Barnstaple is a vibrant river-port town and civil parish nestled in the picturesque North Devon district of England. Strategically located at the River Taw's lowest crossing point before it meets the Bristol Channel, this charming town has a rich history dating back to the 14th century, when it was granted a license to export its renowned wool. This trade not only shaped its economy but also paved the way for immense prosperity. Discover the allure of Arnstaple and immerse yourself in its storied past!

Lynton & Barnstaple Railway

The only steam railway in the UK where passengers travel in Victorian railway carriages designed in the 1890s.

A one mile return trip from Woody Bay Station to Killington Lane and back. Two miles in total taking approximately 20 minutes.

Steam trains through rolling countryside, with views out to wild moorland and the rugged coastline. Originally opened in 1898, and closed in 1935; what you can see today at Woody Bay is just the beginning of an exciting project to rebuild one of the world’s most famous and picturesque narrow-gauge railways; the legendary Lynton & Barnstaple Railway.
