Scope and Content
The route book of Devon: a guide for the stranger and tourist. Exeter: Besley, 1846. p. 149.The stranger, of course, in visiting this sublime scene and extensive field of one of nature's grandest operations, with a desire to see it from various situations, will be inclined to take, among the many points of view which will open to him when on the spot, that which his fancy dictates; but there are one or two situations overlooking the more western or great landslip which seem to be admitted as peculiarly striking - the view of the great chasm, looking eastward - and the view from Dowlands, looking westwards, upon the undercliff and new beach.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
