Lynton and Lynmouth - Devon
Exploring the Devon cliffs, the highest in England at 800ft. We stayed at the Camping and Caravan Club site in Lynton. A beautiful setting with views of the sea and stunning sunsets. There are two walking routes into Lynton and Lynmouth; footpath through the Valley of Rocks or along a small country road (no cars).
To walk through the valley of rocks turn right out of the campsite and then right again down the side of the campsite. It is beautiful all the way, there are a few different routes, some more difficult than others, we took the most direct which was steep at one point as you’ll see in the video. From the roundabout in the valley of rocks take the cliff edge route into Lynton. This is a mile long and stunning.
To walk into Lynton using the country road turn left out of the campsite and just keep following the road straight all the way. It rises for 200ft before dropping down steeply. To walk back this way from sea level at Lynmouth you need to be prepared to walk up 1000ft (a third the height of Mt. Snowdown) so make sure you are up to it! The funicular from Lynton to Lynmouth will take you half way in height but its still a big climb. (May 2019 - £3.90pp return)
While in Lynmouth we walked the Julia Bradbury walk to Watersmeet. This is a must do, it’s beautiful every step of the way. There is a café at Watersmeet, after this there’s a steep climb up to the cliffs but the rewards make it worth the effort.
Here’s a link to the whole walk from the Campsite down to Lynmouth, around the Julia Bradbury walk and back:
On our way to Devon we stayed at a Motorhome Pub Stopover. The Fox at Easter Compton. There is a lovely short walk from the Pub, details:
We arrived in Devon early so while we were waiting we parked up and did a short walk, the views were stunning, details here:

Blackgang Chine - World Of Timber - May 2010 | kittikoko
This museum has closed and the building is currently not accessible to the public.
Blackgang Chine is the UK's oldest amusement park. Named after a now-destroyed chine (a coastal ravine) in the soft Cretaceous cliffs, it is about 6 miles from Ventnor at the southern tip of the Isle of Wight just below St Catherine's Down. Blackgang Chine and its sister park Robin Hill are owned by the Dabell family. Blackgang Chine is home to a series of imaginatively themed lands, including a Pirate Cove, a realm of Dinosaurs, an Underwater Kingdom, a Fairy Village and a Cowboy Town. Owing to the unstable land on which the park is situated, landslides occur frequently, meaning that attractions have continually to be moved further inland to safer ground.
During Blackgang Chine's early years, the area was a steep gaunt ravine, overlooking Chale Bay, stretching around three-quarters of a mile down to the shore. It was a quiet place, visited by few people other than local fishermen with rumours of a thriving smuggling trade, which has now become a key theme of the park.[2] On 11 October 1836 the cargo ship Clarendon was wrecked at the foot of Blackgang Chine, with the loss of all aboard.[3]
During Victorian England, people were seeking out new healthy holiday resorts, ideally near the coast. As the railway network was getting closer and closer to the south coast, the Isle of Wight was becoming an increasingly attractive holiday destination. Alexander Dabell, the founder of the park, soon realised the business potential of this, trying various ventures. In 1839 Alexander became friends with a publican who had recently built a hotel at Blackgang, which now forms the Chine Cafe (Formerly Pirates' Pantry restaurant) and administration offices.[2] After studying the gault and chine gorge, he knew instantly that gardens could be set up that would appeal to the Victorians as a romantic holiday destination. This along with the increasing popularity of the adjacent Sandrock Spring (a Chalybeate spring) led to Alexander concluding a lease for the site in 1842 and the establishment of Blackgang Chine amusement park in 1843. The area was then opened up to the public with pathways built down to the ravine and gardens landscaped on the cliffs. Steps were built to give access to the beach from the lower road. Since the park was opened, it has remained a family business, with the descendants of Alexander Dabell owning it ever since.[4][5] The park's claim to have been established in 1843[1] would make it the oldest theme park in the United Kingdom. Its initial theme of a general-purpose scenic and curiosity park led to one of its most famous attractions, a large whale skeleton, which had been washed up near the coast of The Needles in 1842, and is still a showpiece today.[2]
Owing to continual landslides, the chine itself has been destroyed, and coastal erosion still has a significant impact on the area today. The park's focus now is themed entertainment for families with young children, lifesize animatronic dinosaurs being a noted feature. The same owners run a sister site, the Robin Hill countryside adventure park.[6] Clifftop walks in and around the area give panoramic views of the English Channel and the south-western Isle of Wight coast.
According to a May 2000 talk to the Isle of Wight Postcard Club by the then director, Mr Simon Dabell, the etymology is simply black pathway (the original appearance of the chine),[5] but the theme park understandably fosters the interpretation of a smuggling origin. Thus visitors to the park are greeted by a gigantic fibreglass smuggler between whose legs they could pass to enter.[6]
The park is frequently associated with ghosts, particularly related to smugglers, with several tales of sightings around the park. In 2008 a video was recorded, showing what appeared to be the apparition of a girl in a blue dress.[9]
Southern Vectis bus route 6 serves the amusement park on its way between Newport and Ventnor.[10] In the summer, the Island Coaster also stops here.

Simon's Wight: Isle of Wight Memorial Ploughing Match
For our latest instalment we sent Simon off to the Isle of Wight Memorial Ploughing Match. The event was set up to remember four members of the Isle of WIght Traction Engine Club who passed away in 2008 - Stephen Hayles, John Attrill, Derek Young & Den Phillips. So sit back and enjoy Simon taking you through the art of ploughing - from traditional horses through to modern day engines.
Later in September each year there is the formal Ploughing Match, which by all accounts is a much more serious affair! All in all a great day out for the family and a great opportunity to learn about our agricultural past...and present.
