coomb

This coomb is seen on the eastern side of the valley of the Ouse, in the suburbs of the town of Lewes.

It would be rapture, belike, in a Devon coomb, or on a Hampshire hill-top.

The entrance to a coomb, the widening mouth of a valley, is beyond, with copses on the slopes.

I bethought me, however, to try the creek which drained the coomb, and see whether it might not have made itself a smoother way.
