Rosalind Northcote’s Devon, Its Moorlands, Streams and Coasts is a topographical and historical portrait of one of England’s most distinctive counties. Northcote explores the wild expanses of Dartmoor, the river valleys, the fishing villages of the South Devon coast, and the agricultural heartland that lies between them, weaving local history, folklore, and natural observation throughout.
Part travel writing, part local history, the book captures the character of Devon before the age of mass tourism transformed rural England. Download the free EPUB for an affectionate and deeply informed portrait of this corner of the British Isles.
