| East Lyn |
When guests to St Vincent’s visit and ask for a walk that is not too long, but is still beautiful with some
slight inclines (honest!), stunning scenery and amazing flora and fauna, we always recommend the walk to Watersmeet.
A few days ago, we did the walk again and took some photos of the route. We hope you enjoy them.
Directions
 |
| Where the new Woodside Bridge will go |
From St Vincent’s you can either walk down to Lynmouth or go on the Lynton and Lynmouth cliff railway (not exactly cheating, but rather experiencing the beauty of this Victorian water-powered genius), walk through the town and join the path to Watersmeet at the L
ynmouth public car park just below Lyn Gorge. Walk out of the car park at the top left corner towards the white metal bridge that crosses the river just ahead of you, keeping the East Lyn River on your left. Cross the bridge and turn immediately right.
Follow the signs and you will see all sorts of wildlife. You may see dippers, the odd heron, perhaps an otter and at certain times of the year, salmon. You end up at the
National Trust Tea Rooms at Watersmeet for a cream tea. Job done.
For more details,
you can follow this route, or rather half of it as this one continues on to Countisbury if your knees are feeling particularly strong. (All photos by Liam Cousins.)
