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 piece of engineering. The driver was very knowledgeable of the local area and really friendly with our dog and baby. Great experience. £3.50 per adult is a bargain seeing as you a riding on a historic cliff railway and the money goes back into maintaining it and keeping it running for years to come!At the top we went into the cafe and had cream teas, the best we've had. Freshly baked scones 👍As others have mentioned, we parked at the valley of rocks and then took the coastal path.

Stopped by while on holiday and had a lovely little ride to the top & back – staff are so friendly and it's amazing just to marvel at the feat of engineering!There might be a queue but it moves quickly!

A truly iconic place. Friendly people, incredible views. A lot of people moaning about the cost but it's not expensive for the chance to ride on something so special. We are lucky to have this. The views from the top are breathtaking and the ice cream shop at the exit from lynton is also spectacular. I came here with my parents probably about 30 years ago. It's magnificent to be able to come here again and relive the memories. Thank you

Lovely ride up on the water powered attraction very smooth . £3,50 each , each way I would definitely suggest getting the railway up gas its very steep then just roll down the footpath on the way down . Enjoy!
