Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Curve

A Heritage Railway Reborn

The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway was a narrow-gauge line that first opened in 1898, threading through the hills of North Devon before closing in 1935. Decades later, dedicated volunteers began rebuilding the route section by section, and today's extension toward Woody Bay keeps that legendary story alive.

Killington Lane and the Line to Woody Bay

This webcam is mounted at Killington Lane, watching the track sweep in a graceful curve toward Woody Bay station. A restored period lamp post and lineside fencing frame the view, while the narrow rails trace the contour of the hillside below.

Solar-Powered and Community-Run

The camera itself runs on solar power, a fitting match for a railway kept alive almost entirely by volunteers and enthusiasts. Coverage can pause when conditions don't allow it, mirroring the grassroots spirit that continues to restore this historic line one stretch of track at a time.

A Landscape of Rolling Devon Hills

Beyond the railway itself, the feed captures the rolling green pasture and hedgerows typical of this stretch of the Exmoor coast, offering a quiet window onto rural North Devon between the passing of each heritage train.
