Lynton and Lynmouth

The final destination on our coastline trip were the twin towns of Lynton (at the top of the hill) and Lynmouth (at the bottom of the hill, on the oceanfront). These two quaint historic towns have loads of character. Lynmouth feels like a small seaside resort town with lots of ice cream shops, toy shops and souvenir shops. The upper town has it share of shops too but also more sophisticated restaurants and galleries. We walked up the hill to Lynton but took the famous cliff railway back down to the bottom. Lynton has lovely views of the beaches and surrounding cliffs while Lynmouth has access to the mostly rocky beaches. We walked along the water and I collected some lovely seaglass and a few shells before we had an ice cream and then started the return journey.
