About Lynton

Lynton perches dramatically on North Devon's cliffs, 500 feet above Lynmouth harbour. Reach it via the A39 Atlantic Highway through Exmoor from Barnstaple or Minehead, with spectacular coastal approaches from Ilfracombe. The Victorian resort commands sweeping Bristol Channel views, with roughly 15 EV charging points serving the area. Its water-powered cliff railway, operating since 1890, still carries passengers down to Lynmouth in four minutes.
