ch the sinuosities of the shore-line are explored. Taking itleisurely the traveller will be amply rewarded for his pains.Ivy Cove, Pudcombe Cove, Old Mill Bay, which are successivelypassed on the way southward, are all delightful, but involve agood deal of up-and-down work that a summers sun may temptthe traveller to abbreviate by crossing the several combes ashigh up as possible. From Itoward Cove and Point the coastturns westward, and we soon get a fine view across the mouth ofthe Dart and of the whole of Start Bay, terminated by the light-house-crowned cliffs of Start Point. After passing Froward Pointwe have to quit the coast for a while, as the sea-slopes aboveNewfoundland Harbour form a warren which is closed to thepublic. The day-mark on the higher ground is a modern erection.On the far side of the combe ending in Kiln Cove is a road whichskirts the estuary to Kingswear (p. 109), and affords charmingviews. Kingswear Castle (private) is below, and opposite it isDartmouth Castle.
