Scope and Content
The English illustrated magazine. From Moor to Sea by Grant Allen. January, 1884. pp. 155-6. Dartmouth is an excellent centre for excursions. It is the metropolis of the coast-wise scenery of the South Hams. Besides the two main castles that guard the river mouth with their well-preserved towers, two others, more ruinous, stand close by, at Gomrock and Bearscove. Then the estuary affords great scope for boating and picnics, while the cliff scenery outside the harbour abounds in beauty of something of the same sort as that of the Channel Islands or the Lizard promontory. The water is green and deep and clear; the rocks shelve up boldly at an acute angle. All round, delightful strolls can be made through the undulating hill country on either side.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
