Rob and me have walked up the road to the top twice it was really great but now we can only car it up the hill lovely video thanks for sharing mair and robert owen❤
You gents are genuinely gifted with an uncanny talent in creating exquisite, high interest vids. I was a tv news videographer for 20 years (until my shoulders gave out). You inspire me to take my iPhone out on weekends and see what local stories I can find. Your talent for storytelling with pictures is something not many on TH-cam have❤❤❤Thank you for all you do for us.❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️
Hi Jeff thank you so much for your lovely comment and for supporting us on Ko-Fi. Means a lot that you and others are enjoying our videos and getting something from them. 😊👍
Brilliantly filmed and expertly narrated; I can’t praise you and your channel videos enough! I have added these two towns to my list of places to visit. I nominate you for Tourism Ambassador of the UK😊You show the world the beauty of your country with every amazing video you film. Thank you for bringing us all along on your fantastic travels.
Thank You Simon and Will!! In spite of being unable to afford to travel anywhere at this time, your videos are a great intro to each of the areas. Reading about it is NOT the same as actually watching to see what these areas look like and what a "fincula" actually is. In the US it's called something else that the coal miners used in Pittsburgh, PA and parts of West Virginia. But I can't remember what it's called because I don't live there. Last BUT NOT least, watching your videos are great for your mental health. Cheers and Hugs from NYC
I visited Lynton and Lynmouth a few years ago. I had wanted a go on the funicular for years! And the Valley of the Rocks was spectacular for views of the coastline. In the hot weather we had it felt positively Mediterranean. Thank you so much for the memory jogs, in yet another wonderful video. Always a pleasure to watch😀.
What a lovely 😍 & relaxing video 😊 some times life looks harder & depressed but your videos always give a hope that world is a better place to live & enjoy, I appreciate whole heartedly for your blog with most beautiful & astonishing contents ever seen on TH-cam till date... no other blogger video I ever love to watch as much as I do your's especially England series or any other location no matter what, your videos are always on next level ❤😊 thank u & with best wishes for more
These beautiful small villages that you are visiting are a step back in time. Away from the cities there seems to be a totally different feel where you can see that the communities care about their environment. The tidal distance between low and high is really amazing, you wouldn't want to fall asleep on the beach =-( . Thank you as always for my tiki tour to an English village. I always wonder whether my ancestors walked the footpaths that you show. Take care.
What would Sunday morning be without sitting in bed with a cuppa watching one of your lovely trips before I start the day ❤ such lovely places and as a railway fan I love the see the old lines reopened as tourist rails. Its also interesting watching from Australia to see the opposite seasons, you heading to summer as we head into winter. Thanks again for another lovely show. Cheers, Cheryl 🙂
Ah yes winter is just around the corner. We are so glad to start having some better weather it’s been a very wet and grey winter and we have missed the sun!
Was here n 2019 it was absolutely roasting, a big favourite. We took the wee cable train to the top, it was a perfect day and a beautiful drive from Somerset. We even saw some ponies . 🐨🥰
Absolutely wonderful! The fantastic views, and charming features of each town. That is some serious shingle! The water-powered funicular is so interesting, and I loved when the driver waved at you. The area does have an Alpine feel; I first rode a funicular up to the Fortress in Salzburg, Austria. For years I've heard about the ancient English practice of using small fields surrounded by hedgerows, especially on hillsides. So scenic, as well as providing an environment for birds and other wildlife. It made me think of that episode of the old series, To The Manor Born, where the new owner wanted to rip them out in favor of 'corporate' farming methods. Terrible! Where would the hedgehogs live? ;D Your videos are always a lovely treat! :)
Lovely place! I was born in Minehead, so this brings back memories. The hill down from Exmoor into Lynmouth is Countisbury (rather than Countisby) Hill.
A stunning part of England, presented with great professionalism. Thanks again guys, you just reaffirmed my(Ian) view that traveling around the UK would never be uninteresting. Wonderful.
Two beautiful villages, wonderfully presented, thank you. Your explanation and video of the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway were very interesting and left me wanting to visit in order to ride up the cliff.
Absolutely gobsmackedly beautiful place!!! I found the funicular railway quite fascinating, although I did have some trouble understanding the mechanics of the system. But the coastal views are just stunning and beautiful beyond description! 😍. Thank you again for your excellent work.
Hermosos paisajes y como siempre todo muy bien cuidado . Acá en Valparaíso tenemos muchos ascensores ya que hay muchos cerros. La mayoría de éllos no funciona por falta de dinero he interés . Hay un ascensor llamado Reina Victoría.
This was an absolutely stunning video. You have visited so many wonderful places but I think is the best yet. I can't imagine being fortunate enough to live in such beauty and history. You never disappoint, that's for sure. I always look forward to your new videos. Have a wonderful day guys 🙂
Lynton and Lynmouth just happened to be my dad favourite place so it brings back happy memories ,in 1963 there was a mobile fish and chip van in Lynmouth most evenings
My parents lived in Lynton for 15 years and i lived there for 5 years and seriously you have covered everything, thank you so much, really enjoyed your masterpiece! Still live in Devon!
Another fab video.Always enjoyable,and informative. Very watchable with excellent narration,as always.Never a disappointment, and a happy time when discovering a new video has been added.Thankyou.😊
As usual, I loved this video bout Lynton!!! You show us so many beauties even in a small village!!! It's all that I've dreamed many many years ago!!!Thank you one more time for your wonderful videos! Thay make my days much better!!! Neusa Helena🌳🌷
Each of your videos is a treat, beautiful photography along with interesting and informative commentary, it makes me wish I lived in England so I too could visit these charming villages! Oh, and that plate of fish and chips, along with what looked like a glass of cider, mmm, mmm, I could almost taste it. Thank you for doing this fabulous videos, and sharing your beautiful country with us!!
Travelled that coastal road, it was terrifying for me as I hate heights. As well as the steepest road I’ve ever seen! But they are beautiful places as is Porlock where we camped years ago.
Hi Simon and Will. Hope you’re both doing well. Lynton/Lynmouth area really has every kind of landscape and seascape views a person could possibly want. And if you’re not so outdoorsy, you can nip into the quaint local shops, museums, churches etc. Something for everyone. Thanks again for sharing. ❤
At £3.50 one way the Cliff railway is very expensive. Seven pence per foot. £37 per mile. It may be the most expensive transport in the UK. In 2018 an adult return ticket was £3.90, daily pass £10, weekly pass £20. Your production wouldn't look out of place on the BBC's travel show.
Дякую вам за екскурсію! Краєвиди дійсно приголомшливі! Якщо бракує слів, що би описати враження от цієї краси, побаченої в комп'ютері, то що відбувається з людьми, які бачать все це вживу? 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💕💕
I visited Lynton and Lynmouth back in the mid-1990s and it hasn't change one bit. The west country remains Britain's best kept secret, but now and then a few of us Yanks find our way there and savor the experience. I enjoyed the best mutton sandwich of my life in Lynmouth. Not only is the area beautiful and charming, the people were wonderful. Thank you for refreshing fond memories.
Beautiful video. Music, excellent. Seems I'm subscribed, with notifications, but I've just noted my lack of acknowledgement. Thanks for sharing your good work.
My favourite place in the UK, absolutely beautiful, best pint of Tribute in the Rose an Crown, Great Sunday roast there too. Watersmeet, Valley of the rocks and Woody Bay are great walks. You really should have walked the coastal path to valley of the rocks some of the most beautiful scenery in this country its incredible.
Very enjoyable, Simon, what lovely weather. Must check out your Parracombe video as we lived on the moors nearly as a young 'un. Certainly looks all very spick & span - and isn't the Cliff Railway brilliant - why aren't there more of such perfectly formed modes of transport?! Happy travels, looking forward to Dunster, hope you made the castle it's worth a detour - mind you there's a lot to see in North Devon - quite a contrast to South (where the family are now based.) And I can't belive you saw so many goats - they must have more, I've never seen them!!
Thanks for that absolutely excellent video. You really take us to the beauties The UK has got. I adore your videos. Thank you and keep doing such wonderful videos.
A fair amount of damage there from just 9.1 inches in 24 hours. I once emptied an overflowing 6 inch rain gauge 6 times in under 36 hours here in North Queensland during 1 of the more extreme cyclonic deluges. Within 3 days of the rain ceasing you could drive to Cairns Via Kuranda which recorded 7 feet of rain in the week! A hillside on the farm did slip and fill the water supply dam though. 😱🙄
I remember this well. and read a book about it, written by the local police Constable, who was a real hero. He raised the alarm , and saved many lives, when he investigated the horiffic noise of a Avalanche of huge boulder's and massive trees thundered down the the river's narrow Gorge, smashing everything in it's path. Google, 'The Lymouth Disaster.'
Speaking of goats, in one of his episodes, Paul Murton/GrandTour of the Scottish Islands spoke of goats that scared off Nazis during WWII. They had come ashore to get water, heard the goats & abandoned mission! They mistook the noises for patrols. -Fun facts to know & share🧐
Love this video. I’m enjoying watching ur past videos. It means so much to not only see the beautiful scenery but the history &significance of so many things. I applaud u both & thank u for such well done videos! U have a new follower & fan in me 😉🥰
Thank you for joining us, as you go further back, you'll see how we have (I hope) improved over the years do this. So of our older videos could do with some TLC!😊
It was really great to find your video on Lynton and Lynmouth. I've been going there regularly since I was a child it feels like home and so beautiful.
My wife and I visit virtually every year - love it - excuse if I missed you saying, but at what time of th years was this filmed please? Loved your presentation and made me want to be there now!
Yes I made a mistake there a few in the U.K. actually, having looked further. I put a note in the first comment about this correction last week. Thanks
SORRY; BUT THE FUNICULARE IS NOT THE ONLYONE IN THE WORLD; WITCH RUNS BY WATER. IN WIESBADEN IN GERMANY THERE IS A ANOTHERONE, CALLED THE NEROBERGBAHN. How the Nerobergbahn works The mountain railway at the foot of the Neroberg in Wiesbaden was opened on 25 September 1888 and has been transporting visitors up Wiesbaden's local mountain at a speed of 7.3 km/h ever since. This works by means of a sophisticated drive mechanism: at the top station, the carriage is filled with up to 7,000 litres of water and then pulls the other carriage uphill on a steel cable. Once the downhill trolley has reached the bottom, the water is drained and pumped uphill again. Greetings from German and always looking foreward to your videos 😘
Hello, thank you for this correction. I did say only one in the UK and 3 in the world, others Portugal and Switzerland. You are certain right though one in Germany and in fact digging deeper than before there appears to be even more and a couple in UK so my research let me down this time. All the best. I will add a note to the first comment.
Thank you for your answer, i only knew about the funiculare, because i was there as a child and had a ride. I'm always very impressed about all the information and backround knowledge in your videos. I'm always looking forward to your next video.@@MemorySeekers
First off love your videos your camera work is perfection. But why in the world would anyone want to take an American Western themed picture in England?! Is that really a thing? And in front of a confederate flag to boot. LIKE WHY?!
Many thanks, glad you liked it. I think you can pick all sorts of costumes and backdrops, never seen the appeal myself. You usually see them as Victorians. People come from all over the world so I guess they must have had requests. As to why I guess only they know?? 😂
@@MemorySeekers I get the Victorian… I’d be all for a Victorian Bathing suit shot!!! LOL I’m just sitting here in the actual American west (Az) with this face🤨🙄
Beg to differ about the cliff railway being the only example in the UK. There is another of this water powered type of lift in Saltburn, North Yorkshire. Shorter it's true but working on the same principal.
You missed out the stupendous Life Boat rescue in the 19th century when people from Lynmouth hauled a life Boat from Lymouth over Porlock Hill by man and horse power to rescue the crew of a stricken Schooner in Porlock Bay
@@MemorySeekers True but glad he gave it a mench, I've seen a print of that somewhere, very impressive, almost a super human acheivement. Keep up the great work.
Looks a lovely place to visit and so scenic. They must have a good council. A few miles down the coast, Combe Martin and Ilfracombe are falling to bits and couldn't hold a candle to Lynton & Lynmouth.
We hope you enjoyed our visit to Lynton & Lynmouth and the lovely Valley of the Rocks!
*Correction There are more water powered funiculars than we mentioned in the video, there is one in Germany NEROBERGBAHN, also a couple of others in the UK we were not aware of*

I dont know how you do it. You seem to fill every camera angle with scenic gorgeousness. A definite talent!
Rob and me have walked up the road to the top twice it was really great but now we can only car it up the hill lovely video thanks for sharing mair and robert owen❤
Wow twice! It was one good workout!, it is actually quite hard to walk down it, so steep at times.
Visited here in 87, it rained like a sod and we took refuge in a pub 😂😂
We did a up n down on the cliff tram, then headed back to the pub 😉👍
I can think of worse places to have to hole up out of the rain 😂

Good morning 😊
Thank you for your videos. Recently used your channel as information for our visit to Scotland ❤
Great to hear they have been helpful. Hope you had a great trip in Scotland.
Another wonderful video. Very interesting history as well as a tragic event. Thank you. I look forward to next time!🥰
Yes it was tragic, it has recovered and the memories of those lost is still strong.
A stunning part of England, presented with great professionalism. Thanks again guys, you just reaffirmed my(Ian) view that traveling around the UK would never be uninteresting. Wonderful.

Very lovely 🥰 thank you for sharing this unique area. I would love 💕 to walk the Valley of the rocks and ride the train.
Hope one day you make it happen!
Memory Seekers ich kann mich wieder nur bedanken. Das war wunderbar.
Toll dieses Video 👍👋
Absolutely gobsmackedly beautiful place!!! I found the funicular railway quite fascinating, although I did have some trouble understanding the mechanics of the system. But the coastal views are just stunning and beautiful beyond description! 😍. Thank you again for your excellent work.
Loved this video! 💛 Once again, looking forwards to next week's already 😊
😊 thank you for watching 😊
Hermosos paisajes y como siempre todo muy bien cuidado .
Acá en Valparaíso tenemos muchos ascensores ya que hay muchos cerros.
La mayoría de éllos no funciona por falta de dinero he interés .
Hay un ascensor llamado Reina Victoría.
hemos estado en los ascensores en Valparaíso, fueron muy divertidos para evitar los cerros. No sabía que tenían nombres como Reina Victoria.
This was an absolutely stunning video. You have visited so many wonderful places but I think is the best yet. I can't imagine being fortunate enough to live in such beauty and history. You never disappoint, that's for sure. I always look forward to your new videos. Have a wonderful day guys 🙂

Beautiful countryside, pretty villages and scenic train rides.
Lynton and Lynmouth just happened to be my dad favourite place so it brings back happy memories ,in 1963 there was a mobile fish and chip van in Lynmouth most evenings
That coastline scenery is truly breathtaking. Another great video, guys. 😊
It really is stunning in this area, Valley of the Rocks just 🤩
Terrific video. Brings back great memories from 30 years ago. Is the huge model railway layout still exhibited in Lynton?
I believe the model railway is still there next to the old church that survived the flood but it was not open when we walked around.
Immer wieder tolle Videos, vor allem aus eurem schönen Heimatland
My parents lived in Lynton for 15 years and i lived there for 5 years and seriously you have covered everything, thank you so much, really enjoyed your masterpiece! Still live in Devon!

I absolutely loved visiting this place, sadly 15 years ago. Over due another visit 😊
Hope you make it back! 😊
@@MemorySeekers thank you. That is the plan for 2024 :)
Another delightful tour of beautiful towns and countryside.
Each of your videos is a treat, beautiful photography along with interesting and informative commentary, it makes me wish I lived in England so I too could visit these charming villages! Oh, and that plate of fish and chips, along with what looked like a glass of cider, mmm, mmm, I could almost taste it. Thank you for doing this fabulous videos, and sharing your beautiful country with us!!
Yes it was Exmoor cider and very nice as we sat by the sea. A most enjoyable day. 😊
lovely place, seemed it's lacking any migrants, which is a good thing.
you should also try the restaurants in your videos
Another lovely video! And as for next time....did someone say yarn market???😮🤩
I've got beef with a seagul down in Linton, it mugged me for me chips!
Oh no! They can be very vicious.
Travelled that coastal road, it was terrifying for me as I hate heights. As well as the steepest road I’ve ever seen! But they are beautiful places as is Porlock where we camped years ago.
The roads certainly can be challenging in places. Nice to hear you have visited.
Another wonderful video. Love all your tours. Thanks.
Wow. So Beautifull and interesting....greetings from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦🧓

Espectacular! Muchas gracias

Very enjoyable, Simon, what lovely weather. Must check out your Parracombe video as we lived on the moors nearly as a young 'un. Certainly looks all very spick & span - and isn't the Cliff Railway brilliant - why aren't there more of such perfectly formed modes of transport?! Happy travels, looking forward to Dunster, hope you made the castle it's worth a detour - mind you there's a lot to see in North Devon - quite a contrast to South (where the family are now based.) And I can't belive you saw so many goats - they must have more, I've never seen them!!
Sadly we didn't enter the castle as its owned by the National Trust and you need to jump through hoops to be allowed to film and show it on youtube.
I love this. It's travelling without travelling. Thank you so much, from Sydney.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for that absolutely excellent video. You really take us to the beauties The UK has got. I adore your videos. Thank you and keep doing such wonderful videos.
A delightful presentation as always. Thank you 👍
So nice of you ☺ Thank you!
Hmmmm, I never have seen waves come in sidewise. I've always seen them coming straight at you. Must be the alcove shape?
That sign needs to change to seagull's are not dangerous humans are.
Great video I and my family often stay in Lynmouth.
A fair amount of damage there from just 9.1 inches in 24 hours. I once emptied an overflowing 6 inch rain gauge 6 times in under 36 hours here in North Queensland during 1 of the more extreme cyclonic deluges. Within 3 days of the rain ceasing you could drive to Cairns Via Kuranda which recorded 7 feet of rain in the week! A hillside on the farm did slip and fill the water supply dam though. 😱🙄
Stunning scenery there though. In good weather the hiking along the coast would top walking the Edges in Derbyshire.
I remember this well. and read a book about it, written by the local police Constable, who was a real hero. He raised the alarm , and saved many lives, when he investigated the horiffic noise of a Avalanche of huge boulder's and massive trees thundered down the the river's narrow Gorge, smashing everything in it's path. Google, 'The Lymouth Disaster.'
Amazing video of amazing places. Thank you!
Speaking of goats, in one of his episodes, Paul Murton/GrandTour of the Scottish Islands spoke of goats that scared off Nazis during WWII.
They had come ashore to get water, heard the goats & abandoned mission! They mistook the noises for patrols.

My wife and I visit virtually every year - love it - excuse if I missed you saying, but at what time of th years was this filmed please? Loved your presentation and made me want to be there now!
Hi there we filmed it mid April this year 😊
Thankyou for these just gorgeous videos, much appreciated; enjoy the history you gather for them too.
Our pleasure!
Thankyou just enchanting .
So beautiful, that tram is a marvellous idea & built all those years ago. Thank you, another great tour 👍👍
Our pleasure! So glad you liked it.
Isn't there a similar water powered funicular in Folkestone?
Yes I made a mistake there a few in the U.K. actually, having looked further. I put a note in the first comment about this correction last week. Thanks
SORRY; BUT THE FUNICULARE IS NOT THE ONLYONE IN THE WORLD; WITCH RUNS BY WATER. IN WIESBADEN IN GERMANY THERE IS A ANOTHERONE, CALLED THE NEROBERGBAHN. How the Nerobergbahn works
The mountain railway at the foot of the Neroberg in Wiesbaden was opened on 25 September 1888 and has been transporting visitors up Wiesbaden's local mountain at a speed of 7.3 km/h ever since. This works by means of a sophisticated drive mechanism: at the top station, the carriage is filled with up to 7,000 litres of water and then pulls the other carriage uphill on a steel cable. Once the downhill trolley has reached the bottom, the water is drained and pumped uphill again.
Greetings from German and always looking foreward to your videos 😘
Hello, thank you for this correction. I did say only one in the UK and 3 in the world, others Portugal and Switzerland. You are certain right though one in Germany and in fact digging deeper than before there appears to be even more and a couple in UK so my research let me down this time. All the best. I will add a note to the first comment.
Thank you for your answer, i only knew about the funiculare, because i was there as a child and had a ride. I'm always very impressed about all the information and backround knowledge in your videos. I'm always looking forward to your next video.@@MemorySeekers
Have you covered Lymington Hampshire Sir ?
No not yet but we have it pinned 👍
First off love your videos your camera work is perfection.
But why in the world would anyone want to take an American Western themed picture in England?! Is that really a thing? And in front of a confederate flag to boot. LIKE WHY?!
Many thanks, glad you liked it. I think you can pick all sorts of costumes and backdrops, never seen the appeal myself. You usually see them as Victorians. People come from all over the world so I guess they must have had requests. As to why I guess only they know?? 😂
@@MemorySeekers I get the Victorian… I’d be all for a Victorian Bathing suit shot!!! LOL I’m just sitting here in the actual American west (Az) with this face🤨🙄
Hello to you both , nice to see this video beautiful spot thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beg to differ about the cliff railway being the only example in the UK. There is another of this water powered type of lift in Saltburn, North Yorkshire. Shorter it's true but working on the same principal.
Yes you are right we did put a correction notice in the first comment some months back. Thanks
@@MemorySeekers Sorry. I didn't see that at first. Love your videos though. Superb memories of Lynton and Lynmouth. Thank you.
🤩
You missed out the stupendous Life Boat rescue in the 19th century when people from Lynmouth hauled a life Boat from Lymouth over Porlock Hill by man and horse power to rescue the crew of a stricken Schooner in Porlock Bay
Thank you for adding that in the comments. I am sure we didn't include a number of other historical highlights, its hard to fit it all in.
@@MemorySeekers True but glad he gave it a mench, I've seen a print of that somewhere, very impressive, almost a super human acheivement. Keep up the great work.
Hello ❤👋💐🥰🎩👍
Hello 😊👍
Looks a lovely place to visit and so scenic. They must have a good council. A few miles down the coast, Combe Martin and Ilfracombe are falling to bits and couldn't hold a candle to Lynton & Lynmouth.
