Valley of Rocks, Lynton - Exmoor National Park sign

Heading to Lynton & Lynmouth, first our coach dropped us off at the Valley of Rocks in Exmoor National Park.

There was mountain goats up on the cliffs.

Got close to Castle Rock and the South West Coast Path.

Thought we were going to walk into Lynton, but we went back to the coach, and was dropped off in the town.

There was amazing views of Wringcliff Bay, but the paths didn't have any safety railings.

The Valley of Rocks, sometimes called Valley of the Rocks, is a dry valley that runs parallel to the coast in north Devon, England, about 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) to the west of the village of Lynton. It is a popular tourist destination, noted for its herd of feral goats, and for its landscape and geology.

The valley has good exposures of the Lynton Beds (formally the 'Lynton Formation') that are among the oldest Devonian rocks in north Devon and are highly fossiliferous. Also of note are the periglacial features formed when this area was at the limit of glaciation during the last Ice Age. The valley is believed to owe its existence to the dissection by coastal cliff recession of a former extension of the valley of the East Lyn River which now meets the sea at Lynmouth.
