Meet your guide and begin your walking tour of Lynmouth. Start by learning about the history and stories of the Harbour, before and after the flood, including why the Rhenish Tower is there.
Next, visit the Lynmouth Flood Memorial and hear about the terrible flood of 1952. Then, walk up pretty Lynmouth Street, past the historic Barque Tavern.
Stop and talk about the romantic poets, the site of the Devon Electric Light Company and its legacy, and the Overland Launch.
Your guide will tell you all about the folk tales of the area, including stories of Lynmouth's connection with Sir Francis Drake, smuggling, skulduggery and some of the amazing exploits of local inhabitants, past and present.
The Lynmouth Walking Tour starts at the Harbour and ends at the other end of the village. The Tour lasts about one hour and is leisurely, taking pace on flat pavements with no steps or challenging obstacles.
