Scope and Content
Worth, R.N. Tourist's guide to South Devon: rail, road, river, coast, and moor. London: Edward Stanford, 1883. (3rd ed.) p. 56.7. Berry Pomeroy. The ruins of Berry Pomeroy Castle are the most extensive in Devon. They are 2½m. from Totnes, and visitors are admitted every day except Sunday. A small gratuity has to be paid to the keeper, who will make provision for picnic parties. Go directly up hill from Bridgetown to True Street turnpike, take the road on the left to Berry, then keep straight on till the road again forks, and again keep to the left. The castle stands in the heart of thick woods, on a moderate eminence, girdled by loftier heights. The founder was Ralph de Pomeroy, one of the companions of the Conqueror.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
