] a lane to the left leads us down to the marble quarries of Petit Tor. These are well worth inspection: they afford the finest known varieties of Devonshire limestone, beautiful specimens of which, fashioned into tables and ornaments of various kinds, may be always seen at the proprietor's (Mr. Woodley) extensive works, which are situated at the other end of the village. From the downs at the top of the quarry we also obtain an admirable view of Babbicombe, and the line of cliffs which forms this portion of the coast.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
