LYNTON

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 172 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LYNTON and LYNMOUTH, two seaside villages in the Barn-staple parliamentary division of Devonshire, England, on the Bristol Channel; 17 M. E. of Ilfracombe, served by the Lynton light railway, which joins the
South
  Western and
Great
  Western lines at Barnstaple. Both are favoured as summer resorts. Lynmouth stands where two small streams, the
East
  Lyn and West Lyn, flow down deep and well-wooded valleys to the sea. Lynton is on the cliff-edge, 430 ft. above. A lift connects the villages. The
industries
  are fishing and a small
coasting
 
trade
 . Not far off are the Doone Valley,
part
  of the vale of the
East
  Lyn, here called Badgeworthy water, once the stronghold of a notorious band of robbers and famous through R. D.
Blackmore
 's novel Lorna Doone; Watersmeet, where two streams, the Tavy and Walkham, join amid wild and beautiful scenery; and the Valley of Rocks, a narrow glen strewn with immense boulders. Lynton is an urban
district
 , with a
population
  (1901) of 1641.
