2025-07-31 Lynton and Lynmouth

Lynton and Lynmouth feel like two halves of the same story, one perched high on the cliffs and the other tucked at the mouth of the East Lyn River, joined by steep paths, wooded valleys, and the famous cliff railway gliding between them. In summer, Lynmouth’s harbour shimmers with reflections of boats and stone cottages, while the river rushes through the village with a soft, constant energy. Up above, Lynton opens into wide views of the Bristol Channel, Victorian terraces, and the starting point of some of the most dramatic coastal walks in North Devon. Together they create a landscape that feels both intimate and grand — a place where sea, hills, and history fold into each other with effortless charm.
