the area. We did, however, enjoy a scramble along the rocks and enjoyed walking along the coastal path. The Valley of the Rocks had Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye vibes. It is a valley of rocks – an incredible natural phenomenon. It deserves a spot on the list of the best walks in North Devon!
If you choose to park here, there is a pay and display car park, or you can do what we did and park for free (only 2 hours) in Lynton and walk from there (it takes about 20-minutes)! Scrambling on the rocks is one of the best free things to do in North Devon.

You can get the ferry to Lundy Island from Ilfracombe. It is known to be a wonderful place where you can go to spot local wildlife, such as Puffins, crab and seals. The National Trust owns it, and it is where the Bristol Channel and the Atlantic Ocean meet. It is small, but it is one of the best places to visit in North Devon because you can snorkel, swim, dive and walk.
It takes 2 hours to arrive by ferry, so it is an extension of your trip, but you are looking for a remote, unspoilt and secluded spot. Lundy Island is for you. Some people call it the Galapagos of the UK because of the wildlife. You can decide whether you want to go on a day trip or if you want to stay overnight.

If you are looking for the best beach in North Devon, then Woolacombe one gets many votes and is, therefore, one of the best places to go in North Devon. Of course, it has won plenty of awards, including the Best British Beach award and the Blue Flag award. It was Tripadvisors 20th best beach in the world in 2020. When we visited, it was full of people enjoying themselves, surfing, playing on the three-mile sandy beach and exploring the charming town. You can stop in the Tourist Information Centre to ask about what’s around the area, relax on the beach, or swim in the ocean. It shows that there’s plenty of free things to do in North Devon.
