Antique Painting of the River Yealm

River Yealm in Devon looking Towards Steer Point and Kitley

Painted by Charles Edward Butler in 1913 this colourful painting depicts a summer's day on the Yealm looking North towards the distant Dartmoor, with Thorn House near Wembury in the trees on the left.

With the tide in flood, the folk enjoying an afternoon out in their boats can be seen drifting down stream in the direction of the Yealm Hotel.
