  The company was formed by members of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway Association (now a charitable trust) to rebuild and operate, using mainly volunteer labour, the Victorian narrow-gauge railway which ran across 20 miles of North Devon between 1898 and 1935. The railway re-opened to passengers in 2004, and is based at Woody Bay.
  
  In 2007 the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Community interest company (CIC) was formed by the merger and conversion of two existing companies, simplifying the structural relationship between the operating company and the trust and, through the CIC status, adding value and encouraging greater local community involvement. The company is registered at Companies House with the number 03390170.
