South Devon and south Cornwall, with a full description of Dartmoor and the Isles of Scilly . t atthe New London Hotel by Longbrook Street, which descends andis followed by Pennsylvania Road, which crosses the Southernrailway, and is thence continued by a long hill which leads upthrough Pennsylvania, the pleasantest suburb of the city. Inthis quarter is the County Cricket Ground. By turning to theright at one or two unmistakable points birds-eye views aregained which include not only the city itself but the countrybeyond as far as the sea, the estuary of the Exe, and the richly-wooded Haldon range to the right of it. On the top of the hill,left of the road, is a small reservoir hr.), whence the prospect isstill more extensive ; ask leave at the cottage close by. Then,on the same side about J m. from the reservoir, is the entrance tothe Duryard Park Estate (toll). Through this, two drives, ofwhich the farther one, Argyll Road, is the better, lead down to thevalley of the Exe, entering the high-road about half a mile northof St. Davids Station. The entire round is about 4 EXCURSIONS FROM EXETER. Exeter to Ex mouth and Budleigh Salterton. Distances by rail.—Exeter (Queen Street) to Topsham, 5J m. ;Exmouth, 10J m. ; Budleigh Salterton, 15 ra. * The round from Exeter by Exmouth, Budleigh, and SidmouthJunction and back to Exeter is 29 ra.—break of journey allowed. Motor buses also run. This forms the first stage in the coast-route which pedestriansoften take eastwards from Exeter. From Topsham onwardsroad and rail are never far apart. Those who have come alongthe coast from the west, and do not wish to visit Exeter, mayeither cross the mouth of the Exe by ferry from the Warren, acontinuous spit of sand extending from between Dawlish andStarcross nearly to Exmouth, or they may take one of the manyboats from the pier near Starcross Station to Exmouth. FromDawlish it is 3-J- miles to the end of the Warren, whence itis J mile across to Exmouth, and from Starcross
