Lynton and Lynmouth: A Pageant of Cliff & Moorland

A richly observant travel portrait of the Devon and Exmoor coast and moorland that moves from towns and ports to cliffs, combes, bays and island outcrops, combining landscape description with antiquarian reflection and notes on local customs. Chapters alternate panoramic accounts of geological forms and seasonal atmosphere with close studies of churches, old houses, market towns and ancient monuments, and frequent references to regional literary associations. Illustrative plates and lively field impressions emphasize the interplay of human tradition and wild scenery throughout the district.
