Looking from the A39 road bridge, under which flows the East Lyn River. The West Lyn River joins from the left and together they flow to the sea a few hundred metres ahead. This is a new channel for the rivers, built after the August 1952 floods, and is three times as wide and deep as the original course, which was slightly further to the left nearer the town. Although calm today, there can still be a significant amount of water coming through this area after rain on the moors.
