THE AREA

Perched high on the dramatic North Devon coastline, Lynton is a charming Victorian town renowned for its breathtaking scenery, coastal walks, and relaxed lifestyle. Often referred to as the "Little Switzerland of England," the town enjoys spectacular views across the Bristol Channel and the rugged cliffs of Exmoor National Park.

The town offers a welcoming community atmosphere with a range of independent shops, cafés, traditional pubs, and everyday amenities. The property is conveniently located within easy walking distance of a wide selection of facilities including restaurants, bars, cafés, local shops, a gym, hairdressers, small supermarkets, a library, a primary school, cinema, tennis and bowls clubs, and a well-attended youth club, as well as places of worship. A regular bus service also provides connections to surrounding towns and villages.

Lynton is famously linked to its picturesque twin village, Lynmouth, by the historic Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, the world's highest and steepest fully water-powered railway. From here, residents can easily access Lynmouth's harbour, riverside walks, and coastal charm.

Surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of Exmoor, the area is a haven for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers. Nearby, the iconic Valley of Rocks offers spectacular coastal views, striking rock formations, and its famous herd of wild goats.

Combining stunning coastal scenery, historic character, and a strong sense of community, Lynton is a highly desirable location for those seeking a peaceful North Devon lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of the regional centre of Barnstaple and the wider North Devon coastline.

Lynton is twinned with the coastal village of Lynmouth, set on the banks of the River Lyn overlooking the sea and reached by a cliffside railway. The South West Coast Path passes directly through Lynton & Lynmouth and is England's longest waymarked long-distance footpath and a National Trail. It stretches for 630 miles (1,014 km), running from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, to Poole Harbour in Dorset. More extensive shopping facilities and amenities are available at the larger town of Ilfracombe (about half an hour) and the regional centre of Barnstaple (about 45 minutes). The world-renowned surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Putsborough, Saunton (also with Championship golf course) and Croyde are also about 45 minutes by car.

The North Devon link road (A361) is about a 40-minute drive and eventually joins the M5 motorway network at Junction 27, where Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter. There are excellent state and private schools within the area. The Valley of Rocks is within level walking distance (passing the extraordinary location of the cricket ground), offering access to many miles of coastal walks and stunning unspoilt countryside, which the surrounding Exmoor National Park has to offer. A trip to Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor's highest point has incredible views and a picnic at Landacre Bridge or visit to Withypool tea rooms would be well worth the journey.
