Lynmouth is located in the northern part of Devon, where the East Lynn River and the West Lynn River meet as they flow to Lynmouth Bay and the Bristol Channel. The town itself is located within the Exmoor National Park. Riverside road runs beside the river after they intersect in Lynmouth and it is lined with charming Bed and Breakfasts, tea rooms, pubs and other stores. Surrounding the town are hills that rise up and form a dramatic backdrop to this historic tourist town. The village is also associated with the neighboring town of Lynton. They share a border and government facilities. However, Lynton does not border the rivers.
