The Watersmeet Valley is an area of beautiful riverside woodland. It is a wonderful example of the rocky flowing rivers of Exmoor and easily accessible being so close to Lynmouth. The lushness of the area and high gorges makes this an ideal place for hiking.

You can't get lost - the path from Lynmouth to Watersmeet is well signposted! It always goes along the river and there are a few bridges to cross. Nobody needs to worry about the nearby street: you can't hear or see it, the water rushes far too loudly 😁

It actually goes uphill and sometimes downhill, the path is actually easy to walk, but requires concentration and surefootedness!
