The walks in Lynton and Lynmouth are some of the most majestic in North Devon. These twin towns lie on the county’s northern coastline at the confluence and mouth of the rivers West and East Lyn. While Lynmouth is built on the shoreline, Lynton sits above, atop a hill and the two are connected by a short cliff railway. Here, you can enjoy coastal walks, riverside rambles, forested forays and explorations of incredible geology.
