• It -is unique, in the strict sense of that ill-used word, and ' irreplaceable ; : and it is • being progressively ruined. The place is known as Braunton Burrows, running into Saunton sands, which are the site of the most perfect links (mea sententia) in the West of Britain. In certain regards they greatly excel, for example, the much more famous Westward .Holinks, some few miles to the South of them.
