Exceptionally helpful staff who give useful and expert advice. Lots of useful information on display and many leaflets to take away. Limited range of items on sale but what they have is really useful and good quality.

Popped into the centre a couple of times during a recent visit. The shop is great, stocking local crafts. The staff were very helpful with regards to local walks and places of interest. The pavilion cafe which is above the centre is an absolute must.

This Review is intended for the first time visitor to both towns, rather than just about the Information Centre itself. My wife & I made a first time visit here recently, whilst on a holiday near Barnstaple. I knew little about the places , other than Lynmouth had suffered a disastrous flood in 1952, which I remembered seeing newsreels about when I was a small child. Lynmouth is a small Harbour town situated in a gorge at the confluence of the East & West Lyn Rivers, some 700 ft below its linked town of Lynton. Its Building are more modern than the Victorian look of Lynton, as most of its original buildings, especially around the Harbour, were destroyed during the 1952 flood. Parking in Lynmouth is not that good, so we parked up in Lynton, and walked down a zig zag path, which took us about 15 minutes, but gave us some great views of the town & shore below. There is a Cliff Railway which you can take between both towns, no return fare at present, due to Covid restrictions costing £3 each way. We enjoyed a pleasant walk around the Harbour area, for 45 minutes or so, containing gift shops/Restaurants, etc.There is a small Museum in the Village Hall, with an exhibition about the flood, but little else of interest. We caught the Cliff Railway back to Lynton, found a pleasant tea room for lunch, but once again, found little else to interest us. There is a place called the Valley of the Rocks just outside town, but the weather was not great, so we decided to give it a miss. We enjoyed our visit to L & L from an experiental point of view and would certainly recommend a visit if you are in the area

Didn't find the people in the PO friendly, helpful or in the least bit welcoming - in fact the opposite. I just wanted to get out of the place quickly, I felt as though they would be glad to be rid of me. Perhaps suspicious of visitors because of Covid or perhaps I caught them on an off-day.

Located in Lynton Post Office, the tourist information centre provides a better selection of ideas to do in the area than does the centre in Lynmouth at the bottom of the hill, it also sells the discounted car park tickets if you are staying several days in the area.

I had a one day to kill in Glastonbury after seeing everything in Glastonbury and I hadn’t decided where to go that day. I have heard coastal area was nice place to visit so I was looking at google map to decide somewhere close from Glastonbury and not a large city to go to, and I saw a town called Lyndon on the map and got d some info abt this town from google. It looks like pretty town to visit and they have a park to have a nice long walk on the coastal side, so I got up early before sunrise and drove to the town, it took abt an hr and a half to get there. Before I reached the town there were few areas that were so hilly and narrow streets, I thought I went to the wrong way but the area was quite hilly areas so lots of ups and down the hills for a while to get to the town. And worst part of before reaching the town there’s a very steep hill just before reach the town. It could be very dangerous to drive during the winter when the surface of the road is icy but by the time I got there was not icy, just wet road but foggy morning. It was good to get there early in the morning where not many cars parking on the side of the road so I could park anywhere I wanted and not many ppl walking as well so I enjoy spending a couple of hrs of walking alone in the little town and a park called the valley of the rocks. I started seeing ppl just after 10 o’clock. Because of the winter season??? I didn’t see many ppl were outside but I thought this place was worth visiting for a short trip.
