Woody Bay Railway Curve

A Heritage Line Reborn

The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway first opened in 1898, carrying passengers and goods across the wild Exmoor landscape on its narrow-gauge track before closing in 1935. Decades later, a dedicated team of volunteers is rebuilding the line section by section, and Woody Bay Station stands as one of the project's proudest achievements.

A Second Vantage at Woody Bay

This camera looks out from Woody Bay Station along a different stretch of track than its companion feed, framing the line as it sweeps through open countryside. The wide view captures the full sweep of the curve, giving a sense of scale to this remote corner of the railway.

Exmoor's Rolling Countryside

Beyond the rails, the camera surveys the undulating hills and hedgerowed fields typical of North Devon, part of the wider Exmoor National Park. Grazing land, scattered trees and distant ridgelines give the scene an unmistakably pastoral character.

Watching the Rebuild in Real Time

Operated by Railcam UK in partnership with the railway, this feed lets viewers follow the ongoing restoration and, when trains run, catch a fleeting glimpse of steam and heritage carriages threading through the Devon hills.
