Scope and Content
Worth, R. N. Tourist's guide to South Devon: rail, road, river, coast, and moor. London: Edward Stanford, 1883. pp. 115-116.Each sweep of the river issues in new variations of changeful loveliness; and as curve after curve opens up new points of view, one is puzzled to decide whether amid these delights spring or summer or autumn should bear the palm. But at Sharpham no season seems out of place. The character of the foliage is so varied and its extent so great that there is a constant changefulness of form and colour. Sharpham is reputed to have the finest rookery in England; and certainly the rookery is enormous. It is also noted for its heronry; and not a few of these "fishers of the solitude" may now and again be seen standing in stately case on "the river's brim."[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
