    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.

      Glen Lyn Gorge is a dramatic gorge near the mouth of the River Lyn. There are a number of steep paths leading to waterfalls and breathtaking viewpoints over the gorge, across Lynmouth and over to the Welsh coast.
