The South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail pass through, and the Two Moors Way runs from Ivybridge in South Devon to Lynmouth; the Samaritans Way South West ranges from Bristol to Lynton and the Coleridge Way from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth. Half a mile to the west are the spectacular Valley of Rocks and Wringcliff Bay. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 1157 individuals. Evidence of Iron Age activity can be found at the neighboring Roborough Castle. In Lynton at present is the Parish Church of St. Mary, which stands towering over the sea, encompassed by shops and hotels. The tower is mainly 13th century but the church itself has actually been enlarged and altered, most significantly in 1741, when the nave was reconstructioned, and later on in Victorian times. Numerous of the town's buildings were built in the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The town hall was provided to the town by Sir George Newnes, Bart., a leading benefactor of the town, and it was opened on 15 August 1900. He similarly awarded the town the Congregational church on Lee Roadway. For all of your home improvements, make certain to identify respected professionals in Lynton to make certain of quality.
