The region
Located in the west of Exmoor National Park, with its deep wooded valleys and stunning coastal cliffs, there are plenty of beautiful walks. There are walks for varying abilities around the Heddon Valley. Walks which can include part of the South West Coast Path, exploring Woody Bay, Lynton, Lynmouth and the Valley of Rocks, or a beautiful short walk along our own Heddon River to the beach at Heddon's Mouth.

Parracombe was once served by a halt on the Lynton-Barnstaple Narrow-Gauge Railway, which opened in 1898 and closed in 1935. In 1979 a group of volunteers decided to restore the railway and today you can board a train at Woody Bay Station close to Parracombe and travel to Killington Lane and back on a two mile round trip behind a narrow gauge steam locomotive.
