Lynmouth and the surrounding area is a walkers paradise. There are plentiful coastal and country walks of various grades in unsurpassable countryside. Walks can be accessed both from the front door of the cottage or within a short car or bus journey.

There are numerous beaches in the area too - some quiet and isolated and some offering superb surfing or fishing most of the year round with miles of golden sand. Close by, on the Devon and Cornwall Coastal Path, is the famous Valley of the Rocks with its Feral goats. This is also the location for the highest sea cliffs in Britain. A visit to Lundy Island or Clovelly can also be achieved in a day. The Doone Valley, made famous by R.D. Blackmore's novel 'Lorna Doone' is close at hand too.

Lynton sits on the hillside above Lynmouth and is accessed via road, footpath or by the famous Cliff Railway which is powered by water and was built around the same time as Myrtle Cottage.

The nearest large towns are Ilfracombe (15 miles) & Barnstaple (20 miles) along the coast to the west, and Minehead (20 miles) to the east across the county border into Somerset. Taunton is approximately 40 miles across Exmoor to the South East.

Things To Do

This corner of North Devon is bursting with interesting history and natural beauty. For guests staying at Daisy Hill there is a comprehensive information folder in the cottage. However, for those wanting to do a bit of planning in advance the Lynton and Lynmouth Tourist Information office is a useful place to start looking for such information as 'Things to do', 'Where to visit' and 'Where to eat'. The web site also has information about public transport in the area and gives information about any annual or special events to watch out for.
