Many of our guests mention that they keep an eye on our website, so we thought we'd put a few bits of news here that might be of interest, or don't belong anywhere else on the website . . . new walks we hear about, interesting places to visit, etc. We'll try to keep it updated regularly. Sorry if we ramble on a bit!

The North Devon Mini Rally comes through Lynton and Lynmouth every Bank Holiday monday. We didn't manage to get anywhere more picturesque to take a picture, so had to settle for one outside the house! Also today was the rescheduled Gala at Lynmouth, which was postponed from earlier in the month when the weather was awful!

The rescheduled raft race was last weekend. We didn't get down to see it, but Stephanie and Chris did, and took these pictures. Apparently if you didn't get wet or covered in flour you weren't there!

The scarecrows are taking over. There seem to be more than ever. We spotted these in the Middleham Garden in Lynmouth (while we were having a cream tea!).

We heard today that the Lightfest event, which had been planned for September, has been postponed. In effect this seems to mean 'cancelled' because on the Lightfest website there is a statement saying that people who had already bought tickets will receive automatic refunds.

During August Lynton & Lynmouth holds it's annual Scarecrow Festival. The event started a few years ago and since then it has grown and grown. They are everywhere . . . not just in people's gardens . . . they are on top of roofs, climbing walls and even up telegraph poles!
