Old harbour and steps at Lynmouth

Another capture of the village of Lynmouth showing the harbour walls and old tower. The PiP (last photo) shows one of a number of flights of steps here that, allow boat and fishermen to access their craft. The harbour has been here a long time, in fact since Medieval days. It has been altered by floods, in particularly the 1952 one but there has floods here that devastated the village in 1607 too. In fact the word Lyn comes from the Old English ‘hlynn’ meaning ‘torrent’

HWW, have a great day.

Some lovely curves here, Herb. We visited here some years ago now, when I could still put up with camping. That was the last camping holiday we had - we got washed out on the campsite.

Herb Riddle replied to Amelia:

Being almost washed out of our tent many years back now, put paid to our camping holidays too Amelia. Caravans took over and now cottages, hotels and cruises. Glad you liked this.

Cheers. Herb
