All aboard across the moor

FOR a different type of day out in West Country, board the #WestSomersetRailway – England’s longest heritage railway – for the Lynton & Lynmouth Explorer excursion. 

On the north coast of the Exmoor National Park and overlooking the Bristol Channel the twin villages of #LyntonandLynmouth – linked by a water-powered Victorian cliff railway – are two of the most attractive destinations in Somerset.

Passengers travel on the 10.25 a.m. steam train from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead, where they are met by a coach that takes them across Exmoor to the twin villages of Lynton & Lynmouth for a lunchtime visit of approximately two hours. The return coach leaves at 2.30 p.m. The steam train home departs at 4.05 p.m., arriving back at Bishops Lydeard at 5.22 p.m. – and there’s a Somerset cream tea option (£5.50) on the return train journey.

Costs: £22 (adults), £11 (children aged 5 to 15), £50.00 (for a family of two adults and up to four children).

Upcoming dates: September 11, 18, and 25.
