CLASSIC LANDFORMS OF THE NORTH DEVON COAST (2nd edition) Peter Keene, Geographical
Association 1996. Re-printed by Thematic Trails 2005.
ISBN 978-1-899085-18-7 48 pages. 29 illustrations. £5.95
This booklet provides a serious explanation of the varied landforms of the North Devon Coast. In particular the aim is to offer an interpretation which is not only useful to visiting tutors and students but is also presented in a way which is digestible and fascinating for the interested non-specialist member of the general public. The booklet, drawing attention to a large number of coastal features, encourages readers to make an inquisitive interpretation of the landscape.
Contents: Hartland Peninsula, Westward Ho!, the Taw-Torridge estuary, Croyde Bay and the Exmoor coast with the Valley of Rocks. Each of these five areas has a nesting set of Thematic Trails (see this catalogue). Each trail provides a detailed commentary and clear instructions on walks covering selected themes within this guide. The overarching strategy for all thematic trails is to evoke a sense of place by tempting the participant to play the role of interpreter early in each walk.

"North Devon has a coast of startling variety. The spectacular folded
Atlantic cliffs of the Hartland Heritage Coast differ markedly from
the lofty, rounded ‘hogsbacks’ of Exmoor. In contrast, at the head
of Bideford Bay, lie vulnerable estuary lowlands and salt marshes.
This concise, yet comprehensive, field guide admirably serves the
needs of visiting academic parties and tutors preparing field projects;
at the same time, the logical approach to the geomorphological evolution
of these spectacular landforms provides a valuable study resource
for teachers, local inhabitants and interested visitors." (Geographical
