Latest house prices for Lynton

Lynton sits on a high plateau of the Exmoor coastline, perched some 500 feet above its sister village, Lynmouth. Historically, the two were physically isolated until the late 19th century, leading to the construction of the unique water-powered cliff railway that still connects them today. While Lynmouth handles the harbor and the river mouth, Lynton functions as the local hub, providing the primary shops, a town hall, and a sense of elevation that looks out over the Bristol Channel toward the Welsh coast. The geography here is defined by deep wooded valleys and the dramatic "Valley of Rocks," a dry valley just a short walk from the center where feral goats have roamed among the limestone outcrops for generations. Life here is shaped by the steep terrain; most routes out of town involve navigating the winding A39 or the narrow lanes of the national park, which lends the place a quiet, self-contained character even during the busier summer months.
