Glen Lyn Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Most of the pictures here do NOT show the Gorge!!!!

The entrance to it is clearly signposted and is exactly where you can see the water fountain. You pay 10 pounds entry per person, are greeted in a friendly manner and are given historical and technical background information about the exhibition. After visiting it, we continue along the river on steep paths to various waterfalls. This is very nice, especially if you're just passing through Lynmouth and only have time for a mini hike but still want to experience something. Or if you really want to get to know the place and are interested in technology and/or history.
There are plenty of benches and picnic options, and the large parking lot with restrooms is just a few minutes from the entrance. Cafes and pubs are plentiful in Lynmouth.

Lynmouth

Highlight • Settlement

The villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, situated on the North Coast of Devon, are renowned for high sea cliffs, breathtaking natural beauty and unspoilt landscape. From here, you are perfectly placed to access the inner moor, visit historic houses, inspiring gardens, as well as catch glimpses of the majestic red deer and the wild Exmoor ponies.

Watersmeet Tearoom and Waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

The place is nice, the tea room is very nice, but the cream tea was really poor. Seems like this is always the case in NT cafes these days. The man got his sausage roll without any side dishes, we had to ask for cutlery... Everything was very chaotic, but the place is nice, the people tried hard... You accept that. I just wouldn't expect too much!
