EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning black-and-white photograph of Devon's enchanting Doone Valley, captured in 1919. Nestled in the heart of Exmoor National Park, this idyllic inland scenery has long been a source of inspiration for writers and artists, most notably R.D. Blackmore, whose classic novel "Lorna Doone" brought the valley to international fame. The Doone Valley, also known as the Vale of Ralegh, is a picturesque and historic region characterized by its rolling hills, lush greenery, and the winding River Taw. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty of the valley as it appeared over a century ago. The serene landscape in this image is dotted with quaint cottages and farmhouses, their whitewashed walls and thatched roofs standing in stark contrast against the dark, imposing backdrop of the surrounding hills. The River Taw, meandering through the valley floor, adds a sense of tranquility and life to the scene. The rich history of the Doone Valley is deeply intertwined with the legend of the Doone family, a notorious group of outlaws who once called this region their home. Their tales of banditry, romance, and revenge have captivated generations, making the Doone Valley a must-visit destination for history buffs and literary enthusiasts alike. This photograph, a beautiful testament to the enduring allure of Devon's Doone Valley, invites us to explore the past and appreciate the timeless beauty of nature. A true treasure for anyone with a passion for history, literature, or simply the love of a breathtaking landscape.
