Let us now look at some of the more exceptional scenes in the British Isles, for the things which to you are least familiar--the great green carpet of grass, the long lines of green hedgerow, the white roads between twin hedges--all these things, which to you appear strange, occur for so many miles in the country of England, that they are common and hardly noticed by the people who live among them. There are scenes in the British Isles, however, which even English people go to look at, and in some parts these are so beautiful that people of other countries travel far in order to see them. We will begin with the coast districts along the East and South of England, and then we will go to the two strips of mountainous country which I pointed out to you just now on the map. [Sidenote: 17. The Downs--The Devil’s Dyke.] [Sidenote: 18. Dover Cliff.] This is a scene on the Downs--long lines of hill made of the same white chalk which is exposed in the cliffs of Dover. The chalk forms treeless, hedgeless, breezy uplands with winding and branching valleys. The hills between the valleys are rounded like great shoulders, and are all overgrown with a thin grass, short like velvet, upon which feed many small sheep. Here and there the white chalk shows through, as it were a scar on the hillside, and the roads are white lines running up and down hill. Here is a view on the edge of the Down country, overlooking lower wooded ground. The valley entering the hills to the right is very deeply cut and is known as the Devil’s Dyke. At Dover, and at several other places on the coast, the Downs come to a sudden end at the cliff brink, and you can see layer upon layer of white chalk cut short by the waves rolling in from the sea. To-day, in places like Dover, men have built walls which stop the waves from breaking away more of the land. [Sidenote: 19. Sea breaking at Lyme Regis.] [Sidenote: 20. Cliff at Sidmouth.] [Sidenote: 21. Beach at Exmouth.] The people of England are very fond of the sea-coast and many of them live there for a time each year for reasons of pleasure and health. There is exhilaration in such scenes as this, where the waves break against the stone piers which have been built out into the sea. Or again, what could be more pleasant than to wander along such a coast as this, and to note the evidence of the sea’s might in the broken and caverned rocks? But children love sandy shores, where they may dig with small spades and build castles of sand, which for a few moments resist the waves of the incoming tide. The tides are large along the British coasts, and in many parts broad shores of sand are alternately covered by the water and uncovered. [Sidenote: 22. Clovelly.] [Sidenote: 23. Lynton--Road through Wood.] [Sidenote: 24. Lynmouth Waterfall.] [Sidenote: 25. Dartmoor.] [Sidenote: 26. Land’s End--Longships Lighthouse.]
