A journey along the alignment of the former narrow gauge railway between Barnstaple and Lynton to discover what remains of this line eighty-three years since its closure.

Dedicated to Laura.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
My immeasurable thanks to the staff and volunteers of the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (especially those on duty at Chelfham and Woody Bay on Sunday 22nd July!) and Rob at Exmoor Associates. Given their generosity, help, hard work and commitment, it is little wonder that this railway's prospects are so bright.
