Scope and Content
Blewitt, Octavian. The panorama of Torquay. Second Edition. London: Simpkin and Marshall; Torquay: Cockrem, 1832. p. 35.TORQUAY is situated in a retired and capacious cove of Torbay, about two miles from the promontory of Hope's Nose, which forms its northern boundary, and is distant 23 miles from the city of Exeter. It occupies an irregular but singularly-beautiful site, presenting the appearance of a natural amphitheatre, while the Bay from many places resembles in form and outline a magnificent extended lake. The greater part of the town has a south-western aspect, and is remarkably protected from the north and east winds by a range of lofty hills in which it is embosomed.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
