Lynton is a town on the Exmoor coast in Devon, England, being located on top of the cliffs above the stunning harbour village of Lynmouth, to which it is connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was at one time the terminus for the narrow-gauge Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, which served both towns. The two communities are governed at local level by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council. The South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail pass through, and the 2 Moors Way runs from Ivybridge in South Devon to Lynmouth; the Samaritans Way South West ranges from Bristol to Lynton and the Coleridge Way from Nether Stowey to Lynmouth. Half a mile to the west are the impressive Valley of Rocks and Wringcliff Bay. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 1157 people. Proof of Iron Age activity can be seen at the neighboring Roborough Castle. In Lynton nowadays is the Parish Church of St. Mary, which stands overlooking the sea, encompassed by shops and hotels. The tower is largely 13th century but the church itself has been enlarged and changed, most significantly in 1741, when the nave was restored, and later on in Victorian times. A lot of the town's buildings were installed in the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The town hall was offered to the town by Sir George Newnes, Bart., a notable benefactor of the town, and it was opened on 15 August 1900. He also gave the town the Congregational church on Lee Road.
