Lynmouth is a village in
Devon, England, on the northern edge of
Exmoor. The village straddles the confluence of the
West Lyn and
East Lyn rivers, in a
gorge below
Lynton, which was the only place to expand to once Lynmouth became as built-up as possible. Both villages are connected by the
Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway which works two cable-connected cars on gravity, using water tanks.
