Harbour Point - Area & Videos

Views, Comfort, Space and so much more .......

Lynmouth

The area has a spectacular combination of sweeping moorland with steep, rugged, tree-clad cliffs and gorges and enticing sheltered sandy bays. It is located within Exmoor National Park which covers 265 square miles, and remains as wild and beautiful as in the days of R D Blackmore’s Lorna Doone. On the moor the red deer and wild ponies roam free, and with a lattice work of bridal paths, it is a haven for ramblers and horse riders.

Lynmouth is an ideal base from which to tour, with many major attractions within a couple of hours drive.

Bustling with visitors during the day, Lynmouth returns to being a sleepy, peaceful  village at night.

The village of Lynmouth has a thatched pub, The Rising Sun, several hotels and restaurants, cafes and shops. There is the oldest working water-operated cliff railway, linking Lynmouth to Lynton with its many eating places. A railway line is also open from Woody Bay! 

The harbour at Lynmouth is full of boats and dinghies. Boat trips along the coast can also be taken from Lynmouth Harbour and sea fishing trips can be arranged.

Visit the Valley of the Rocks with its spectacular rock formations and views of the sea. Here you will see herds of the famous wild goats that roam over the rocks.

For walkers in the West Country, Lynmouth is idyllic. 

Coastal walks on the beach, woodland walks to Watersmeet and Simonsbath, moorland walks across the whole of Exmoor - what more could you wish for!

Exmoor

This beautiful moor teems with wildlife from red deer to birds of prey and of course the famed wild ponies.  4 wheel drive safaris are available for you to discover Exmoors rich histrory.

Why not drive to the Blue Ball Inn on Countisbury Hill, go for a long countryside walk then retire back to the pub for a spot of liquid refreshment?
