| Summary | "A West Country Pilgrimage" by Eden Phillpotts is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work explores the picturesque landscapes, historical sites, and literary associations of the West Country, particularly in Devon and Cornwall. The author likely narrates his journey through various locations, sharing reflections on the natural beauty and historical significance of each place, inviting readers to appreciate the rich tapestry of history and culture that the region offers. The beginning of the book introduces the idyllic setting of Hayes Barton, described as a green valley rich in flora and history. The narrative poetically captures the landscape, detailing the tranquility of lambs playing in the meadows and the confluence of historical stories, particularly focusing on Walter Ralegh, who was reputedly born there. As the opening unfolds, Phillpotts establishes a connection between the natural beauty of the West Country and the historical narratives tied to significant figures, setting a tone of reverence and nostalgia for the past intertwined with the present splendor of the region.
