Jenkinson, T., 2018, Ilfracombe to Combe Martin A399 (Un-published). SDV361543.
Site visit 22nd March 2018. Large granite milestone dating from about 1866 inscribed 'Ilfracombe/3/Combmartin/2/'. In good condition, set well back from the edge of the road, but liable to become lost under summer vegetation.
The A399 from Ilfracombe to Combe Martin was built and managed by the same named Turnpike Trust formed by an Act of Parliament in 1866. There should be four milestones along this route but only two have been located to date. Note that Combe Martin is spelt without the 'e'.
