Advantages: Lyn Gorge, Valley of Rocks

Disadvantages: 1 in 4 hills

When we headed out to North Devon at Easter, I was glad to find myself in such a picturesque area. We stayed just above Lynmouth and came down the cliff on the railway one day.

We climbed the Lyn Gorge, the Lyn being the river from whence Lynmouth and Lynton get their names, and read about the horrendous flooding that occurred in 1952 when the river passed more water in one day than the Thames passes out to sea in three months! Take a walk around this town and you can see the tide mark on the buildings that did survive. Dont make the mistake I did, and forget your camera, the view from the top of the gorge is outstanding.

Unfortuatly, the Valley of Rocks was closed due to Foot & Mouth, so we did not get a chance to walk through it.

Lynmouth also has a pottery, and a brass rubbing centre, and plenty of choice for lunch.
