Very picturesque and features a fantastic piece of engineering. A hill side railway lift operated by water, a hydro lift. A must visit Cafe not far from the top is Charlie Fridays award winning and really quirky. The cakes and Ginger/ beetroot smoothie was amazing.

One of the most beautiful & interesting railways in the country. Absolutely stunning 😍 I grew up in Lynton & Lynmouth & used to ride the railway to school in Lynton. Always had a special place in my heart & hope to return to live there again sometime soon.

I had a wonderful experience riding the Cliff Railway. The views from the top were amazing, and it wasn't crowded. We took the railway up and walked down. There are shops and cafés at the top.

Always enjoyed using the cliff railway when holidaying in the area over the last 20 years. Spectacular views and amazing staff who are always great with visitors. Unfortunately since the pandemic they no longer have return fares and have shorter opening hours and no longer take cash ( including the cafe) which has lovely cream teas. Well worth a visit and we will be back every time we visit the area

Great place to visit. The railway was a hit! Well priced. Queue was pretty small when we arrived but much busier later. However moves quite fast. Definitely recommend a trip if visiting
