Where heather topped hills, cascading waterfalls and deeply wooded valleys meet the highest sea cliffs in England, nestles the picturesque harbour village of Lynmouth. Whitewashed cottages and the spectacular beauty of the Exmoor countryside inspired famous literary figures such as Wordsworth, Coleridge and Blackmore; Percy Bysshe Shelley, the 19th century poet, honeymooned at Mrs Hooper's Lodgings, now Shelley's Hotel.

Lynton's first cinema opened in 1916 and is now in a Grade II listed building with seating for 100. A Church of England Primary School is in Market Street, Lynton, and the two communities share clubs, societies and facilities for youth activities.
