Lynmouth Harbour is a small but attractive tidal haven on the Exmoor coast. A distinctive feature is the Rhenish Tower, built in the 1850s by Genera Rawdon to store salt water for the baths in his house. It was completely demolished in the disastrous floods of 1952 but carefully restored as part of thetown’s reconstruction. One of the oldest cliff lifts in the country – operated by water balance - connects the village with the twin town of Lynton, high above on the clifftops.
