The route book of Devon: a guide for the stranger and tourist. Exeter: Besley, 1846. p. 38. THE RAILWAY STATION of the Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Companies. There are two distinct buildings for the Bristol and Exeter company, one for the arrival and the other for the departure trains. There are many walks and rides branching from this spot to every part of the vicinity of Exeter. The walk by an elevated path along the road for two miles, as far as Cowley-bridge is equal, if not superior, to any we have before enumerated, from its proximity to the hills, and the closely wooded scenery around. From Cowley-bridge this walk may be prolonged by ascending the hills on the right, and returning to Exeter by the eastern suburbs of the city, or by passing over Cowley-bridge, and taking the first road on the left, and returning to Exeter through Exwick and the western suburbs. This road leads to Crediton and the North of Devon. [Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.] |
