The Cornish Coast (South), and the Isles of Scilly

A detailed travel narrative that follows the southern Cornish shore from the Tamar estuary westward through fishing villages, estuaries, and headlands to Land's End and then to the Isles of Scilly. It combines route-by-route descriptions, local history, topographical notes, and accounts of shipwrecks, smuggling, and maritime life, with chapters on towns such as Looe, Fowey, Falmouth, and Penzance, industrial notes on china-clay works, and features on lighthouses, churches, and natural coves. Illustrated maps and plates accompany practical observations, antiquarian anecdotes, and reflections on coastal customs and landscape.
