Nearby town
Lynton sits on the north Devon cliffs, sandwiched between the sea and Exmoor National Park. 500 feet directly below Lynton is its sister village, Lynmouth; the two are joined by a unique water-powered funicular cliff railway. Natural beauty is everywhere you look in this stunning part of Devon; the coastline here is glorious, while inland Exmoor’s valleys, rivers, waterfalls and hills create an inspiring, wild landscape.

A truly dramatic landscape that has to be seen to be believed. Over many thousands of years, the elements have chiselled the sandstone, slate and limestone rock into strange and precarious formations. The Valley of the Rocks sits near the edge of Exmoor, where moorland plunges into cliffs to meet the sea, making for some superb walking. Start at the coastal town of Lynton, to the east of the Valley, for a circular five mile ramble that takes in moors, clifftops and stunning views across the Valley and out to sea. Don't forget to pack a picnic.

Dramatic Scenery
A wonderful, almost alien like landscape that is second to none. There are plenty of 'Rocks' to perch apon, picnic apon, relax apon in order to soak up the dramatic atmosphere. Well worth a visit.
February 2009
Stunning views and scenery where the moor meets the sea. The weird alien landscape of the Valley of the Rocks is quite something and very different from the scenery in the rest of the West Country.

Spectacular
There is a sense of drama in the landscape here that makes it an exciting area to explore. With so many spectacular walks to enjoy, there is always a reason to return. This is the North coast at its best.

An amazing landscape to walk in with fantastic views and scenery. Would definitely recommend!
A unique way of making the 500ft vertical journey from Lynmouth at the bottom of the cliff to Lynton at the top.

A great view!
This is such a unique way of seeing the view of this area. The villages are also very quaint.
Set deep in the north Devon countryside, The Rosemoor estate was once the home of Lady Anne Palmer. Lady Anne developed a passion for plants when she met noted plantsman Colllingwood Ingram while recuperating from measles in Spain. Over the next 30 years, she travelled the world to collect specimens for her garden, which she gave to the Royal Horticultural Society in 1988. The estate now comprises 65 acres of land, which includes rose gardens, a winter garden, a fruit and vegetable garden, a formal garden, woodlands, and many stream and lakeside plantings, making Rosemoor an enchanting place to visit whatever the season.

Fabulous place, outstanding gardens
A return visit for us.
An exceptional day out if you love nature and gardens. We were lucky our visit coincided with the Festival of Apples in October. Beautiful place and everything offered is of the highest standard.

Fanstastic
Spent the best part of the day exploring the walks around the estate and through the fabulous formal and informal gardens, plenty of seating in the grounds to appreciate the flowers, plants and trees, choice of refreshment options from snacks to restaurant, a very good shop and parking very easy, worth the effort to visit.

Gorgeous day out
As an RHS member and regular visit to Hyde Hall I’ve been keen to visit the other gardens so when on holiday nearby, a visit to Rosemoor was a must. It is truly fabulous, we visited on a beautiful, sunny, summer day so we saw it at it’s best but I can see how there is interest whatever time of year you visit.
The staff are friendly and we received a great welcome and explanation of the layout when we arrived, such a lovely touch.
The garden is split into two parts, Lady Anne’s garden which has beautiful trees and planting best seen at a gentle stroll and the more formal gardens laid our directly near the entrance which are also stunning. The cool garden was gorgeous especially on a hot day.

Roses Galore!
The rose collection - one of the largest in the West Country - is very impressive. In full bloom in the summer, the scent of over 2,000 flowers is quite sensational. The Rose Weekend, held in June, was very informative, with advice on growing your own, as well as walks and activities for children.
An examination of Exmoor’s history from the Stone Age to the present day.
