Lynmouth.\u00a0 The first, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linmouth<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d the second <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cValley of

of this town still today, is from Lynmouth:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Here one might dream the hours away,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

a lack of staff since the pandemic hit!\u00a0 But luckily, it\u2019s only a few minutes\u2019 drive or a 20-minute walk up to The Oak Room in Lynton, which we can recommend for something smarter \u2013 it\u2019s an award-winning restaurant doing delicious Spanish food, with only the finest produce either from Spain or locally sourced.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<div
