Together with its sister village <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/lynmouth-visitors-guide\/\">Lynmouth<\/a> 500 feet below, these twin villages have enchanted visitors since Georgian and Victorian times.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting 17 miles northeast of Barnstaple and 18 miles west of Minehead, Lynton may feel &#8220;off the beaten track&#8221; \u2013 but that&#8217;s precisely its charm. The journey across Exmoor&#8217;s stunning rural roads is rewarded with independent shops, cosy caf\u00e9s, spectacular walks, and the world-famous <strong>Cliff Railway<\/strong> connecting Lynton to Lynmouth.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s our complete guide to <strong>visiting Lynton<\/strong> \u2013 from the best things to do to where to eat and where to stay.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!-- TABLE OF CONTENTS --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; padding: 25px; border-radius: 10px; margin: 30px 0; border-left: 4px solid #1e5631;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0; color: #1e5631;\">In This Guide<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none; padding-left: 0; margin-bottom: 0;\">\n<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#things-to-do\"><strong>1.<\/strong> Things to Do in Lynton<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#places-to-eat\"><strong>2.<\/strong> Places to Eat &amp; Drink<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#walks\"><strong>3.<\/strong> Walks from Lynton<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#parking\"><strong>4.<\/strong> Parking &amp; Getting There<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#cottages\"><strong>5.<\/strong> Where to Stay<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 8px 0;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #333;\" href=\"#faqs\"><strong>6.<\/strong> Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"things-to-do\">Things to Do in Lynton<\/h2>\n<p>Despite its small size, Lynton offers plenty to keep visitors entertained. From world-record-breaking railways to atmospheric museums, here are the highlights:<\/p>\n<h3>Lynton &amp; Lynmouth Cliff Railway<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/lynton-lynmouth-cliff-railway\/\">Lynton &amp; Lynmouth Cliff Railway<\/a> is the <strong>highest and steepest water-powered railway in the world<\/strong>. Built in 1890, this Victorian engineering marvel connects Lynton (at the top) with Lynmouth (at the bottom), using nothing but water power to raise and lower the carriages.<\/p>\n<p>The 862-foot journey takes about 90 seconds and offers stunning views across the Bristol Channel. It&#8217;s both a practical way to travel between the twin villages and a must-do attraction in its own right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tickets:<\/strong> Adults \u00a35 return, Children \u00a33.50 return (2024 prices)<br \/>\n<strong>Opening:<\/strong> Daily from February to November<\/p>\n<h3>Valley of the Rocks<\/h3>\n<p>Just a mile west of Lynton lies the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/valley-of-the-rocks-exmoor\/\">Valley of the Rocks<\/a> \u2013 one of Exmoor&#8217;s most dramatic landscapes. This dry valley features towering rock formations with names like Castle Rock and Rugged Jack, wild feral goats roaming the hillsides, and breathtaking coastal views.<\/p>\n<p>You can drive to the valley (free parking) or walk from Lynton along the North Walk coastal path (about 1 mile).<\/p>\n<h3>Lynton Cinema<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Lynton Cinema<\/strong> is a delightful independent picture house showing recent releases in an intimate setting. Far more characterful than any multiplex, it&#8217;s a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon \u2013 and remarkably good value.<\/p>\n<h3>Lynton &amp; Barnstaple Railway<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lynton-rail.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lynton &amp; Barnstaple Railway<\/a> is a restored narrow-gauge heritage railway. Originally opened in 1898, the volunteer-run railway now operates steam and diesel services through beautiful Exmoor countryside. Perfect for families and railway enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<h3>Lyn &amp; Exmoor Museum<\/h3>\n<p>This small local museum tells the story of Lynton, Lynmouth, and the surrounding area \u2013 including the devastating 1952 Lynmouth flood disaster. Housed in a restored 18th-century cottage, it&#8217;s a fascinating glimpse into local history.<\/p>\n<h3>Lynton Toy Museum &amp; Shop<\/h3>\n<p>A nostalgic family-run museum and shop celebrating toys of yesteryear. Great for sparking memories and keeping children entertained.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lynton--1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Lynton | A Visitors Guide\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lynton--1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lynton--300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lynton--768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lynton--1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lynton-.jpg 2047w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Image Credit: Neville Stanikk<\/h5>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"places-to-eat\">Places to Eat &amp; Drink in Lynton<\/h2>\n<p>Lynton is packed with independent caf\u00e9s, tea rooms, pubs, and restaurants.
