  • Lynton Site Visit
    Paddlesteamers, Postcards and Holidays Past SITE VISIT – LYNTON The Valley of Rocks Hotel was built in 1807 by Lynton businessman William Litson. It was as elaborately decorative inside as it was outside. Litson had made a fortune through buying Exmoor wool and having it spun locally before selling it to weavers in Barnstaple. By the 1790s, however, the the spinning trade had been mechanised, and it was no longer a profitable enterprise for Litson. Diversifying, he built the Globe Inn as a hotel, and furnished the adjoining cottages for visitors. The Valley of Rocks Hotel followed. Litson's guests included the Marchioness of Bute, and Mr Coutts the banker. It also boasted landscaped gardens with a fine view of the Bristol Channel – the perfect place for Victorian visitors to promenade in the healthy sea air. At the start of the nineteenth century, access to Lynton was not easy. An 1825 Guide to All the Watering and Sea Bathing Places said: "A few years ago this place [Lynton & Lynmouth] was known only as a fishing creek: the roads to it were impassable and the only place of public accommodation was a miserable ale house." HOTEL WARS All that changed when William Sanford of Somerset's Nynehead Court built himself a summer residence at Lynton and set about improving the roads. By 1830, too, the first steamer carrying passengers up and down the Bristol Channel was stopping off at Lynmouth and rowing visitors ashore. Suddenly Lynton and Lynmouth were very fashionable places to visit, and local businessmen were keen to keep it that way.

  • Geographies of Ageing and Disaster: Older People’S Experiences of Post- Disaster Recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand
    Geographies of ageing and disaster: older people’s experiences of post- disaster recovery in Christchurch, New Zealand Submitted by Sarah Tupper to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography In April 2018 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract It was 12:51pm on Tuesday the 22nd of February when a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Canterbury region in New Zealand’s South Island. This earthquake devastatingly took the lives of 185 people and caused widespread damage across Christchurch and the Canterbury region. Since the February earthquake there has been 15,832 quakes in the Canterbury region. The impact of the earthquakes has resulted in ongoing social, material and political change which has shaped how everyday life is experienced. While the Christchurch earthquakes have been investigated in relation to a number of different angles and agendas, to date there has been a notable absence on how older people in Christchurch are experiencing post-disaster recovery. This PhD research attends to this omission and by drawing upon geographical scholarship on disasters and ageing to better understand the everyday experiences of post-disaster recovery for older people. This thesis identifies a lack of geographical attention to the emotional, affective and embodied experience of disaster.

  • The Doone Valley, Exmoor
    The Doone Valley, Exmoor. The Map OS Explorer OL9 - Exmoor. 1:25000. Time: 5 – 6 hours Grade: Moderate, but a long walk with short spells of steep uphill. Start near Dry Bridge on the B3223 Simonsbath to Lynmouth road, parking in one of a couple of small parking areas GR 759452. Take the track NE for about 1 Km then look for a clear path, at a junction of paths, off right signed “Doone Valley “ Follow the clear track ( little bit vague near the top ) and drop down gently to cross the small stream via a ford. Stay on the track to curve round and down to come into the Doone Valley beside the famous Badgworthy Water (Read the book!) and the ruins of a medieval village, The remains are signified by raised grass and stone humps but little else ! Follow the track ( signed “Malmsmead )“round to the left rather than dropping down to the river . Move north, following the river through incredible scenery and the ever-likely fleeting appearance of deer. Note the lichen covered trees, rivulets and high moor across the river. Look out for the Richard Blackmore commemorative plaque. Eventually, on reaching the approach to Cloud Farm stay on the West side of the river , unless you want to check Cloud Farm for a cream tea but it doesn’t always seem to be open for custom !, and wander down to Malmsmead. Here, the Welcome Inn , Lorna Doone Farm and small shop . Well, worth a moment here to soak up the really beautiful surroundings. The ford, the foxgloves when out, the river – just magic.

  • Lynmouth Floods 15 August 1952
    Friday 15 August 1952 (Lynmouth Floods) Weather chart for 1200 UTC on 15 August 1952 General summary During the morning, the area of rain in Cornwall moved northeastwards to affect other parts of SW England and South Wales. Elsewhere, except for one or two showers across southern England, it was a largely dry but rather cloudy morning. The afternoon saw the rain continuing across SW England and South Wales, turning increasingly heavy and thundery. Rain also broke out across other counties of southern England. For the rest of the UK, away from northern Scotland, it was a cloudy afternoon and apart from the odd isolated patch of drizzle in northwest England, it was dry. Northern Scotland was mainly sunny and dry. Winds were generally light and from the east or northeast. Temperatures were about or slightly below normal but warm across East Anglia. Significant weather event Continuous rain began on the Isles of Scilly and at Culdrose (Cornwall) during the early hours and spread to all parts of Devon, Cornwall and Somerset by midday. At Chivenor (Devon), the nearest synoptic reporting station to Lynmouth, and at St. Eval, in north Cornwall, the rain was almost incessant for 18 hours or more. At Longstone Barrow on Exmoor, 228.6 mm / 9.00 inches of rain were recorded in 24 hours from 0900 GMT on 15 August. The highest rate of rainfall was estimated to be more than an inch per hour, which occurred between 2030 GMT and 2230 GMT on the 15th. Other high rainfall values: Challacombe 192.5 mm / 7.58 inches Rainfall map (in inches) for 15 August 1952.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.
