Beautiful walk by the river Lyn near Lynmouth North Devon….fantastic history along the banks of the river…..

The Lynrock mineral water factory opened here in
1911. It was owned and run by the Attree brothers, who lived at Myrtleberry a short distance up the river. The factory bottled mineral water and made ginger beer until 1939 when it closed owing to lack of demand.
The factory was built around a spring of fresh water, from which it made its drinks. This spring is krown to pass through ancient rocks that gave the water its flavour. The company claimed that it was the purest in the world - and even that it was radioactive! The Attree brothers also made use of® the Lyn itself to power the bottling machines.
Most of the abandoned factory was washed away during the 1952 flood, although the fireplace and mantelpiece are still visible just downstream from here. A little way upstream are the remains of the intake and leat for the water that was used to power the machinery
