Watersmeet is very near to Lynton and Lynmouth in which the East Lyn River is actually joined by Hoar Oak Water creating a place of outstanding natural beauty along with a real treat for any kind of walker experiencing Devon walks.
After heavy rain the night time before the waterfalls were gushing and also the weather in the valleys was very damp and so i made sure I had a great waterproof jacket on as well as my walking boots to prevent slipping on the paths and tracks along this walking route.
From the vehicle park at Combe Park I walked over the bridge and continued to walk across the public bridleway on the east bank from the river. I continued lower this pathway to Watersmeet in order to then cross the footbridge in order to Watersmeet House.
At Watersmeet House I took the general public footpath to walk across the east bank of the actual river to splendid views in early stages as the river dropped away to appear down the steep wooded area. The pathway is then super easy to follow and quite level and so i walked very happily till I reached Wester Wooden.
I continued to stroll straight ahead until We reached Lynmouth where When i found a pathway opposite the church within the village centre which zigged as well as zagged steeply uphill via Lyn Cleave where When i reached the rocky smt at Oxen Tor. Catching my breath it had been taken away again through the awesome views.
I then joined the walking routes from the Two Moors Way as well as Tarka Trail to Myrtleberry Cleave where When i walked left at the fork and back to Watersmeet House a great 6 miles or therefore later taking me simply over 2 hours.
Great post - thanks
