Scope and Content
Black's guide to Devonshire. 11th edition. Edinburgh: Adam and Charles Black, 1883. pp. 58-59.Soon we descend into the beautiful vale of Bickleigh. BICKLEIGH is perched upon a narrow and lofty ridge, between two deep, shadowy vales, while all around rise gentle hills clothed in luxuriant verdure. BICKLEIGH CHURCH, with its gray tower, is for many a mile, a notable landmark. [
]At Bickleigh the Exe receives the waters of a small but rapid tributary, the Dart, whose course lies through a narrow and romantic glen from its very birthplace.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
