Lynton and Lynmouth

The twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth are located in the middle of the rugged Exmoor coastline

The twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth are located in the middle of the rugged Exmoor coastline. The two wooded combes of the East and West Lyn rivers meet at Lynmouth and cross the stoney beach to the sea.

Lynton is 500 feet above Lynmouth and the two towns are connected by the cliff funicular railway. The railway is a 'must see and do' offering wonderful views over the bay. Lynton is an unspoilt village with some excellent independent shops and an impressive town hall. Just down the road from the town centre is the unusual Valley of Rocks with a tearoom and probably the most idyllic setting for the cricket club ground.

Lynmouth is at sea level with a small harbour and Rhenish Tower dominating the harbour wall. The High Street is pedestrian-only with some fascinating shops to enjoy. The Exmoor National Park Visitor Centre is next to the cliff railway and has interactive displays, lots of information and a small theatre showing videos of Exmoor.
