Opening in 1898, the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway in North Devon was considered one of the world's most famous and picturesque narrow-gauge railways. Despite its attraction, it closed in September 1935 because of declining passenger numbers.

After many years of closure, passengers can again travel in restored L&B carriages along a part of the original route above the Heddon Valley near Parracombe. Hauled by a period steam loco, visitors can experience a taste of what we intend to become: one of the ultimate heritage railway experiences of the world!

The Museum of British Surfing has what’s believed to be the largest & most comprehensive public collection in Europe. Our policy with vintage surfboards is to collect at least one example of each British shaper. We also take in foreign-made surfboards if they have an important connection with British surfing.

We chronicle and celebrate British surf history - from the time Captain Cook first encountered surfers right up to the present day.
