Famous for its stunning views of the North Devon coastline and endless pathways, the towns of Lynton and Lynmouth are connected by a historical water-powered Cliff Railway, which is heavily used by both locals and visitors alike. The Cliff Railway connects Lynton with the considerably lower beachfront town of Lynmouth, saving tourists a tiring walk between these two towns.
Lynton and Lynmouth reside within the vast Exmoor National Park, which has become the natural setting for a number of acclaimed novels, such as Lorna Doone and Tarka the Otter. A harbour once used by smugglers and lying where the forested gorge of the winding West Lyn River joins with the seafront, these towns have irrefutable charm and a very comprehensive Tourist Information Centre (TIC), which resides within Lynton Town Hall, a grand mansion-like building opened at the turn of the 20th century and gifted to the community by Sir George Newnes.
