General S^Sotes. Routes 1-674 are in the North, and South-East Divisions. The district covered by this volume is one of the most delightful parts of England for scenery. The rugged cliffs, and the bold- headlands are the distinctive features of the whole coast from Dorset, round Cornwall, to North Wales. The tourist must there- fore be content with following the hilliest of roads. Inland the countxy is either very hilly or undulating, with the exception of a, portion of Somersetshire, where it is flat. The roads are all more or less hilly, but some of the main routes, through the best scenery are well engineered. During the Autumn Military Manoeuvres the roads over Salisbury Plain are completely broken up with the traffic over them, and are often impassable. The Cathedrals at Exeter, Truro, Wells, Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, Gloucester, Worcester, and Lichfield are worth visiting. Those in Wales are of no great interest. Visit also the fine ruins of Tintern Abbey and Glastonbury Abbey. Of Castles and ruins of castles there are few in the South, but in Wales, and near its borders ; those at Chepstow, Raglan, Ludlow, Harlech, Carnarvon, and Conway, are in remarkably good preservation. The best scenery is in Carnarvonshire and Merioneth; and at Llangollen, Barmouth, Aberystwyth, Wye Valley, Tenby, Ludlow, Warwick; the Devonshire, Cornwall, and Dorset Coast; and the Mendip and Malvern Hills. “ Shakespeare’s country ” is at Strat- ford-on-Avon.

At first glance, the spelling and pronunciation of the Welsh, names is very puzzling, but this is owing to some of the letters of the Welsh alphabet being used to produce different sounds from the English. For all practical purposes it is enough to know that : — Ll = thl; cld=th; lo — uoroo; u=i ; c=k; f—V; and ff—f. These will enable the beginner to master the initial stages, but, to be accurate, there is a subtle inflexion which has no English equivalent, and that can only be learned viva voce.

It is only right to say that the place names owe their length to being compound words, and when the letters are run together some extraordinary combinations are produced. The name that has suffered most is Llanfair-pwll-gwyngyll, in Anglesea, known as Llanfair (P.G.), which is made to appear as : — Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerchwyrndrobwlltysiliogogoch, or Llanfairpwllgwyngylltrisiliologogoch, and other variations. The termination to the original name is apocryphal, and consists merely of a more minute description of the locality. IJan means church, and the common compounds Llanfair (Church St. Mary) ; Llanfihangel (Church St. Michael) ; and Llansantffraid (Church St. Bride), are the initial stages of the longer words. The names are usually simple, thus, the church of St. Bride on the banks of the Conway : Llansantffraid-glan-Conway. Concise (Blossavv.

Explanation of Diagrams. The line bordering the shaded portion of the Plan is a facsimile of the profile of the Route, and is divided by vertical lines into miles, and by horizontal lines into contours of 100 feet, so that distances and heights are ascertained quickly. The blocks show the positions of the villages and houses, while the signs are the road directions: — < Road Fork, forward journey, > ditto reverse, + Cross Roads, _L Road Junction, D Bridge, t indicates a sharp turn. The directions R (right) and L (left) for the forward journey are above the Road Line, those of the reverse below. The vertical scale has necessarily been enlarged out of strict pro- portion, as otherwise the ordinary Gradients would almost have been imperceptible. Explanation of Letterpress. The diagram should be consulted first, as the letterpress is appended to it. Places named in brackets are off the road. The Description states the quality of the road, and it should be observed that the “ Class ■ refers solely to the construction of the road, and not to its surface. Class I. is a superior, broad, and finely-made road. Class II. is the ordinary main road. Class III. is of inferior construction, usually narrow, or hilly. Roads of this class are ' usually very old, or have been constructed in an inferior manner. Gradients. — 1 in 25; i.e., 1 foot of rise in 25, is a fairly easy hill, 1 in 20 is stiff, 1 in 15 is steep. Cyclists usually walk up a hill of 1 in 17. A descent does not generally become dangerous till it is 1 in 15 and then only with a sharp turn, but with anything steeper the danger increases. A little experience of one or two hills will be a permanent guide. On nearly every hill the gradient varies every few yards. Those given here represent approximately the general slope, and in most cases the maximum is given. Milestones. — The exact points from which these are measured are named. Where the measurements in this work differ from those given on the milestones, the difference in distance between the starting points, and other variations, is the cause. Measurements. — The tabular form gives the distance from any one point to another, the number below the one name and opposite the other being the distance required. For clearness the furlongs have been put in the tables as |ths. Principal Objects of Interest.— These are only notes— details can be found in almost any guide book. Hotels or Inns. — It has been found difficult to decide whether certain small.houses should be inserted or not. The tourist there- fore should not expect much of some of them, as they are the only accommodation available. At int&'vals throughout the book, numbers have been left blank, to enable new routes to be added when required.

Thereafter the road has splendid surface, but approaching Liskeard it becomes very hilly, and there is a steep descent in that town.

TO Slfracombe 1 584 NORTH DEVON. 701 Ilfracombe to Minehead. Description.— Class II. The worst main road in the south of England. From Ilfracombe to Combe Martin the road has fine surface, but is very steep ; thereafter it is a long ascent, very steep at first, then easier, then steep, but with good surface to Blackmoor Sta. From Blackmoor Sta. to Parracombe the surface is good to close to that place, when the road drops suddenly into the village and rises again on the other side with a perfectly precipitous gradi- ent and with wretched surface ; good surface again for the next four miles, then another dangerous descent before Barbrook Mill. The road then descends to Lynmouth by a sheer descent with an awkward twist at the bottom — about the most dangerous hill in the country. From Lynmouth the road rises by a two mile ascent of a somewhat similar description, but after Countisbury it is easier, and for the next 7m. is usualty good, but inclined to be soft ; the road then descends to Porlock by another sheer descent, with two twists near the bottom ; there is scarcely any surface to this part of the road — it is more like a river bed — but a new descent (shown dotted) has been made to Porlock from Oar Post, a mile longer, with better surface.

As far as Milverton the road has fine surface, and slight gradients, but close to that place it becomes hilly, and after Wiveliscombe the hills are very long to Venn Cross Station, whence the gradients are easier to Hampton. From Bampton to South Molton the road is good at first, but after Stukeridge Bridge it rather degenerates in quality, and although the gradients are not very steep, it Is sometimes a very heavy road. Near South Molton there are two very dangerous hills, and thereafter to Barnstaple the road is more or less hilly, with a dangerous descent to Swimbridge. There is a more direct road (shown by ■dotted lines) between Bampton and Stukeridge Bridge, a mile shorter, but rather steep. Gradients. — (f Dangerous.)

The best part is between Hereford and Hay, as there is only one hill of any consequence. Note to cross Whitney Bridge, as the road straight forward, though also leading to Hay, is very poor. After Hay the surface is hardly so perfect, but it is a fine road right into Brecon. There is one steep hill in this section. There is a more direct road to Hay, by Bredwardine (shown dotted), but it is very steep. The road to Hay, by Peterchurch, is a good cross-country road, with one or two slight hills.

Between Coventry and Lichfield there are a number of hills as far as Whitacre, and beyond that, only slight inclines to Fazeley ; thereafter only one hill to Lichfield. (Note to turn to left at Two Gates, thus avoiding Tamworth, and a bumpy piece of road. ) From Lichfield to Rugeley the road given here, though not the most direct, has fine surface and easy grades. The direct road (shown dotted) has some rather stiff inclines. From Rugeley to Newcastle the road is flat for ten miles, to Sandon, whence there are some slight hills between that place and Newcastle. The road throughout has magnificent surface, and is a splendid, broad highway. For Chester (R. 265), turn off at Meaford, 50|m. For Stafford (R. 967), at Wolseley Bridge, 36|m.

Although the main route to Shrewsbury is through Birmingham, this road avoids the 18 miles of Black Country that is most objectionable, both owing to heavy traffic, slag heaps, and spouting furnaces. At several points the surface on this road is a little loose, but the surface is generally in good condition to Cannock, whence the road has splendid surface to Crackley Bank. From there to Wellington the road is rough and steep, and it is almost better to go round by Shifnal. Note not to go straight forward past Oakengates, as the road is narrow and very steep ; follow the route by Snedshill and Ketley Bank, or by Shifnal. From Wellington to Shrewsbury, see Route 949.

The shortest and best road from Corwen to Bala is by Druid, and although the surface is a trifle loose, the perfect engineering makes this a fast road, as the rise is very gradual. The route by Llandrillo has steeper hills, but prettier scenery. From Bala to Dolgelley the road is very good, as far as Llanuwchllyn, where turn to right at fork, along a bad road. From this point, for about six miles, the road is all loose stones and grass ; but the cyclist can usually find a narrow track. After Drwsy- nant Station the surface at once improves, and is in good condition all the way to Dolgelley, which lies on the other side of the river from the road. From Dolgelley to Bar- mouth the surface is also very good, but there are a number of short steep hills, and those near Barmouth are slightly dangerous. The distance round Bala Lake is eleven miles. "West side, good surface; east side, fair.
