Lynton
Lynton is a small town on the Exmoor coast in Devon, England, being located on top of the cliffs over the beautiful harbour village of Lynmouth, to which it is connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was once the terminus for the narrow-gauge Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, which served both towns. The two communities 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 ranges 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 stunning 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 close-by Roborough Castle. In Lynton at present is the Parish Church of St. Mary, which stands looking out on the sea, neighboured by shops and hotels. The tower is predominantly 13th century however the church itself has been enlarged and changed, most significantly in 1741, when the nave was reconstructed, and later in Victorian times. Much of the town's structures 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 significant benefactor of the town, and it was opened on 15 August 1900. He also bestowed the town the Congregational church on Lee Road. For all your home renovations, make certain to identify reputable contractors in Lynton to make certain of quality.
