Excerpt from In the Verdant West
It is to be feared that there is only too much truth in the assertion that Englishmen know comparatively little of their own country; and again and again is the unpleasant fact demonstrated, that those advantages and benefits which are the nearest at hand are by the majority of us the most neglected.
Abounding as the West of England does, in rich scenery, and notable and picturesque places, yet only a comparatively few people have visited them and revelled in the unique delights they offer. Even to very many persons actually living in the I Vest not a few of the sylvan scenes and romantic spots surrounding them are unknown.
