About

The Lynton & Combe Martin area is defined by its steep coastal geography. Lynton perches on the cliffs of the Exmoor coast, connected to its harbour, Lynmouth, by a water-powered cliff railway. The landscape is dominated by the wooded valleys of the East and West Lyn rivers, which meet at Lynmouth. Inland, the terrain rises sharply onto the open moor of Exmoor National Park.

Combe Martin sits within a long, narrow valley that cuts directly through the hills to the sea, creating an unusually sheltered harbour. The area's geology is prominent, with the Hangman Sandstone series forming distinctive coastal cliffs. Combe Martin's parish church, dedicated to Saint Peter ad Vincula, is one of the longest in England, reflecting the village's linear layout along its single main street.
