Lynmouth’s four Slow Ways are 69% checked
Help connect Lynmouth
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Lynmouth’s Slow Ways.

Much of the route is in the East Lyn river valley at the western end between Lynton and Brendon, A tight river valley through with excellent views of the river....

I agree with both reviewers of this route, Quite spectacular, stunning views but be prepared for a tough hilly walk....
Tim Ryan
Views, streams, fragments of rainforest, goats and so many rainbows! Highly recommended!...

I absolutely loved walking this route. It's got incredible views, gorgeous paths and we lucked out with lots of goats too....

Walk this routeAs per my review for Lynsim 1, this is a reasonably easy route to follow, except for the open moorland stretches where the path can get lost. It wouldn't suit a wheelchair user....

There's open moorland, which can be a little tricky to follow in poor visibility with only faint traces of path on the ground, but this is otherwise a straightforward route to follow as it matches the Two Moors Way which is signposted. It wouldn't be suitable for people using wheelchairs....
jonathansbean
The first 300 metre ascent from Lynmouth to Lynton and deeper into Exmoor was strenuous, but I'd do it again! Loved the stunning views of the coast and the shops in Lynton....
pilea
This is a good route and quite possibly the best way to walk between Parracombe and Lynmouth....
danravenellison
Quite steep walk down into Lynton but overall a lovely walk, well worth the effort....
Jane Gough
I walked this route from Parracombe to Lynmouth and really enjoyed it. After this, the route is along lanes, which are sometimes lined by hedgerow, sometimes open with great views....
Helen Gough
Pubs along the route at Rockford, Brendon and Porlock Weir as well as lots more at both Lynmouth and Porlock. I parked in Porlock and got the Exmoor Coaster Bus to Lynmouth before walking back....

Charles Hedley added Lynpor two, a new walk from Lynmouth to Porlock
Walk this routeHowever the section of footpath between Culbone Church and Porlock Weir is not maintained, making access very difficult. It is overgrown, there are lots of fallen trees and a couple landslides. I have created LYNPOR 2 which solves this issue....
Charles Hedley
It is almost entirely off road accross open moorland and the descent into Lynmouth is something special (although a bit hard on the knees)....

Charles Hedley added Lynsim two, a new walk from Lynmouth to Simonsbath
Walk this routeThe entire route is along the Coast Path national trail, no reason to change it. Some big climbs along the trail....
Tim Ryan
The route from Ilfracombe to Lynmouth for the most part follows the coast path, with dramatic views over the North Devon coastline....
