Having heard about the scenic setting of Lynton & Lynmouth cricket ground decided to take a detour on our journet to Cornwall to see for ourselves. Was not disappointed with stunning coostal views and great walks. Ferrel goats roaming about on the rocks. Made the mistake of driving out using the toll road, a narrow climbing road with sharp bends, the hedgerows had not been trimmed for some time and have scratches on cat to prove it!…

From Lynton this walk is super easy, short mostly flat, well maintained tarmac paths. Nice cafe near the car park too . The Valley of the rocks provides some terrific views against a backdrop of jagged edged rock formations. There are some nice little detours to the walk for those who want to venture onto some of the rock features, none are overly difficult and they also provide great views. Anyone staying in Lynton or Lynmouth who doesn't make the effort to visit here is definitely missing out and there's aways lots of Wild Goats to photograph too. It can get quite busy though as many people drive to the Valley, saying that, its still a big enough area the grab a bit of space. 4 stars would have been 5 but for the shortness and easiness of the walk.…

Rather than parking up near the valley of the rocks car park walk from Lynton instead you get a much better view on approach, stopping on a bench over looking the sea by the rocks you can see almost the whole of the south coast of wales on a good day. This place has a special quality its high granite shapes and forms tower over you like something you would see on Bodmin moor or Dartmoor, there is much more to explore if you climb a little.…

We took the path leading from by the Valley of the Rocks Hotel in Lynton. On leaving Lynton the path becomes less wide, but it is in very good condition. The only thing we were a little wary of, was, it hugs the cliff edge and without a rail it was a bit scary when gusts of wind blew. The scenery with all the rock formations makes for an interesting walk. There are several paths which lead back to the road on the land side. Because of the windy conditions we took the road back into Lynton.…
