Lynton
Lynton is a town on the Exmoor coast in Devon, England, being located on top of the cliffs above the scenic harbour village of Lynmouth, to which it is linked by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was originally 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 runs 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. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 1157 individuals. Indication of Iron Age activity can be found at the nearby Roborough Castle. In Lynton nowadays is the Parish Church of St. Mary, which stands looking over the sea, encompassed by shops and hotels. The tower is mainly 13th century however the church itself has actually been enlarged and altered, most notably in 1741, when the nave was reconstructioned, and later on in Victorian times. Much of the town's buildings were developed in the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The town hall was presented to the town by Sir George Newnes, Bart., a leading benefactor of the town, and it was opened on 15 August 1900. He similarly bestowed the town the Congregational church on Lee Roadway. For all of your home refurbishments, be sure to find reputable contractors in Lynton to make certain of quality.
