Scope and Content
Cooke, G. A. A topographical and statistical description of the county of Devon. London: Sherwood & Co., c.1830. pp.164.Ilfracombe, as a watering place, has risen to an uncommon degree of celebrity within a few years past; and as there are several genteel families in and about the town, it is a fashionable retreat during the summer months, and extremely convenient as a central station for tourists visiting the romantic beauties of this coast; and as an evidence of its increasing repute, may be adduced the establishment of a regatta here in the summer of 1828.
