From the shops at the top use the historic furnicular railway with stunning views that links Lynton and Lynmouth and find the beach, fish and chip shop, museum and lovely inns
Lynton and Lynmouth are approx 30min drive over Porlock Hill and the views are breathtaking on a clear day. The Cliff Railway is unique and worth a visit. There are also lots of independent shops and places to eat.

Zoo
“Watchet’s very own zoo! Don’t be put off by its fading elegance and the slightly shabby facade. A very unusual spot. Tropiquaria Zoo is one of the most unique zoos or wildlife parks in the country. The former "Art Deco" BBC radio transmitter station originally built in 1933, now houses the Tropical Hall, Nocturnal House and Aquarium. Outside there’s 4 acres of animal enclosures, along with two life sized pirate ships, and an adventure castle. A great place to take the kids on a wet or sunny day. We hear tell the animals come first and are very well cared for. A unique place, great fun and deserves support. ”
