DRIVING UP PORLOCK HILL THE EASY WAY AND THEN ON THROUGH LYNTON AND LYNMOUTH

We travel a new way for us on our fifth visit this year to see the trains at The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, Woody Bay hoping to discover the location of Lynton Station which was situated a long climb from the village itself.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

We are glad you have happy memories of the area and enjoyed the video.

[@barbaralcharles]

The A39 is my favourite road in all the world. Mile after mile of gorgeous scenery and little or no traffic. Heaven.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

We didn't meet any other vehicle on the toll road.

[@exmoorbaydrones]

Love that route. Cycled up the Toll Road last month and down into Porlock Weir via a Bridleway, very rocky and steep but managed to get more than half way then got my customary puncture!...I always carry a spare tube now!....Thank you once again Mike and Val for your lovely Videos which continue to keep me entertained, Informed and inspired!

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Wow you must be quite fit to do that journey Percy! Well done!

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

from Val - Thank you for your kind comments Percy - Best Wishes xx

Good old England....Fantastic...

[@CaseyJonesNumber1]

Yes, that was indeed the old Lynton Station that you passed, when you weren't sure whether it was or not! I went to the L&B in October, via the A39 Porlock Hill, but you had a much nicer day for it than I did...I enjoyed a drop of Devon rain later in the afternoon! Lyn wasn't running on the L&B that day (her first day off for a long time apparently), so we had Isaac instead.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thank you. I am glad to discover that their special Christmas trains are running this year.

[@grahamperkins6911]

My wife hates Porlock hill.. we always take the toll road. Better scenary as well

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Yes, it is well worth the toll fee!

[@ABCDEF-yf4yu]

This is the main road between Minehead and Barnstaple with good views to Wales, (Lynmouth is directly opposite Swansea). I remember observing a rear engined Fiat 850 leaving Lynmouth up the Countisbury Hill in 1991 when these little Italian rustbuckets were few and far between, wondering if would make it to the summit.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

These days it is rare to find any modern car having problems there. It was a very different story forty years or more back.

[@kevintoo8]

Another lovely day out 😎 I can't help but wonder how Val would react, when driving, if you were replaced by a sat-nav 😉

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

We do have a sat nav but Val always has an argument with that!

[@SingerDriver]

A very nice drive up the toll road from Porlock Mike and Val - but maybe it needs one or two clear road signs on those sharp turns in the road on the way up ! It must be quite a sight in the country to see those peasants taking flight when Val puts her foot on the accelerator !

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thanks Alan - we enjoyed our day out very much - more to be uploaded soon! - from Val xx

[@brightbox9414]

We were talking pheasants yesterday on route to & from Tarr Steps Steps..... any Dunster by candlelight du know?

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

No Dunster by Candlelight in the usual way this year but please check website for details.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

The shops are planning to be open later than normal

[@seaspirit5087]

Happy Exmoor day everyone!

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]
