Lynton and Lynmouth railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lynton and Lynmouth was the terminus of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, a famously scenic narrow gauge line that ran through Exmoor from Barnstaple to Lynton and Lynmouth in North Devon. The station served the twin towns of Lynton (on the top of the cliffs) and Lynmouth (on the shoreline below). It opened with the line on 7 March 1898, and closed with it after service on 29 September 1935. From 1923 until closure, the line was operated by the Southern Railway.
Now within the Exmoor national park, the station building has become a private residence, the former goods shed has been divided into two cottages, and a number of private residences have been built close to the trackbed on the approaches to the former station.
