Lynton cinema is charming, cosy and comfortable. Added to which it has all the latest films with a weekly changing programme. it is equiped with the latest sound and projection equipment, including a loop for those with hearing difficulties, but still somehow manages to preserve an old age charm. Well worth a visit.
