 Welcome to our page of bed and breakfast in
Lynmouth! Lynmouth is a village resort made popular
in Victorian times, hugging the sides of the wooded River Lyn
valley, surrounded on each side by high steeply sloping cliffs.
White washed cottages line the quay, marked at its seaward end
by a "rhenish" tower. The small coastal town of Lynmouth
became known throughout the world for the disaster which struck
on 15th August 1952. After continuous rain throughout the day,
the East and West Lyn Rivers rose suddenly and filled with the
waters from their Exmoor catchment. The worst effects were at
Lynmouth because the water draining from most of the northern
side of Exmoor ends up in the East and West Lyn Rivers, which
join at Lynmouth. Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway (photo) a
unique water powered cliff railway opened in 1890. Two lift cars
are connected via a continuous cable . Water discarded from the
lower car causes the heavier top car to decend the 500 feet to
the Lower Station. An ingenious system ensures the brakes are
always applied. |
