Glorious Devon

By S P B Mais

Book Overview

"Glorious Devon" is a classic celebration of one of England's most picturesque and evocative counties. Written by the prolific travel writer S. P. B. Mais, this work serves as both a historical record and an invitation to explore the rugged coastlines, rolling moors, and charming villages of the West Country. From the wild expanses of Dartmoor and Exmoor to the sun-drenched "English Riviera" and the historic maritime legacy of Plymouth and Exeter, Mais captures the unique spirit of the region.

The narrative weaves together local folklore, architectural highlights, and the natural beauty of the landscape, painting a vivid picture of Devon during the early 20th century. Readers will find detailed descriptions of hidden coves, ancient churches, and the bustling market towns that define the area's character. Whether focusing on the cider orchards of the interior or the dramatic cliffs of the North Devon coast, the prose reflects a deep appreciation for the English countryside. "Glorious Devon" remains an essential volume for historians, travelers, and anyone captivated by the enduring charm of the British landscape.
