Summary edit
| Description |
English: Lyn Rivers confluence. Quite a lot to see in this photo ! Taken from one of the paths that snake around the Glen Lyn Gorge this view is down into the town of Lynmouth and shows the area around where the West and East Lyn Rivers meet.
The road snaking across the centre of the photo is the B3234 which links Lynmouth with its more elevated twin, Lynton. This road has left the main A39 just a few yards off to the east (right). Just to the right of the yellow flag this B3234 can be seen crossing the West Lyn River, though this bridge is not as obvious as the next one to the right on the righthand edge of the photo. Here the last few yards of the West Lyn River can be seen going under a bridge carrying Riverside Road. Immediately after this bridge the West Lyn River joins the larger - or at least wider - East Lyn River and together they can be seen flowing out to the sea. The footbridge seen crossing this combined river is the point I've taken for the subject grid reference; the Normal Tidal Limit lies between this bridge and the confluence, making it surely one of the tiniest estuaries ! The quaint little tower on the pier in the mid distance is the Rhenish Tower. This is a direct replacement for the original one which was washed away during the fateful events of the night of 15th August 1952. To see this joint river join the sea, see 1256474 |
