As a kid growing up in Great Britain, and even then seeking out offbeat things to see and do in travel, I loved the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Situated in a setting of steep, ruggedly rolling green hillsides alive with unequalled beauty, below which lies a perfect picture postcard sea, and enriched by a town that looks as if it stepped out of a Beatrix Potter book, Lynton &amp; Lynmouth in the English county of Devon and the Cliff Railway there, is a tourist treasure beyond compare.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_626\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-626\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-626 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_Lynmouth-Cliff_Railway.jpg\" alt=\"railway car of the Lynton &amp; Lynmouth Cliff Railway\" width=\"850\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_Lynmouth-Cliff_Railway.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_Lynmouth-Cliff_Railway-600x504.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_Lynmouth-Cliff_Railway-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_Lynmouth-Cliff_Railway-768x645.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Lynton &amp; Lynmouth Cliff Railway, as one of the railway&#8217;s 2 cars, nears the top of the journey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_627\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-627\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-627\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_Lynmouth-water_discharge.jpg\" alt=\"Lynton &amp; Lynmouth railway car discharging water\" width=\"540\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_Lynmouth-water_discharge.jpg 540w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_Lynmouth-water_discharge-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">As it nears the bottom part of the journey, the car discharges the water.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What makes this so exceptional is that the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway is powered entirely by water! Yes, you read that right. Built originally to bring cargoes and produce from Lynmouth up the hardy, steep cliffs to Lynton at the top in 1887, passenger and freight service began in 1888. The railway has 2 cars, or carriages, with each able to carry 40 people. They\u2019re connected by steel wire ropes, which go around a 5 ft, 6 inch pulley at each end of the incline. But here\u2019s where you get the most ingenious and, I think, truly unique aspect of this extraordinary \u201cMust Ride\u201d railway.<\/p>\n<p>The car at the bottom in pulled to the top by the fact that the one at the top is heavier. That\u2019s because under each car is a huge 700 Imperial gallon tank filled with \u2013 <em>are you ready<\/em> \u2013 WATER! Water is discharged from the car at the bottom, until the heavier top car begins to descend \u2013 the departure and speed of each car is coordinated by a \u201cBrakeman\u201d or engineer, in each car. The 3 ft 9 in gauge track is 862 feet in length, with the top station at Lynton being 500 feet away \u2013 so giving the track an incline of 1:1.75.\u00a0 They \u201cBend\u201d in the middle part of track allowing both cars to pass one another.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_630\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-630\" style=\"width: 850px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-630 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_and_Lynmouth_Bay.jpg\" alt=\"Lynmouth Bay and the railway\" width=\"850\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_and_Lynmouth_Bay.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_and_Lynmouth_Bay-600x226.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_and_Lynmouth_Bay-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Lynton_and_Lynmouth_Bay-768x289.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-630\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left: Lynmouth Bay.
