Lynton
Lynton is a town on the Exmoor coast in Devon, England, standing on top of the cliffs above the attractive 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 local 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 runs from Bristol to Lynton and the Coleridge Way from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth. Half a mile to the west are the impressive 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 seen at the close-by Roborough Castle. In Lynton at present is the Parish Church of St. Mary, which stands commanding a view of the sea, encircled by shops and hotels. The tower is primarily 13th century but the church itself has actually been enlarged and adjusted, most significantly in 1741, when the nave was reconstructed, and later in Victorian times. A number of the town's buildings were constructed 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 also bestowed the town the Congregational church on Lee Road. For all your home renovations, make sure to identify dependable experts in Lynton to make certain of quality.
