I visited on a wet and windy day, but it was still beautiful. Can't wait to visit when the weather is feeling kinder! Stopped in the cafe for some lunch, and was very pleased to find Celeriac Soup and a GF Cream Tea available and I wasn't disappointed - delicious!! I shared my scone with a very friendly Robin whilst watching a host of other birds flit about from feeder to bushes... Exactly what I needed to calm my mind. Looking forward to exploring the trails when they aren't quite so wet and slippery, and hopefully my bird spotting skills will have improved by then also. Awesome place.
Beautiful location with lots of picturesque walks amongst amazing countryside, easily walkable from the local towns too. The cafe makes a great rest stop with a good selection of food and drinks and a lovely outdoor seating area. Totally recommend a visit!
Beautiful, just beautiful! Watersmeet is a must if you're visiting North Devon. Parking is on the road above the gorge, note, although Watersmeet is National Trust, the car park is not, so payment is required. This is a rugged place, good walking shoes are recommended. The walk from the car park is straightforward, although, a little steep. At the bottom you'll come to the tearoom, a good selection of drinks & lovely things to eat are available, there are also toilets here, plus plenty of seating. There are several walks around & along the gorge, route maps available in the tearoom. Whichever route you take, watch where you're putting your feet, some paths are high above the gorge, narrow& with no barriers. A truly breathtaking location.
Me and my other half just love this place! We're not heavy walkers but we love a good stroll and a bit of an adventure. Everywhere you look, it's just so picturesque. It gets a bit busy at the café and we had to offer our shaded seat to a couple with dogs who were struggling in the sun as we were leaving. Overall, it's just such a peaceful place and quite magical.
What a fantastic place to start a walk along several rivers flowing into each other and eventually to the sea at Lynmouth. From Watersmeet to Lynmouth is just 2 miles 3 km. You have the option to go through the woods right side of the river, if you follow the stream downwards or the other river side. We went to Lynmouth through the woods, which was great,and back we went via the river side which was even more spectacular. At Watersmeet you can also climb uostream for the waterfall view. We want to do that another time; it is just a quarter mile, but we had other plans.
It is owned by the National Trust, and it is free to visit by everyone. It is in a beautiful setting in Exmoor. It is a lovely walk down a track to the house which is situated next the river. It's a pretty place to sit and enjoy a cream tea. There are plenty of walks around the area too. Parking at the top is not NT and is a pay and display.
This is the most beautiful place with amazing walks. Careful if you have a trailer, caravan or camper van, parking is difficult for larger vehicles. National trust membership does not get you free parking here either.
Wow wow wow. This place is a treasure find. You could easily spend the day walking. So put your walking shoes on the waterfall is beautiful and stop off at the cafe as the views are stunning. Take cash for the car park.
Do not bring your dog here! I’ve never been somewhere with so many ticks. We walked from Lynmouth to Watersmeet along the path with our small dog and she ended up with about 40 ticks on her despite being treated for them monthly. I wouldn’t return. Otherwise a very beautiful walk with a nice cafe at the end of it.
Lovely spot for a walk with the café proving welcome refreshments after. The falls there are beautiful, though currently there are some trees obstructing the view from the foot bridge, result of storms the other year. The garden has lot of wild birds that will happily come to your table for crumbs, take some seed and they'll be there all the more.
