Moule, Thomas. Moule's English counties: Devonshire. London: G. Virtue; Simpkin and Marshall; Jennings and Chaplin, 1834. No. XLVII. p. 327. Lynmouth, at the confluence of the East and West Lyn, is frequented by visitors during the season for the benefit of bathing and the sea air. At the quay small vessels lie in fine weather. The road by which Lynmouth is approached from the south, is formed on the precipitous declivity of the valley, and presnets a scene of uncommon richness, the sea giving extent and variety to the prospect, which is terminate by the distant shores of Wales.
