Lynton and Lynmouth

Lynton and Lynmouth are twin towns in North Devon connected by a water-powered cliff railway.

Get in
Lynton and Lynmouth can be reached by car on the A39.

By bus
The Exmoor Coaster open top double deaker bus runs from Minehead, Porlock and Watchet along the A39 with magnificent coastal views.

Buses also run from nearby towns such as Barnstaple. Public transport timetable information for the area.

Get around
There is an interesting cliff railway between the two towns.

Eat
Lynmouth & Lynton have several good pubs, such as the Rock House, but the best pub is found on a short two minute drive, up Countisbury Hill and into Countisbury, which has been renamed "The Blue Ball Inn". To get to the pub though, you must drive down steep cliff roads, so the route isn't best recommended for inexperienced or nervous drivers.

Lynmouth also has two excellent chip shops, the best being the Esplanade, located on the seafront. In Lynton there are small cafés and teahouses dotted around, and an Indian restaurant.

Connect
As of Sep 2023, these villages and their approach roads have 4G from EE and Vodafone, but no signal from O2 or Three. 5G has not reached this area.
