| Description: | West Lyn River, 320 yd. SW of the river bridge at Lynbridge. Looking W. (upstream). North Exmoor floods, 1952. West Lyn gorge. A cliff of head caused by severe undercutting of the river. The geologist is standing on a water filter while the associated pipeline is under the rebuilt stone-edged path. The flood destroyed both the filter and the pipeline, sweeping the head etc. off the solid rock (Lynton Beds) which is seen in the river bed and to the right of the pathway. A small landslip is seen about 50 yards beyond the geologist. |
