Scope and Content
Scenery on the southern coast of Devonshire; comprising picturesque views, at or near the fashionable watering places, Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, Dawlish, Teignmouth, and Torquay. Sidmouth: J.Wallis. 1819.VIEW OF THE BEACON HILL, AT EXMOUTH.THE Beacon at Exmouth boasts perhaps the richest view in this island; and is a row of mostly large houses, erected on a bold and lofty cliff, which, while it protects the town, also denies it a prospect of the sea, and the beautiful scenery of Mamhead. This is a faithful delineation: the fore-ground is occupied by the sands approaching the mouth of the river Exe, and the margin of the sea, which affords both walks and rides to the visitors and the inhabitants.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
