Scope and Content
A guide to Ilfracombe, and the neighbouring towns. Ilfracombe: J. Banfield, 1845. Third Edition. p. 8.The view from this hill is magnificent. The bold and inaccessible rocks, projecting far into the sea, protecting the base of the majestic Hillsborough, form a pleasing and romantic object to the east; while a hill called Capstone, to the west, invites the evening wanderer, to watch from its summit, the progress of departing day, and behold the sun, gradually descending, shed its parting rays over the soft but tremulous bosom of the deep, and draw its veil over nature's beauteous works.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
