These two pretty villages are situated within Exmoor National Park, just along the coast from the Valley of Rocks formations and surrounded by spectacular scenery. Lynton is located 500 feet above its twin village of Lynmouth and the villages are connected by the olde-worlde funicular railway that offers wonderful views across the bay.
