Lynton is a town on the Exmoor coast in the North Devon district in the county of Devon, England, approximately 17 miles (27 km) north-east of Barnstaple and 18 miles (29 km) west of Minehead, and close to the confluence of the West Lyn and East Lyn rivers.[citation needed] Lynton sits directly above the neighbouring village of Lynmouth; the two settlements are separated by a steep gorge.
