Devon Estuary
 |
| Detail |
The county of Devon in the
south west of England, best known for its rolling green hills, so typical of
the English countryside, has a number of rivers which end up in estuaries. Some
of them end on the north coast, others have their mouths in the south
coast. I have depicted here a generic
South Devon estuary, showing some of their common characteristics – small towns
on both sides of the estuary; a marina and many sailing boats; small beaches; a
car ferry to cross between the two sides (bridges are placed higher up the
river, where it is narrower). I have
particularly referenced the estuary of the river Dart, with Dartmouth and
Kingswear on its mouth, as it's the one I'm most familiar with. It has a historic defensive castle and
fortress on high ground, where the river meets the sea, which is now a tourist
attraction.
