[1828?]
Blewitt, Octavian. The panorama of Torquay. Second Edition. London: Simpkin and Marshall; Torquay: Cockrem, 1832. pp. 100-1. We have no scenery in this neighbourhood like that about Watcombe; it has a cast of wildness and solitude which is enhanced by the peculiar formation of the vale. The undulating slope, the frequent conical hillocks and the abrupt mass of lofty rock at the entrance of the defile, are finely contrasted with the dark-red cliffs and mural precipices which overhang the beach.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
