Activities
When the swell is
right, the surfing off
Lynmouth is world class (pictured). At other times, the
renowned
surfing
beaches of C
royde
and Woolacombe are only about 40
minutes away.When the river is in spate, whitewater canoeing for the experienced is possible on the East Lyn past the Lodge (pictured). Other watersports are available on Exmoor's Wimbleball Lake.
The
East
Lyn
is
paradise
for
game
fishing and
salmon an
d trout migrate
to their spawning grounds past the Lodge (the pictured 6
1/2 lb
sea trout was caught literally on the doorsteps of
Myrtleberry). Note
- the fishing
season for Salmon is from March 1st - September 30th &
for Trout is
from March 15th - September 30th
and an Environment Agency Rod license is
needed for any fishing on UK rivers. Fishing is
available from
the garden (see Booking page)
or day/week
tickets for the rest of the East Lyn are available from many places
including the Lynton Tourist
Information Centre.
Failing all of that, just make the most of being in the unofficial walking capital of the UK with easy circular walks via the Blue Ball Inn at Countisbury, the Rockford Inn at Rockford, the Rising Sun at Lynmouth or the Crown at Lynton all from your doorstep.
