Scope and Content
Cooke, G. A. A topographical and statistical description of the county of Devon. London: Sherwood & Co., c.1830. p. 166.About seven miles to the east of Combe-Martin, is the small village of LINTON; about half a mile north-west of which, is the Vall ey of Stones, or Rocks, so called from its being covered with immense fragments of stones. This lusus Naturae, though extremely romantic, is but little known. The scenery in the valley is peculiar; where the hills slope toward the west, they are spotted with loose detached rocks, which in several parts lie scattered about their bases. After this, the summits of the succeeding hills become more rugged, assuming the shape of ruined towers, obelisks, and other fantastic forms.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
