Welcome to the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway - The Last Narrow-Gauge Railway Adventure
Welcome to the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway. It's a very exciting time for the railway with advance plans for extending the current one mile line. Our 4.5 miles, £15million extension plans were given the go ahead on 6th March 2018. Our long term intention is to reopen the entire nineteen mile railway.
In September 2017, 'LYN' arrived. Our first authentic loco for the line. A new-build, technically advanced version of a unique loco that was built for line's opening in 1898, but sadly scrapped when the railway closed in 1935. A fifth heritage coach (number five) is also under construction at our workshops in Essex. Now's a great time to get involved, there's lots going on.
If you're an online shopper you can support the railway at no cost to you. By signing up with easyfundraising.org.uk or giveasyoulive.com then clicking through to hundreds of retailers from that website, the railway will receive a small percentage of your spend... With the planning process to extend the railway costing over £400,000, every penny counts!!
There's also the 100 club a monthly cash prize draw, from £1 a month, (minimum 12 months) with a monthly prize of around £300. Maybe give your time and volunteer or join in the working party weekends, the last full weekends in November, January and March, working towards the line's extension, track bed clearance, fencing and very often bonfires! Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Even if you're just passing, Woody Bay station is a lovely place to stop off for a great quality home cooked bowl of soup, sandwiches, cream teas and cakes. It's free to park and look round the station and shop, or just sit on a bench on the platform and listen to the birds and take in the atmosphere of this charming little railway. We love dogs too. There's a short woodland walk next to the platform.
If you do choose to ride on the train, you can make more out of a visit than just a ride or two up and down the line. Why not get out at Killington Lane and follow the footpath along the track bed over the fields about 15 minutes to the village of Parracombe? Visit one of the oldest churches in the country, St Petrock's, in the Churchtown area of the village. It has one of the most intact eighteenth-century interiors in the country. Then wonder down Church Lane, past the site of Parracombe halt, look out for the Southern Railway concrete waiting shelter, then down to the village itself, maybe have a drink or some lunch in the Fox and Goose Inn. Then up Parracombe Lane and back to Killington Lane halt. Walking shoes recommend!
Tickets are valid all day. If you have young children who love trains, why not visit in the morning, then do something else and call in again for another ride in the afternoon. They'll love it.
The railway is a not for profit organisation, run almost entirely by volunteers. Every penny you spend at or donate to the railway goes towards running and maintaining the existing line, or funding the expansion plans. It's never ending! We thank you and hope you enjoy your visit.
Please have a look at our website for up to date news, timetables and fares.

To see the railway in action in more detail, have a look at one of my other films. If you're interested in learning about the original railway's history, look out on Youtube for the 1987 BBC documentary The Little Train To Lynton it's a perfect introduction.
UPDATE: 16th August 2018. The L&B trust and the 762 club launch the next exciting project to build TWO new locomotives for the railway. New-build versions of 'YEO' and 'EXE' will be built at the same time. The original locos were built for the railway's opening in 1898 by Manning, Wardle & Co of Leeds and scrapped in 1935 when the railway closed. The new locos will also be Manning Wardle too as the L&B trust recently obtained the company name. Consequently, the build numbers will be 2048 and 2049, the next in line and the first since 1926 when the original company closed. It is intended these locos will be ready for the extended railway to Blackmoor in about five years.

A361 crash: Roads blocked after mum and two children die - Daily Mail

Mrs Baker-Lockett was driving her 12-year-old twins James and Amy Gaskin (right) as the family from Milton Keynes headed to the South West for a holiday. And Mr Gaskin, 43, paid tribute to the twins today, telling MailOnline: 'They came into this world together and sadly they have gone together. It is an absolute tragedy and they were two fantastic kids who were inseparable. Our loss is just enormous.'

Rail transport in Great Britain
The railway system in Great Britain is the oldest in the world: the world's first locomotive-hauled public railway opened in 1825. Most of the railway track is managed by Network Rail, which in 2015 had a network of 15,760 kilometres of standard-gauge lines, of which 5,272 kilometres were electrified. These lines range from single to quadruple track or more. In addition, some cities have separate rail-based mass transit systems. There are also several private railways, which are primarily short tourist lines. The British railway network is connected with that of continental Europe by an undersea rail link, the Channel Tunnel, opened in 1994.
The United Kingdom is a member of the International Union of Railways. The UIC Country Code for United Kingdom is 70. The UK has the 18th largest railway network in the world; despite many lines having closed in the 20th century it remains one of the densest rail networks. It is one of the busiest railways in Europe, with 20% more train services than France, 60% more than Italy, and more than Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Portugal and Norway combined, as well as representing more than 20% of all passenger journeys in Europe.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cornwall (; Cornish: Kernow [ˈkɛrnɔʊ]) is a county in South West England, bordered to the north and west by the Celtic Sea, to the south by the English Channel, and to the east by Devon, the River Tamar forming the border between them. Cornwall is the westernmost part of the South West Peninsula of the island of Great Britain. The southwesternmost point is Land's End and the southernmost Lizard Point. Cornwall has a population of 563,600 and an area of 3,563 km2 (1,376 sq mi). It is administered by Cornwall Council, apart from the Isles of Scilly, which are administered separately. The county town is Truro, Cornwall's only city.
Cornwall is the homeland of the Cornish people and the cultural and ethnic origin of the Cornish diaspora. It retains a distinct cultural identity that reflects its history, and is recognised as one of the Celtic nations. It was formerly a Brythonic kingdom and subsequently a royal duchy. The Cornish nationalist movement contests the present constitutional status of Cornwall and seeks greater autonomy within the United Kingdom in the form of a devolved legislative Cornish Assembly with powers similar to those in Wales and Scotland. In 2014, Cornish people were granted minority status under the European Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, giving them recognition as a distinct ethnic group.First inhabited in the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods, Cornwall continued to be occupied by Neolithic and then Bronze Age peoples, and later (in the Iron Age) by Brythons with strong ethnic, linguistic, trade and cultural links to Wales and Brittany the latter of which was settled by Britons from the region. Mining in Cornwall and Devon in the south-west of England began in the early Bronze Age.
Few Roman remains have been found in Cornwall, and there is little evidence that the Romans settled or had much military presence there. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Cornwall (along with Devon, parts of Dorset and Somerset, and the Scilly Isles) was a part of the Brittonic kingdom of Dumnonia, ruled by chieftains of the Cornovii who may have included figures regarded as semi-historical or legendary, such as King Mark of Cornwall and King Arthur, evidenced by folklore traditions derived from the Historia Regum Britanniae. The Cornovii division of the ...
