Right there, plenty of parking. However, if on the odd chance that it is full, you can park on the road, still close. If the weather takes a turn, you can still drive along the road and has great views. If you go along the road about 1/2 a mile, look back and see if you can see the lady in the rocks up high, she is only visible for about 50 yards.

The cliff walk from the town of Lynton along the coastal path to the valley of the rocks is more than possible with a pram but it is a sheer drop down to the sea so obviously care must be taken and once in the valley of the rocks it’s relatively flat wth a well made up road. We did it all on push bikes and it was fine, enjoy and don’t forget your camera.

Q:
Hi are dogs welcome on these walks ?
A:
Yes, but keep them on a lead as if they met up with a wild goat your dog will come off worse. So enjoy the walk both for you and your dog.
