LYNTON

LYNTON DEVON - a charming Victorian town perched on the north Devon coast, England, overlooking the dramatic Lynmouth Bay. It's part of the twinned towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, separated by a steep wooded valley. Lynton sits higher up on the cliffs, offering stunning views of the coastline and the Bristol Channel.
Lynton boasts a quaint appeal with narrow lanes, Victorian-era architecture, and a delightful selection of independent shops, tea rooms, and cafes. The Town Hall and the Lyn and Exmoor Museum are worth checking out for a glimpse into the town's history and heritage.
One of the main draws of Lynton is its connection to its neighboring town, Lynmouth, via the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. This funicular railway, built in 1888, is the highest and steepest water-powered cliff railway in the world, making for a scenic journey down the valley.
Lynton is a great base for exploring the surrounding Exmoor National Park, a beautiful area with rolling hills, moorland, and dramatic coastlines. With its stunning natural beauty, rich history, and charming atmosphere, Lynton and Lynmouth offer a delightful escape for visitors seeking a relaxing and scenic holiday.

I have been to Lynton and Lynmouth. I walked all along the Valley of the rocks and saw the goats. Looking forward to seeing the video of Lynmouth which I think is a better place than Lynton. Much prettier. Thanks for the video.

Not your normal way to start a video Neil. Lynton looks lovely. Still very up and down but the view from the cliff railway 🚃 is fantastic. The town looks very disconnected from the sea ⛵.

My wife and I enjoyed Lynton and Lynmouth last September. Beautiful scenery and the people were friendly and jovial. Great memories. The view from the church on the cliff was spectacular and we were hoping you would show it. Also, there was a cute bookshop in the church near the town hall. Thanks for reminding us on the beauty of both Lynton and Lynmouth.

A beautiful place we’ve been a couple of times.

[@rogertemple7193]

The beginning of the video with the drone flying over Lynton was really awesome and the walk around Lynton was even more awesome looking out at the sea and the railway was exciting to see and the main town center of course had a lot of nice looking buildings with the restaurants, pubs, stores, museums and etc of Lynton, the loud birds were very beautiful to hear and i liked seeing the town hall of Lynton and this was another exciting tour of Devon and until next time Thank You.🇬🇧🐦😎👋🇬🇧
