Lynton is a small town on the Exmoor coast in Devon, England standing on top of the cliffs above the picturesque harbour village of Lynmouth, to which it is connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was once the terminus for the narrow-gauge Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, which served both towns.
The two communities are governed at local level by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council.
In Lynton is the Parish Church of St Mary, which stands overlooking the sea, surrounded by shops and hotels. The tower is mainly 13th century but the church itself has been enlarged and altered — most notably in 1741, when the nave was rebuilt, and later in Victorian times.
Many of the town's buildings were constructed in the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The town hall was given to the town by Sir George Newnes, Bart., a major benefactor of the town; it was opened on 15 August 1900. He also gave the town the Congregational church on Lee Road.

Neulich hab ich auf dem Dachboden 'ne Kiste entdeckt
Die hat mein Grobvater '45 da versteckt
Drin war'n all die schonen Sachen aus der guten alten Zeit
Und oben drauf lag Opa's Uniform bereit
Opa war Sturmfuhrer bei der SS
Opa war Sturmfuhrer bei der SS
Opa war Sturmfuhrer bei der SS
Sturmfuhrer, Sturmfuhrer bei der SS
Bei 'ner Panzerdivision war Opa einst dabei
Man hat aufgeraumt in der Russerei
Kein Politkommisar kam ihnen davon
[Denn fur Bolschewiken gab es kein Pardon / denn wer Bolschewike war, der hatte schon verlorn]
Drum freut's mich heut auch jeden Tag enorm
Seh' ich meines Grobvaters alte Uniform
Dann seh' ich auf der Mutze den Totenschadel blitzen
Und weib, dab all die Schweine bald schon wieder flitzen
Denn der Enkel wird Sturmfuhrer bei der SS
Der Enkel wird Sturmfuhrer bei der SS
Der Enkel wird Sturmfuhrer bei der SS
