Long Pool, Watersmeet

A man swimming in the Long Pool, Watersmeet.

Watersmeet is a famous National Trust area of wooded river walks. There is a Waterfall or Gorge with small plunge pools by the teashop but 1.5km further on is Long Pool, a rather eerie long ravine and pool overgrown with ferns and oaks, set under a Waterfall or Gorge. Very deep, 50m long. Watersmeet is 2km south of Lynmouth on the A39.
