The Companion Guide to Devon

In Devon the thread of history is everywhere evident - on its wild, grand moors and in its charming villages, in the ubiquitous craftsmanship in wood, clay and wool on which its prosperity has so often rested - and Shirley Toulson traces it faithfully in this most comprehensive and engaging of guidebooks. We follow her through the pastoral delights of the South Hams, across Exmoor and Dartmoor, to the harbour-towns, where each quayside is drenched in Devon's maritime history, compellingly recounted for us in this most companionable of guides to this most hospitable of counties.
