Car Parking

There are public car parks and some street parking in both Lynton and Lynmouth although Lynmouth has significantly less available parking and gets busy during peak seasons. Much better to park in Lynton and use us as the most beautiful park and ride option in the UK to the village of Lynmouth below. Where else in the country can you arrive in that much style?

The secret to avoiding queues - Sssshhh!

The Cliff Railway can be accessed at either the top station in Lynton or the bottom station in Lynmouth. At busy times the bottom station is very popular and queues can occur at peak times. To reduce waiting and avoid queues we recommend access via the top station Lynton in the afternoon or plan your visit earlier in the morning or towards the end of the day - but don't tell everyone!

All Weather Attraction

We are an all weather attraction for all ages! Muddy walking boots & the dog are all welcome. The Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway operates daily (February to November) whatever the weather! Check our Opening Times & Fares page for our seasonal opening.

Gradient, Steps & Access Guide

The access paths have a slight gradient but are manageable by most wheelchairs with assistance. The Cliff Top Cafe has level access with a small ramp and no steps.

There is a small step onto the Cliff Railway at the top station, and three small steps within each carriage with handrail. Due to the nature of the railway and its Victorian carriages most standard wheelchairs will not pass through the carriages unfolded, the carriages are 540mm wide at the narrowest point. Passengers will need to transfer from and fold their wheelchairs for travel and are personally responsible for loading and unloading wheelchairs from the carriages. Our drivers are unable to assist during this time due to social distancing requirements. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate mobility scooters or larger wheelchairs.

For customers with specific access requirement please contact us prior to your visit or view our full Accessibility Guide.

Dogs & Assistance Dogs

Dogs are always welcome to take their owners for a ride on the Cliff Railway. We do make a small charge for doggy travel (lap dogs occur no charge) and they must be kept on a lead and ride inside the carriage at all times. Assistance Dogs are permitted to travel for free. Water for dogs is provided in bowls at the site - woof woof.

Dog Waste Bins are located nearby in Lynton at the Town Hall and the Valley of the Rocks and in Lynmouth on the Manor, at Rock House and Blacklands Beach.

Groups (Bubbles)

Gathering is as per the government guidance and we can accommodate groups of up to two households during travel (your support bubble counts as one household). We are not currently accepting advanced bookings or ticket sales for groups.

Pushchairs & Cycles

Due to the narrow Victorian carriages we ask that all pushchairs are fully folded for travel. Pushchairs can be left and stored if required. Due to our current service restrictions we are not transporting cycles.

Public Toilets

The Victorians didn't provide us with on site Public toilets. The closest are situated in Bottom Meadow Car Park and by the Town Hall in Lynton and The Memorial Hall and Lyndale Car Park in Lynmouth and also opposite the cricket field at the Valley of Rocks. Our Cliff Top Cafe WC is not currently open to the public.

WiFi

There is free and open access WiFi at the top and bottom stations and the Cliff Top Cafe.
