History & Heritage

Life in Lynton began in its old town long before the Victorian’s claimed it as England’s “Little Switzerland”.

You can find out more in the Lyn & Exmoor Museum.  The museum is located just off Queens Street near the library.  It offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling, and sometimes murky, past of our gorgeous towns and surrounding area.

The beautiful illustration at the top of the page shows the charm and whimsy of Lynton’s Old Town in this magical view of the area.

Lynton's Old Town is vibrant and eclectic with glimpses of its former Victorian heritage and life ever since.
