Lynton at the top of the cliff and Lynmouth at the bottom are both worth a visit. They are connected by a victorian cliff railway powered by water - the views are amazing. The towns both have lovely little shops and the harbour is so pretty. They are also both connected to Valley of Rocks see below.
