Lynton
Lynton is a small town on the Exmoor coast in Devon, England, being located on top of the cliffs above the stunning harbour village of Lynmouth, to which it is linked by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was in times past the terminus for the narrow-gauge Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, which served both towns. The 2 areas are governed at regional level by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council. 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 amazing Valley of Rocks and Wringcliff Bay. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 1157 people. Proof of Iron Age activity can be discovered at the close-by Roborough Castle. In Lynton at present is the Parish Church of St. Mary, which stands looking over the sea, surrounded by shops and hotels. The tower is primarily 13th century but the church itself has actually been enlarged and transformed, most noticeably in 1741, when the nave was rebuilt, and later on in Victorian times. A number of the town's structures were built in the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The town hall was offered to the town by Sir George Newnes, Bart., a major benefactor of the town, and it was opened on 15 August 1900. He similarly bestowed the town the Congregational church on Lee Road. For all of your home refurbishments, be sure to find credible specialists in Lynton to make certain of quality.
