As you know, it's not often that we get the chance for a night away - but seeing a gap in the diary we jumped at the opportunity for a day and night away...
. we decided to visit Lynton for a proper explore, eating at North Coast Café, The Crown and staying for a night at the fabulous Highcliffe House.
The weather was very favourable so we made the most of it by walking from Lynton up to Hollerday Hill, after a breakfast bagel at North Coast Cafe and a good look round the lovely Ginger Nut, to view the intriguing remains of Hollerday Hill House, then up to the site of the Iron Age Hill Fort. From there we walked to the stunning Valley of Rocks and climbed to the summit (almost) of Castle Rock.
Then we wandered back into town, had some vegan Scone action back at North Coast Cafe... then explored the back streets before walking up to Barbrook along side the West Lyn River, then back up to the site of the Lynton railway station before meandering back to Highcliffe and a meal at The Crown.
We loved our stay at Highcliffe House perched high above the town and can highly recommend it alongside Southcliffe, Lynton for anyone staying in Lynton & Lynmouth ..
. now we are back and ready for today's arrivals at The Earlsdale ... but here are some pix from our 24 hour adventure!
See you all soon...
