Babbacombe Cliff Railway is a charming Victorian funicular that has been transporting passengers since 1926. The railway descends a steep 60-meter cliff, offering breathtaking views of the English Riviera coastline. Visitors can enjoy a smooth, scenic ride in one of the two carriages, which pass each other midway. It's a distinctive and practical way to access Oddicombe Beach while soaking in the sea air and vistas.
