A stunning walk which can take a whole day starting
from Yenworthy and following the beautiful wooded valley of the river
Lyn to Watersmeet (the old Fishing Lodge of the Glenthorne Estate) and into
the seaside town of Lynmouth. Discover what happened on the eventful night
of August 15th 1952 when the whole town was devastated by the flood waters.
This fascinating walk can be shortened to take half a day if required.
Many themes can be studied along the way including: formation of landscape;
rivers; woodland ecology; local history; cliff railway in Lynmouth, and
the'overland launch' story.
