Day 3 – The Victorian Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, and colourful RHS Garden Rosemoor
This morning your coach takes you to Woody Bay, stopping along
the way at the Valley of the Rocks. This dramatic section of
coastline on the northern edge of Exmoor, is the perfect place for
a photo with spectacular views of the seascape. Reaching Woody Bay,
a serene bay surrounded by the scenery of Exmoor National Park,
your group boards the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway.
From your genuine 1890s carriage, relax and take in the backdrop
of wild moorland and picturesque coastline on a two-mile round
trip. Next, your coach drives you to Lynton, a pretty coastal town.
With time at leisure, over lunch, you could ride the Lynton &
Lynmouth Cliff Railway. This award-winning funicular railway joins
the historic towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, separated by a steep
cliff, with incredible views across the coast and ocean.
This afternoon, your group visits the enchanting RHS Garden
Rosemoor. After a guided tour of the beautiful gardens, there's
time to explore at your own pace. Stroll through the kaleidoscopic
displays, including an elegant rose garden with around 2,000 rose
plants, the 'hot garden' - where plants are chosen for their warm
hues, and a garden filled with a huge variety of fruit and
vegetables.
