His colourful illustrations depict old cottages,a mill and Ashcombe church; unfortunately, there appears to be no sign of any water mill in Ashcombe. The church,dedicated to Saint Nectan, has 13th century lancet windows and a 14th century chancel arch. 'The cottages were more frequent as I approached the church... the scenery was not only picturesque but romantic- ' The walk continues up 'a steep hill,mounting to an elevated ridge' ; the walk descends through a forest and winds itself back up to the ridge which offers commanding views of the Exe. The walk through 'Long Lane' can be muddy. A combe is a fertile valley with steep sides. There is one steep climb. |
