The route starts with magnificent views up the East Lyn valley and then takes you through sites of iron age settlements and enclosures. The route then brings you down to Hillsford Bridge and follows Hoaroak Water to Watersmeet.
From Watersmeet you are walking up the East Lyn. Past Deep Pool, one of the local 'secret' swimming spots, to Rockford and the delightful Rockford Inn. A traditional Exmoor pub with a fine selection of beverages and nice menu. Very handy for composing yourself before the accent up to Butter Hill.
From Butter Hill there are glorious views over the Bristol Channel, Wales and along the coast. It's then a short drop down to join the South West Coast Path. Walking on the cliff side the path will take you down Countisbury Hill to Lynmouth.
From Lynmouth the best advice is to take the railway up the hill to Lynton (It's the best money you will spend all day). From Lynton the route takes you via the Lyn Way to Lynbridge and the final push up to Summer House Hill and LHR.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
