[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Watersmeet House is part of the National Trust. It was in the 19th century a private fishing lodge, now in the summer months it is a tea room for walkers from Lynmouth.

I selected this photo as it is one of my favourite places to visit. The sound of the rapidly flowing water roars down the East Lyn River in front of the house. It is 2pm in the afternoon and the setting sun is closing in over the valley.

The following is from Wikipedia:

Watersmeet House is a former fishing lodge located in Lynmouth, Devon, England, and used today as an information centre, tea room and shop by the National Trust, who have owned it since 1996.

The fishing lodge, which dates from approximately 1832, stands at the bottom of a deep gorge at the confluence of the East Lyn River and Hoar Oak Water. The site has been a tea garden since 1901.

Watersmeet House is the starting-off point for some 40 miles (approximately 65 km) of woodland, streamside and seaside walks. The South West Coast Path is .75 miles (1.2 km) away."
