Description
The small town or village is Lynton in North Devon. Lynmouth is below and just out of sight with a pedestrian link by a vernacular railway.
There was once a famous rescue by the lifeboat men of Lynmouth when a ship foundered just off the coast in very bad weather. The boat could not be launched here so it was pushed and pulled over these hills, in parts 1 in 4, to Porlock about 12 miles away.

Nice country side road Jeff.
and The Lynmouth Flood of 1952
Very cool view
Fantastic colors and shadow.Wonderful photo
Rugged coast and some serious weather developing. I can see the foundering in my imagination. A terrific capture.
an amazing view and really cool shot! I like how the road disappears into the distance.
I love this view and I could sit up there for hours - looking out over this view!
So wonderful Jeff, it is a beautiful area even in rain like today
Great view Jeff :)
Beautiful coastal view. The high green cliffs there on your western coast are so impressive. Very pretty capture.
Wonderful POV
B E A U T I F U L Not a good day for Hamilton ! but nicely finish the race :) One of the best race of the season !
Amazing capture my friend. God bless.
What a wonderful view and fantastic DOF---- in full size of course. And did I spot a single Fireweed to the right?
not a road to lose attention to your or any other driver! seems like they would have a guard rail. great landscape and capture
How amazingly beautiful this is; if it were here in the US there would be several layers of safety railings and all sorts of warning signs. It's refreshing to see a spot where they let a person's natural survival instinct guide their behaviour!
I am late commenting so all has been said so I will just ditto and thank you for sharing :)
one of those roads where you wish you had got your brakes tested, and yes the railway is well worth the ride.
nice view and interesting story
Spectacular view and road !
amazing coast view with dramatic cloudformation! a stunning capture again! ;o)
