Every year, one of North Devon's most anticipated motoring events brings together thousands of visitors, hundreds of incredible vehicles and a shared passion for automotive history.
The Lyn Valley Classic, held in the beautiful twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth on the edge of Exmoor National Park, has become one of the UK's most loved classic vehicle festivals. Since its beginnings in 2014, the event has grown from a small gathering into a spectacular celebration of classic cars, motorcycles, tractors, supercars and vintage vehicles, while raising thousands of pounds for local charities.
As a proud North Devon business, Lambland is always delighted to support local events that celebrate craftsmanship, engineering and our wonderful community.
A Day to Remember
There's something special about seeing hundreds of beautifully restored vehicles set against the breathtaking backdrop of Exmoor's coastline.
Whether you're passionate about classic British sports cars, vintage motorcycles, iconic Land Rovers or modern supercars, the Lyn Valley Classic offers something for everyone. Enthusiasts travel from across the UK to display their pride and joy, while visitors enjoy a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere, local food, independent businesses and the stunning surroundings of Lynton and Lynmouth.
It's an event that perfectly showcases the passion, dedication and craftsmanship behind every vehicle.
Where Lambland Meets Motoring
Many people know Lambland for premium sheepskin slippers, rugs and home furnishings, but our connection with the automotive world runs much deeper.
For years, Lambland has supplied premium genuine sheepskins to MotoCoverz, the award-winning North Devon business that handcrafts luxury sheepskin seat pads for motorcycles, cars, campervans and motorhomes.
Those same carefully selected sheepskins have travelled the world, improving comfort for riders and drivers across Europe, North America and Australia.
Today, we're proud that MotoCoverz is also available through Lambland, bringing together two local businesses built on shared values of quality, craftsmanship and exceptional customer service.
Why Sheepskin Has Been Trusted for Generations
Long before modern comfort materials were developed, natural sheepskin was already being used in vehicles because of its remarkable properties.
It naturally:
- Regulates temperature in both hot and cold weather.
- Allows air to circulate beneath the occupant.
- Wicks away moisture.
- Provides additional cushioning on longer journeys.
- Offers exceptional durability.
- Delivers lasting comfort throughout the seasons.
Whether fitted to a classic motorcycle, a vintage sports car or a modern touring bike, genuine sheepskin remains one of the most effective ways to improve driving and riding comfort.
Supporting Local Events and Local Communities
One of the reasons we love the Lyn Valley Classic is that it's about much more than vehicles.
The event brings together local businesses, volunteers, clubs and thousands of visitors, helping to support tourism throughout Lynton, Lynmouth and the wider Exmoor area. Over the years, it has also raised more than £100,000 for local charities, making a lasting difference to the community.
As a family-run business based in North Devon since 1961, supporting our local community has always been important to us, and events like this highlight everything that's special about living and working in this beautiful part of the country.
Looking Ahead
We always look forward to attending the Lyn Valley Classic, catching up with customers, admiring some incredible vehicles and celebrating the craftsmanship that goes into preserving automotive history.
Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning year after year, it's an event that captures the very best of classic motoring, local community spirit and the stunning scenery of Exmoor National Park.
