Lynton is a small town on the Exmoor coast standing on top of the cliffs above the picturesque harbour village of Lynmouth. Lynton and Lynmouth are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was once the terminus for the narrow-gauge Lynton & Barnstaple Railway which served both towns. Two villages on the coast, one above the other, Lynton and Lynmouth were known by the Victorians as Little Switzerland. Lynton is an attractive village with a museum and good range of restaurants, cafes, tea shops and 'art/craft' shops. The town hall, also home to the visitors centre, hosts dramas and exhibitions and positioned next door to an Art and Craft centre and the village cinema. There are many hotels and guest houses in Lynton and Lynmouth. Down in Lynmouth, the two rivers, The East and West Lyn, join. The East Lyn runs to Watersmeet and the West Lyn runs South through Barbrook. Watersmeet boasts a National Trust tea room and the walk from Lynmouth to Watersmeet is very popular. The Valley of the Rocks, a short walk from Lynton, is another area worth visiting with breathtaking scenery and flocks of wild goats.
