About This Book

A travelogue and local-history survey that traces the rugged shore of North Devon, combining practical walking and cycling advice with descriptive sketches of towns, harbors, cliffs, and estuaries. Chapters move from Lynmouth and Lynton through combes, beaches, and headlands to Lundy, Clovelly, Bideford, and Hartland, recording architecture, churches, inns, shipwrecks, mining vestiges, and local legends. The author balances topographical observation with historical anecdotes and social notes, often illustrated, and recommends routes and viewpoints while evoking the region's natural drama, coastal industries, and quaint village customs.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.

Some entries in the original List of Illustrations indicated that the illustration was “facing” a page. Those indications have been removed here, as all illustrations have been positioned between nearby paragraph breaks.

The illustration on page 14 contains a few bars of music.

Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

Page 114: The year “1860” was printed that way, but in context, seems to be a misprint.
