This Guide has been recast and enlarged both in size and scope. It will be found arranged upon a principle which seems to answer to the present conditions of touring. On the main routes of communication, we have, as far as possible, taken the places of chief resort as centres from which our excursions radiate in different directions. This arrangement should prove specially convenient in Devonshire, where visitors are much in the way of making their headquarters at certain popular watering-places that afford unusually ample facilities for pleasuretrips about their vicinity, or even to points at a considerable distance.

At each place we have tried to outline how may be most profitably and pleasantly spent an hour, a day, a week, or whatever time is likely to be passed there.
