It was never my intention to be in a position to take these photographs!
I needed to go somewhere with lovely little shops to buy a birthday present, and Lynton and Lyymouth ticked both these boxes. They're a town and a village on the Exmoor coast, separated by a very tall cliff. They are connected by a water powered railway that connects the two. It's a very lovely place and very popular with tourists, especially in August.
I got there late morning and tried to find a parking space in Lynmouth. After a fruitless search I decided to drive up the hill to Lynton and look for parking there. After three drives around the village I decided that this was another waste of my time.
About a mile from Lynton is a beautiful little valley called Valley of Rocks, which has a couple of parking areas. I decided to take my car there. It's connected to both Lynmouth and Lynton by a walk along the coastline, part of the South West Coast Path. I'd never walked this before so decided to give it a go. I hope you enjoy the pictures I took along the way!
And thanks to 
Here's one of the most popular views you see of Valley of Rocks, looking south along the Devon coast...
Here's a rooftop, I liked the shape of the roof, and the chimney pots...
Here's the view from the top of the cliff railway, you can get a feel for why the railway is so popular, it's a long way down!
And here's the pathway, limited options, stuck between a rock and a wet place...
And some woodland that links the coast to Lynton, a wonderfully green environment...
A door. There was something about the shape of this I liked, maybe it's the grill in the middle that caught my attention?
Looking over Lynmouth, you can see the water channel that feeds into the harbour...
More rocks. There's a lot of them, and footpaths around them for exploring another day.
And let's finish with a roof. In need of a little TLC, but wonderful with it's combination of terracotta and organic growth...
