But if so be the pilgrim resents being cheated of scenic delights, let him then retrace his steps, cross Malmsmead Bridge into Devon, and so proceed a distance of some six miles down the enchanting gorge of the Lyn, to Lynmouth. No novelist has flung the spells of romance upon that delightful scenery, which is indeed sufficient in itself to enchant the stranger, without such extraneous aid. Or, if it be desired to return to Porlock, let the stranger proceed to Brendon, and then descend the hill at Combe Park, coming thus again to the ridge of moorland that runs between Porlock and Lynmouth. Here turning eastward he will come to Glenthorne, where the wooded cliffs plunge daringly to the sea, and where the boundary line passes that divides Devon and Somerset. The name of Glenthorne clearly invites irresponsible and foolish rhyme, and so, responding to so obvious an invitation, these pages shall conclude with such: There was an old man of Glenthorne, Who played “tootle-oo” on the horn. He blew night and day To his neighbours, till they Said, “Stop it! you giddy old prawn:[9] Oh! why don’t you place it in pawn? You tootle all night, You malicious old sprite. We wish you had never been born.” Footnote 9: “No class” people, these neighbours, obviously. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INDEX ABBOT’S LEIGH, 8, 11, 17 “Abode of Love,” 147–150 _Ad Axium_ (Uphill), 92 Agapemone, The, 147–150 Allerford, 246 Anchor Head, 61, 72 Ashley Combe, 256, 259 Avon, River, 2, 4, 6–19, 124 Avonmouth, 3, 17–19, 20 Axe, River, 91–3, 96 BADGWORTHY VALLEY, 280, 281, 291–297 —— Water, 291, 294 “Bath Bricks,” 121–124 Bawdrip, 118–121 Berrow, 102, 111, 113, 116 Blackmore, Richard Doddridge 271–278 Blake, Admiral, 128–132, 215 Bleadon, 71, 73, 93, 98 Blue Anchor, 198, 199, 202–206 Bossington, 249–251, 259 Brean, 89, 98–102, 116 —— Down, 3, 73, 91, 96 Brent Knoll, 103–110 Brentsfield Bridge, 138 Bridgwater, 93, 117, 121, 126–139, 142, 150, 186 Bristol, 2, 6, 18 —— Channel, 2, 3, 18, 56, 87, 92, 124 Brue, River, 111 Burnham, 1, 4, 102, 111, 113–116, 159 Bussex Rhine, 135, 136, 138 CANNINGTON, 93, 139–142, 158 Charlinch, 148 Chedzoy, 135 Cleeve Abbey, 189–198 Clevedon, 1, 13, 22, 23, 24–45, 76, 113, 192 —— Court, 34, 41–44 Clifton, 6–8 —— Suspension Bridge, 3, 8–17 Coleridge, Samuel Taylor, 26–31, 142, 152–157 Combwich, 158 Congresbury, 49–53 County Gate, 281 Culbone, 260–268, 281 Cynuit, Battle of, 93, 158, 160 DANESBOROUGH, 142 Doones, The, 270–298 “Doone Valley,” 270, 293, 297 Dunball, 117 Dunster, 3, 177, 202, 206–227 EAST BRENT, 106 East Quantoxhead, 176 Easton-in-Gordano (St. George’s), 19 Exford, 281
