You can
have a delicious home-made cream tea after enjoying the intimate surroundings
of one of North Devon's finest gardens in the picturesque Heddon Valley.
The walled garden was laid out by Penelope Hobhouse. The rest of the gardens
are filled with rare species, ferns, shrubs and trees all thriving in
their natural valley setting, many of which are the results of plant hunting
and dendrological trips abroad by Jane Keatley. |

First opened
in 1898, the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway in North Devon was originally
one of the world's most famous and picturesque narrow gauge railways.
Passengers can now travel along part of the original route within the
Exmoor National Park above the Heddon Valley near Parracombe. Visitors
are once again able to experience a taste of what will hopefully one day
become one of the ultimate heritage railway experiences of the world! |
