Scope and Content
Chanter, Charlotte. Ferny Combes. London: Lovell Reeve, 1857. Third Edition. pp. 62-3. For five or six miles beyond Two Bridges the country is very uninteresting, except when one comes to some rattling, sparkling stream like Cherry Brook, or some Tor as you pass assumes fantastic forms; but then the scene alters. You get occasional peeps of the Dart, now considerably swollen by the small streams that have joined it in its way; then woods make their appearance, looking green and refreshing after the wide expanse of moor one has looked on so long, and presently, at a turn of the road, you see below the junction of the East and West Dart. This spot is truly magnificent: the two rivers, flowing down their respective valleys over their rocky beds, unite below the bridge, and disappear in the windings of a deep glen, surmounted by granite-capped Tors.From the bridge the views on all sides are superb , - rocks, mountains, vales, woods, rivers, thrown together by the prodigal hand of Nature.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
