Overview

This is a walk of two halves. The first half is a nice downhill walk that starts at County Gate and tracks down the hills to Brenden where we join the stunning East Lyn River. We follow this to Watersmeet and then continue down to the town of Lynmouth where we will have lunch and there is a chance for a swim, (weather and time dependant).

We then start the second and strenuous part of the walk as we climb out of Lynmouth on the coast path. We follow this around Foreland point and continue along stunning scenery before heading up again to our starting point.
