This authentic 1970s colour photograph captures the picturesque coastal village of Lynmouth, Devon, situated within the Exmoor National Park. Taken in 1976, the image provides a factual record of the harbour area, looking towards the steep, lushly wooded cliffs that characterise this part of the North Devon coast. The scene documents the unique topography where the East and West Lyn Rivers meet the sea.
In the foreground, pedestrians in typical mid-1970s attire—including flared trousers and patterned knitwear—stroll along the quay. A postcard rack and traditional wicker baskets outside a local shop add a sense of the era’s tourism. The street is lined with period cars, parked against the stone harbour wall. In the background, white-washed cottages and larger residences, such as those on Mars Hill, are visible amongst the dense greenery of the hillside. As a self-contained archival record, this shot preserves the tranquil and scenic atmosphere of Lynmouth during the 1970s.
