What reading level is The Heart of the West a book of the West Country From Bristol to Lands End book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the words of old Carew, the Elizabethan Cornish historian, we can guess that the harbour was not a success in its attempt to provide " a Kay for the Rode of shippinge. " The settlement remained an insignificant fishing-village, and the fishing itself decayed when pilchards ceased to reward the watching of the huers. Smuggling, a century or so since, doubtless paid far better ; and visitors are now paying best of all. For the town's true antecedents we must probably go to Crantock and the m...outh of the Gannel. There can be no doubt that the Gannel once gave tolerable anchorage, and that its navigation has been ruined by the sands. There was certainly an older " quay " here before Newquay was born ; earh- topographers tell us so, and there are yet traces of old mooring-places. Tradi- tion indeed speaks of a large town, the so-called Lan- garrow, that was destroyed long since by sea and sand. On all the headlands around are signs of pre- historic habitation ; \\e can surmise a large popula- tion, even in days long earlier than the Celtic founding of Crantock church.
