Day 6: Wednesday 12 August 2026 - Various Activities

Graeme thought that James would enjoy going on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway which is a restored steam railway with just 1 mile of track and J did enjoy it very much. He also enjoyed the little model railway which was also there.

We then moved onto Lynton as there was a large model railway there. Unfortunately it was rather disappointing. The room was gloomy and dusty and the man looking after it had zero personality so we had a quick look and then moved on. 

There is the highest and ? Water powered cliff railway in the world in Lynton/Lynmouth which we thought about going on but the queue was long and we were hot and tired so we decided to head back, enjoying an ice cream on the way.


Evening meal was another delicious takeaway from Rockleigh in the village. There was a partial eclipse which we enjoyed watching on TV and through home made viewers.
