About

Lynton & Lynmouth ward encompasses the twin towns perched on the North Devon coast, linked by a historic water-powered cliff railway. The area includes the deep, wooded valleys of the East and West Lyn rivers, which converge at Lynmouth before meeting the sea. The terrain is characterised by steep cliffs and the high moorland of Exmoor National Park, which forms its southern boundary.

The settlements are shaped by this dramatic landscape, with Lynmouth's harbour at the river mouth and Lynton situated on the plateau above. The area's history is closely tied to its rivers, notably the destructive flood of 1952. A network of scenic paths, including the South West Coast Path, traverses the cliffs and combes of this coastal section.
