Description

CASTLE ROCK. LYNTON.

On the bold, storm-beaten coast of North Devon there are many beautiful spots, but there are few which rival, and none which excel, Lynton and Lynmouth— twin towns, the one perched high on the cliff, the other nestling below round tlte little port. Just outside Lynton to the west rises the hold crag known as the " Castle Hill." The whole of this North Devon country is rich in history and legend. To the east lies Exmoor, the scene of Blnckmore's famous story of " Lorna Doone" ; to the west are Morthoe. Westward Ho. Lundy Island, and the fatal "Shutter." names which bring back Kingsley's immortal story of " Westward Ho." Devon is the land of England's sailors, and a typical Devon scene should as a matter of right include the sea which washes two sides of the county.
