Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (LBR)
| The Lynton &
Barnstaple Railway (L&B) opened as an independent railway in
May 1898. It was a single track, 1ft 111⁄2 in (597 mm) narrow
gauge railway and was slightly over 19 miles (31 km) long
running through the rugged and picturesque area bordering Exmoor in
North Devon, England
The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Association was formed in 1979; and a short section was reopened to passengers in 2004. This was extended in 2006; and the following year plans were announced to open 9 miles (14 km) of track, linking the station at Woody Bay to both Lynton (at a new terminus on an extension to the original line, closer to the town) and Blackmoor Gate, and to a new station at Wistlandpound Reservoir. The present track is now 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄8 in) narrow gauge. |
