Disused trackbed, looking west, towards Blackmoor Station (now Blackmoor Gate) 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 completely reinstated, and become 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
