Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers of history and literature interested in English local history and coastal geography
- Travelers planning an in-depth look at Cornwall's cultural background
- Students needing public-domain English local literature as research material
- English-language readers who enjoy slow-paced travelogues and topographical essays
Not a good fit for
- Practical tourists needing the latest transport, accommodation, and attraction information
- Readers who prefer fiction and strongly narrative novels

Reading tips
- Read alongside a map of Cornwall, matching each place name to its position on the coastline.
- Read in chapter-by-chapter sessions, summarizing the main historical anecdotes of each place after finishing a section.
- Pair it with English local history materials to identify the period limitations of the narrative.
- If preparing for a trip, use it only as cultural background reading and consult up-to-date practical information separately.

About the author
Arthur L. Salmon (born 1865) was an English writer and topographical author. Born in 1865, he is now difficult to document in detail, and publicly available information about him is limited. His two surviving works, Dartmoor and The Cornwall Coast, both take English regional landscapes as their subject, showing a sustained interest in county geography, coastal scenery and local history. Judged by these books, his writing combines the documentary character of topography with the relaxed tone of travel literature, weaving historical anecdotes and observations on local life into descriptions of hills and coastline, so that readers gain both geographical knowledge and a sense of place. Such works were generally aimed at general readers and served to inform and accompany visits to the English countryside and seaside. Although records of his personal life are scarce, his books remain plain and readable accounts of the natural and human features of Dartmoor and the Cornish coast, and on that basis hold a modest place in the tradition of English regional writing.
