Scope and Content
Page, John Lloyd Warden. The coasts of Devon and Lundy Island. London: Horace Cox, 1895. p. 398. In less than three miles Ladram Bay is reached, a deep indentation fringed with a beach of firm sand, which again is bordered immediately beneath the cliffs by a ridge of pebbles, many of very rich tints. The caves and the beach are the means of attracting many picnic parties to Ladram Bay. It is the only sandy beach for a long distance, and a woman at the cottage close by told me that hundreds visit it in summer-time merely for the bathing, some of them actually walking all the way from Budleigh Salterton![Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
