Parking in Lynton provides you a beautiful costal path to the Valley of the Rocks. Please only choose if you are okay with steep pathways.

This tour is beautiful and highly recommended. We had a drink down in Lynmouth and went back up on the water slide. Then we went to Charly's in Lynton.

It actually goes uphill and sometimes downhill, the path is actually easy to walk, but requires concentration and surefootedness!
