Lynton
Lynton is a town on the Exmoor coast in Devon, England, standing on top of the cliffs above the beautiful harbour village of Lynmouth, to which it is linked by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was at one time the terminus for the narrow-gauge Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, which served both towns. The two communities are governed at local level by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council. The South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail pass through, and the 2 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 stunning Valley of Rocks and Wringcliff Bay. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 1157 people. Evidence of Iron Age activity can be discovered at the close-by Roborough Castle. In Lynton today is the Parish Church of St. Mary, which stands towering over the sea, encircled by shops and hotels. The tower is predominantly 13th century however the church itself has been enlarged and altered, most significantly in 1741, when the nave was reconstructed, and later on in Victorian times. Many of the town's buildings were installed 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 gave the town the Congregational church on Lee Roadway. For all your home improvements, be sure to identify reputable professionals in Lynton to make certain of quality.
