Devon is a county in England with coastlines on the Bristol Channel and English Channel. It derives its name from the ancient Celtic homeland of the Dumnonii people. Geographically, Devon has non-continuous stretches of coastline on both its northern and southern borders, containing both cliffs and sandy shores. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a famous English poet and founder of the Romantic Movement. He attended several schools as a child before befriending William Wordsworth and publishing his first collection of poems in 1796. Coleridge later married but struggled with opium addiction for much of his life before passing away in 1834.
