Lynton

Lynton is a small and attractive town on Exmoor that lies above the town of Lynmouth. You can travel between the two towns via a cliff railway, though I have never tried it, in spite of visiting Lynton many times! Lynton, in contrast to Lynmouth, has a couple of small supermarkets, so for folk who visit this region Lynton is an important place for loading up with supplies.
