The site of the former trackbed east of milepost 18, at Dean Steep, on the final approach to Lynton Station. The line here ran on a narrow ledge, high above the valley floor which falls away to the right of this photo The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway was a 19 mile long narrow gauge railway, which ran across the stunning Exmoor landscape, from 1898, until its closure in 1935. In 2004, after many years of hard work and negotiation, a small section was re-opened. It is hoped that this section will soon be a working part of the railway once more. One of the world’s most famous little railways, you can read more of the exciting plans for the coming years at www.lynton-rail.co.uk
