glen lyn gorge印象
-
A small but very interesting exhibition followed by a nice walk through the gorge with some lovely water falls.
-
This is really worth a visit.....the exhibition is good but it is the walk into the gorge with its paths, experiments (make some hydro-electricity!) information plaques and thundering river and waterfalls. Oh.....and kids will LOVE the opportunity to fire the water cannons over the gorge - I did and I'm only 61!!!!All this and the (very) sobering marks in the side of the gorge showing the levels of the 1952 flood....now that really makes you think.This attraction is stunning in all senses of the word....highly recommended.

There is a small exhibition in an old building with all sorts of oddities, then you can walk up the gorge where you can see the Hydroelectric Turbines, next to them are a few industrial type water jets that you can play with, we all loved this but is was a very hot day and may not be so enjoyable in the cold. The walk up the gorge is lovely but not a scenic as watersmeet. Well worth a visit, the staff are friendly and helpful, dogs allowed on leads and the kids really enjoyed it.

Unfortunately during our stay we were unable to savour the delights of the attraction. It was not open and there was no explanation as to why. We would have loved to have seen the surroundings.

This amazing attraction has to be encountered head on and with a willing heart or you will miss the fun.I didn't realize how little i know about water and what it does each and every day of our lives,which we all take for granted.The hub of the attraction is the fountain of knowledge which starts the tour and where you can find almost all the answers to the questions that you had no idea you wished to ask.What an amazing set up.The Valley itself is a place of beauty and astonishing spectacle of sound and visual delight which catches you unawares.The torrent of water that cascades down the valley has carved its way and left a trail that goes where ever it chooses and will continue to do so.Reaching the head of the valley is not for the faint hearted and it tired me out even with many stops on the way.The paths are narrow in places and you need to have common sense caution but having said that we found the way quite manageable. Reaching the top and its lovely view,was well worth the climb.A really enlightening and attractive place.Take a peep!!

A well planned and interesting walk (some of the paths are a bit steep and narrow) up the valley of the Glen Lyn Gorge otherwise known as the West Lyn. You can see the 1952 Flood Level, view the hydroelectric turbines which are powered by the river from high up the gorge. A gentle walk leads to Moses' Pool deep within the wooded gorge and see the lovely waterfalls among the many large rocks that have been washed down the river.At the entrance, there is a small museum where you can discover how the power of the tides have influenced Lynmouth's history and much much more. Well worth the visit.

Being a sedentary old codger, I was reluctant to clamber up through the woods to explore the Lyn Gorge. Nevertheless, on our last morning in Lynmouth I found myself traipsing up and down hill. And was it worth it!The place is teeming with wildlife. Robins sing all the way up the glen, every few yards a dipper dives under the miniature waterfalls in search of food among the water-kissed rocks, trees quietly sough overhead, ravens rise and fall, and somewhere I am sure there are otters and red deer watching your passing,Although I used to explore Devon and Cornwall as a teenager, and loved Lynmouth, I had never before walked the glen. There are numerous trails that will take you to Watersmeet, Countisbury or other places either side of the glen.Be careful of the walking. After rain it is slippery, after winds you may find branches down, but it is worth making the walk, and doing it again and again.

The gorge has well maintained paths and is spectacular - especially the day after heavy rain when the waters thunder down the ravine. The water cannon at the entrance to the gorge is powered by natural water pressure - impressive.

We visited the Gorge on Sunday afternoon and found the whole setup absolutely brilliant. As others have said the walk to the top is not easy, especially after the rain, as it's very slippery and muddy but it's well worth the effort! A great place to visit anytime of the year! Very educational and interesting things to see and do (even as adults)!

Well worth the climb to see the views and the exhibition is most interesting, explaining all about the various facets leading to potential global warming etc.
