Lynmouth is a beautiful seaside village in North Devon, situated where the East Lyn River & West Lyn River meet, famous for being connected to its other half, Lynton, by a cliffside railway.

This picturesque, historic harbour town boasts winding, winsome streets quaintly packed with shops and houses, stunning views of the Atlantic coastline and beautiful countryside to explore
