The Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway is a unique and historic attraction located in the picturesque town of Lynmouth. This railway is a funicular, which means it is a cable-operated railway that moves up and down a steep incline. The railway was first opened in 1890 and has been in operation ever since, making it one of the oldest and most beloved attractions in the area.
The railway consists of two cars that are connected by a cable. The cars are designed to counterbalance each other, so as one car goes up the incline, the other goes down. The railway is powered by a water-driven system, which is a testament to the ingenuity of the engineers who designed it over a century ago.
The railway is a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the Bristol Channel. The journey takes just a few minutes, but it is a thrilling experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
At the top of the railway, visitors can explore the charming town of Lynton, which is known for its quaint shops, cafes, and restaurants. At the bottom of the railway, visitors can explore the picturesque town of Lynmouth, which is situated at the mouth of the East Lyn River.
Overall, the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the area. It is a unique and historic landmark that offers a thrilling ride and stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
