PREFACE.

The excellence of the Roads through every part of Great Britain has^ within a few years^ rendered tlie Traveller an easy taskj and the publication of so many Tours has contributed to extend our local knowledge^ not only by describing the situa- tion of places^ and their distances from each other, but by pointing out whatever is worthy of observation, either ia Nature or in Art.

There yet, however, seemed to be wanting a Compendium of Topography ; an Itinerary, comprehending as well what is amusing and instructive, as what is necessary and useful.

The names of Cities, Towns, and principal Seats, together with the respective distances from each, have been often pre- sented to the Public j but the design of the present compila- tion is to convey, in a concise manner, some knowledge of the ancient and present state of particular places through which the Traveller passes, without entering into dry details or tedious digressions.

Besides the result of his own observations, the Compiler has

referred to the Works of several popular Writers, from which

many passages have been extracted, which might contribute,

within such narrow limits^ to illustrate the Topography, or to

interest the' Traveller;

PREFACE.

Those who travel upon business^ who make periodical visits to watering-places^ ramble into Wales, visit the Lakes, or tra- verse the less cultivated tracts of the North, will find their time agreeably beguiled, by making tliis little Volume the com- panion of their Travels.

In this edition, the reader will remark a variety of additions and improvements. In every Route^ it will be observed^ that the distances are marked both to and from every place— -as, in page 95^ the distances of each place from London to Port-Pa- trick, and from Port-Patrick to London are given) that the Traveller may find a ready account of the distances, from whatr ever point his journey may commence.

The communication between Great Britain and Ireland, par- ticularly since the union of the two kingdoms, is become so frequent, that an account of the great Roads of Ireland, which is inserted in this edition, wiU render it yet more useful and complete. The Routes to Paris, the Table of the Times of High Water, and a copious Index of Places and Seats, will contribute to . the further information and amusement of th& Traveller.

It had sixteen parish churches, of which only twelve are now in use; and many of them were much damaged in 1648, when the town surrendered to the army of the parliament, afier a remarkable siege, in which the inhabitants suffered all the extiemities of famine. There is a large manufactory of ba/s, and it is famous for oysters. The castle is v^ry ancient, in which, it is said, the emperor Constantine was born ; it is now much dila- pidated. Within the castle is a library, which was established in 1631, by Dr. Harsnett, archbishop of York; to which several ad- ditions have been since mad4.

'' My lord," said the king, " I have heard much of your hospitaljry, I)Lit the truth far exceeds the report.

A gateway of the abbey is yet stand ing over the road from the mill to the church. On the part of its scite is a public- house and tea- gardens 5 adjoining to which is one of the stone aretics of the abbey, where the ground his been much raised. In the kitchen of this house is a curiously carved grave-stone, on which were some brass inscriptions, that have been removed ; and in the garden^ is a stone coffin, that, was dug up here about thirty years ago. in 1792, several ruins of the old monastery, with three leaden coffins, an an- tique seal, and some old coins, were dug up in an adjoining

In the time of ic.ng Stephen, its cathedral, with several religious houses, was burn down by an accidental, fire, and was not begun to be rebuilt till 1227, and was finished in 1426, being two hundred years in com- pietin^g.; and such care wss taken in the erection of it, that it seems to be one entire edifice,, though composed of five different style )f architecture. The cho.T- is remarkable for its fine carving, The case window was glazed in 1405, and is exquisitely painted. A. library was given to this church, in the last century, by the widow of archbishop Matthews. In the reign of Richard I. here was a horrid massacre of the Jews. Henry III, had two interviews herewith Alexander II. king of Scotland. A treaty of peace was afterwards concluded between them ; and his son, Alexander III. was here married to king Henry's daughter, lady Margaret 3 at which wedding there was a grand feast. Parliaments were held, here in the reigns of £d wards I, and II. and by com- mand of the latter, their acts here were first called statute^. It was in later times visited by the kings, and was freq^ueptly the residence of nobles. ]^ear' the minster is a house formerly the archbishop's palace, now converted into a play- house.

It is admitted to have been a Roman station, though no evidence at present appears, except at Pandon-gate, the superstructure ,of which is of di^'^-.it work- manship from any other building in the town, the arches being cir- cular. The carpenter's tower is also of Roman original. In thft time of the Saxons it was called Moncaster, from the monks, who fled from hence when it was laid waste by the Danes ; it was after- wards called Newcastle, from a castle built here by William the Conqueror's son, Robert, in 1080, to defend the country againt the Scots, whose kings possessed, an<3 sometimes resided in, this town before the Norman conquest. Se- veral monasteries were also built here soon after the casCle ; and it was greatly enriched by a good trade to Germany, and by the sale of its coal to other parts of England, and it has become th« emporium of the north of Eng land.

Som^ discontented scholars came hithe from Oxford and Cambridge about the end of that reign, and> with the king's leave, prosecuted their studies here academically, till it was stopped by express prohibition. On the north side of the river, near Queen's-cross, many Roman coins have been dug up. The county gaol, the infirmary, and some other public buildings, are ornaments to the town. At the time of the conquest, according to doomsday -book, this town con- tained sixty houses. By the return made to parliament in 1801, the number of inhabitants was 7020. George.— Ange I ,

* LEICESTER 324

is seated on the river Soar, the Ratae of the Romans, and stands on^the Roman military highway, called the Fosse, where Roman medals, and other anti- quities, have often been disco- vered. In the Saxon heptarchy, when it was -the chief city of the Mercian kingdom, it was the see of a bishop, which being removed after a succession of eight prelates, t fell to decay; but in- 914 it was repaired, and fortified with new wails. It afterwards became a wieakby town, and had thirty- two parish churches ; but, in the time of Henry II. it was besieged and taken, the castle dismantled, and the walls thrown down. A par- liament was held here in the reign of Heniy V.in which the first law was made for burning heretics. It s governed by a corporalioh, and eturns two members to parliament. In the High-street there once stood an excellent piece of work- manship, in the form of a cross. Here are now six parishes and five churches, and a hospital that was built here for 100 poor sick men and women, by Henry, the first duke of Lancaster, who was inter- ed in it. It was rebuilt in 1776. Here is also a venerable edifice, built in the reign of Henry VIII. for twenty-four men and women, which has a chapel and a library. Here is a considerable manufacture of stockings. Before the castU was dismantled, it was apiodigious

building, the court of the great duke of Lancaster being held in it, who added tsventy-six acres to it, which he enclosed with , a high «'all, and called it his Novum Opus, now the Neivark. Its hall and kitchen arc still entire, the former

f which is lofty and spacious. One of its gateways has a curious arch. In the neighbouring rnea- dow was that famous monasteiy, called, from its situation, St. Mary de Praris, or Prez, since turned into a dwelling-house and garden, where is a pleasant terrace, sup- ported by an embattled wall. Here died cardinal Wolsey. St. Marga- ret's church is a noble structure. King Richard the Third, who was killed in the battle of Bos worth, was interred in the church called the Grey Friars, suppressed by Henry VIII. which stood near St. Martin's church j and his coffin, which was destroyed in the begin- ning of the last century, was con- verted into a trough for horses to drink, at the White Horse inn here. Travellers usually stop «ear All-Saints church to see a curious piece of antiquity that was form- erly dug out of a cellar there supposed to be the fable of Diana and Actaeon, wrought in a pile of Httle stones. There is an old wall here, called Jewry-wall, where, it is said by the vulgar, that the pagans used to offer up their child ren to Moloch. It is composed of rag-stone and Roman brick ; and near it is a place called Holy bones, where have been dug up the bones of many oxen, supposed to have been sacrificed there. The steeple of St.. Mary's church was dennolished by a storm in 1763, and

•gain in J 783. According to the return of the population made in 1801, the number of inhabitants was 16,953. Three Crowns. — Blue Bell—White Hart.

stands near the river Derwent, which is here broad and beautiful, over which it has a handsome new stone bridge. In the reign of Ed- ward the Confessor it was a royal borough. The Danes had their head-quuters here, but were put to the sword by Ethelfleda, at the head of the Mercians. It was for- merly encompassed by a wall, and at the south-east extremity of it there was a castle, of which there is now no vestige but Cow-castle- hiU - and a street leading to St. PsLer's is, in old deeds, called Cas- tle-gate. All-Saints church, which was oace collegiate, is ^idmired for its beautiful gothic tower and elegant ornamenu. It had former-, 'y three monasteries. It is go- verned by a corporation. In an island of the Derwent, in this town, is a large building, where one water-wheel gives motion to about 97,746 movements, for the making thrown silk. This mill was erected in 1734, by sir Tho- mas Lombe, who brought the plan of it out of Italy, at the hazard of his life. Here is also a porcelaine manufactory, and a pottery of queen's earthenware ; and there is a considerable manufacture of fine worsted, cotton, and silk hose. This place was the extent of the progress of the Scotch Highland rebels in 1745. According to the return of the population made to parliament in 1801, the number of inhabitants was 10,832.

At this place begins the duke of Bridgewater's canal for conveying coals to Manchester. This canal was projected and executed under the direction of Mr. Brindleyj and begun in 1759. It was first de- signed for conveying coals from a mine on the estate of the duke to Manchester, but has since been ap4- plied to other useful purposes of in land navigation. Here the duke has cut a basin capable of holdmg all his boats, and a great body of water, which serves as a reservoir to his navigation. The canal runs through a hill by a subterraneous passage cut through the solid rocks, and in some parts arched with brick. Air-funnels, some of which re thirty-seven yards perpendicu- lar, are cut, at certain distances^ through the rock to the top of th^ hill. T?he canal is, in some places! raised over public roads, by means, o( arches, and it passes over thd navigable river Irwell, near fifty feet above it. It is a patriotic work, worthy of tlje noble and in genious duke who proposed and executed it. :i

s, joined with Litchfield, a bi- ;hopric, and was formerly one of tsclf. Here was a rich convent, destroyed by the Danes in 1016^ om whence the city is supposed to have taken iis name. Ir was rebuilt by Leofric, earl of Mercia. There is a tradition believed here, that having been heavily taxed by Leofric, for some offence the' clti- xens had given him, his wife Godiva, the daughter of Thorold, sheriff of Lincolnshire, impor- tuned him to remit it theni;, and lo free the citizens from all servile tenures, but could not prevail on ;um, unless she would consent to ;ide naked thiough the most fre jucnted part of the city. After having ordered all the doors and vvindows to be closed, upon pain jf death, she rode through the streets on horseback, naked, with her hair loose about her, which was so long, that it covered all her body but her legs. Camden says that nobody looked after her^ but it is also said, that a poor ;aylor would peep, and that he was struck blind.

vived an annual procession through the town on Friday after Trinity- Sunday, with a figure of a nakeo woman on horseback. To rendei this ceremony more absurd and impious, the corporation of the city sttend the woman to the church, where a sermon is preach- ed. The woman wears a thin dress fitted to the shape, l^t city received many privileges from different kings 5 and Henry VI. made it a county, independent of Warwickshire, Edward thelVth took the sword from the mayor, and disfranchised the city for dis- loyalty, which the citizens re- deemed, upon payment of 50C marks. The king was afterwards reconciled, and kept St. George's feast here, and stood godfather to the mayor's child. After the re- storation, the walls, which were three miles in compass, with twenty- six towers, were demo- shed, and only the gates left stand- ing, whii.h were twelve, and very noble and beautiful. A parliament was held here, in the reign of Henry IV. called the " unlearned par- liament," because the lawyers were excluded; and another in the reign of Henry VI. called the devil's parliament," from the attainders of the duke of York, the earls of Salisbury, Warwick, and March, and their -adherents. This was one of the places of con- finement of the unfortunate Mary, queen of Scots. It had formerly many religious houses, is large, populous, and ancient. It has three parish churches. At the south end of the town there is a tall spire, the only remains of a church that belonged to a mo- nastery of grey friars. The pulpit of Trinity church is large.

was, in the time of the Saxons, an archbishopric for a short time, and is now, together with Co- ventry, a bishopric. It is go- verned by a corporation, and is a county within itself, with pecu- liar privileges. The close is in the county of Stafford. Here are two hospitals, a free grammar- school, three parish churches, a large town-hall, and gaol. At the school, Dr. Johnson, who was a native of this city, was educated^ as were also, for a time, Addison, Garrick, bishops Smallridge and Newton, and others, celebrated for their learning and wit. The close was formerly fortified, and resisted the parliament forces for several days. The cathedral was built by Oswy, king of North- Limberland, abnit 300; it was fterwards rebuilt and greatly en- larged in 1296. In the civil wars ihe spire was destroyed, and it wms convL-rted into a stable. After tlie estoration it was repaired at a ;reat expence, and is now- one of the fah^-est and noblest structures! jf the kind in England. Its por- tico is scarcely to be paralleled. The choir is worthy observation, jn account of the elegant sculp- ture about the windows, and the embattled gallery thatruns beneath rhem. At the end of the choir, which is now open to the cast 'vindow, stood the shiine of St. Jhad. The chapter-house is oc ' ngon, over which is the library, in

* LIVERPOOL. Its situation is low, but healthy, pleasant, and commodious, at the mouth of the Mersey. It is populous, and the most flourishing seaport in these parts. The inliabitanrs are uni- versal merchants, and trade to al- most all foreign countries. Ship of any burden may come up with their full lading, and ride before the town, which is open and un- fortified. In 1644 it was besieged by prince Rupert, and taken, after a stout resistance. In 1699 a church was built by act of parlia ment, and the town was made a distinct parish, separate from W^al ton, to which, before this time, it had only a parochial chapel. The 'old church was an elegant Gothic jstructure. There are now many churches, to which the corporation ipresents. Here are also many (places of worship for dissenters of [various denominations ; a blue jcoat hospital ; a public infirmary 5 jand an hospital for decayed sea- |men. The Exchange is a hznd isome Corinthian edifice. The new buildings are handsome, and the new streets spacious. Some merchants have houses here, which, in - Italy, would pass for palaces. There are several public docks, which will contain near a thousand ships with great safety. They are bounded by quays a mile and a half in length, and able to contain 20,000 tons of shipping. About 1360 the town was the property of sir Thomas Latham, who gave it, with other estates, to his daughter, who married sir John Stanley, who rebuilt and fortifietl it. It is governed by ai corporation, to whom , belongs al

Fresh water is brought into the town bv pipes, from springs four miles from the town, its principal trade is to the coast of Guinea for slaves 5 and much wealth is obtained by this traffic. A traveller -will find his iiime w^^jj employed in surveying the buiiuings and quays of this! itown. Here is also a good public ilibrarv. The records of the town ptate that, m 11)65 y no more than jtwelve vessels belonged to this port, the whole of which amoun ed to no more than 175 tons, and manned by T5 men. The number of ships has always annually in- creased 5 so that in 1793, the number had increased to six hun- dred and six, of 96,694 tons. The town is said to navigate one twelfth part of all the shippuig of Great Britain 5 it has also one ('fourth part of the foreign trade of jGreat Britain ; one half of tho jVrade of the city of London j and one sixth part of the general com raerce of Great Britain.

* CHESTER 88

is a large and ancient city, with a noble bridge, having a gate at each end. and twelve arches over the Dee, which falls into the sea. Here are eleven parishes and nine churches. The cathedral, once a monastery, is ancient. Here is also an ancient castle. It is said that both were built by Hugh Lu-| pus, the nephew of William the! Conqueror. It is also said that the church was founded by Edgar, who occasionally made this place his re- sidence; where, it is said, having 'purposed to go by water to the ab- bey of St. John the Baptist, he ob- liged eight of his tributary princes to row hiai in a barge upon the Dee. The city is said to have be«n founded by the Romans, in whose days it was very eminent After it had submitted to the Saxons, the Britons recovered and kept it,. till Egbert, the first Saxon monarch, took it, about S26. — About 940 it was taken by the Danes. In the thirteenth year of his reio;n, king Edgar summoned all the kings and, princes of the island hither to pay him homage ; and the kings of Scoti, Cumber- 1

K. R,

iancf; and Man, and five petty- kings of Wahs, ;wore fealty to him, and rowed him in a barge on the river Dee, while he steered the helm. In 1695 a mint was es- tablished here. The streets are spacious, and the houses generally af timber. They are built with piazzas before them. The walls were firs^ erected by Ethelfleda, a Mercian lady, in 908, from v/hence there is a pleasant Walk, except wh-ire it is interrtipted by some of the towers over the gates. The piscopal see was first tianshted from it to Litchfield,- soon after the conquest, and it remained without this dignity, till it was restored by Henry VIII. In the castle, where the earls of Chester formerly held their pai-liament, is a stately hall, where the palatine court and as sizes are held. Here is also a tower, ascribed to Julius Caesar,. A Dutch colony was settled here some years agu, by whose industry he traffic was much augmented j but the most noted manufactures here are of tobacco-pipes. The keeping of the gates of this city was once esteemed so honourable, an office, that it was claimed by se- veral noble families: the east- gate, by the earl of Oxford ; bridge- gate, by the earl of Shrewsbury ; water gate, by the earl of Derby ; and north-gate, by the mayor of the city. On the east side there is a postern, which was shut up by one of its mayors, because his daughter, who had been at an en- rertainment iu Pepper-street, was stolen, and conveyed away through this gate: this has occasioned the proverb, ** When the daughter is stulen, shut Pepper-gate.'"' Kin^ Ethelwolf, and two other British kings, are said to have been crown- ed here j and Henry the I Vth oi Germany died and was buried here, after having lived here as a hermit,

is pleasantly situated, and has a good port and river. It is sur- rounded by a wall, and, being on the declivity of a hill, has a de-l lightful prospect. A magni(icentj castle was built here by the earll of Chester, in the reign of Wii- iam the Conqueror, which was destroyed in the- .-eign of king Stephen ; but Edward I. ordered t to be rebuilt, and it yet re- mains one of the must beauciful structures in Wales. On the i;pper part of the walls are ten to-.vers, and one higher than the others has four beautiful turrets. The walls, in many places, are from twelve to fifteen feet in breadth. The gate of the castle is lofty. The ha!l is a magnificent room, 100 feci: long. All the outside of the castle is yet entire, except one of! the towers, which fell into the sea when the rock gave way. A wood extends from the castle to the summit of the hill. A gr^at trade was formerly carried on in corn, but it is now decayed. The church is a handsome Gothic structure j and in the church-yard is the fol- lowing remarkable mscription : — " Here lieih the body of -L^icholas Hooker, of Conway, gent, who was the one -and -fortieth child of his father, William Hooker, esq by Alice his wife, and father of twenty-Seven children.

The church stands above tbe harbour, with an old quadrangular fortification, with a bastion at each corner, built about 450. On another mountain stands an old fortification, called Turrls Munimentum, which is an old stone wall without mortar, and in its centre is a small turret. There are several remains of old foiti- fiications and drnidical antiquities in this neighbourhood, as well asj chapels of religious worship. The parish church was built in the reign of Edward the Third, z\y^ has an antique porch and Steej5le. There was an old chapel near the church, nov/ converted to a school- house.

rhames and Cherwell, on an eminence. The town is three miks in circumference, and is of a circular form. It consists chiefly jf two spacious streets, crossing each other in the middle nf the town. The university is said toj have been founded by the im mortal Alfred, receiving from him manyprivilegcs and largerevenues. About the middle of the twelftli century public lectures of the civil law were read here, not more than ten years after a copy of Justinian's Institutes had been found in Italy. In the reign of Henry III. th.re were said to be fifteen thousand scholars. He^-e are twenty colleges and five halls several of which arc in the streets and give the city an air of magni ticence. The colleges are, Uni versity, Baliol, Merton, Exetei Oriel, Queen's, New, Lincoln, All- Souls, M.igdalen, Brazen Nose, Corpus Christi, Christ- church, Trinity, St. John Bap tist's, Jesus, Wadham, Pembroke VVorcester, and Hertford. The balls are Alban, Edmund, St. Mary's, New Inn, and St. Mary Magdalen. The most ancient is University college, founded before the year 872. Queen's college resembles the Luxemburg palace at Paris. Its west wing was de- stroyed by fire in 1778. New college has a beautiful chapel, with painted glass windows. The ca- thedral belongs to Christ-church college, which was begun by car- dinal Wolsey, and finished by Henry VIIL The. most distin- guished libraries are those of All- So : s, Newcollege, Christ-church, St Jonn's, Exeter, Corpus Christi, and the Bodleian. Among other public buildings are the theatre, the Ashmole:.a museum, the Cla- rendon printing-house, the Rad-i, di Je infirmary, and a fine obscr-

vatory. All ravellers agree in confessing that there is not such another group of buildings, nor such another university, in the world. Magdalen-bridge is 526 feet long, and of beautiful archr lecture. At Oxford, king John compelled by his barons, sum- moned a parliament to meet in 1258 ; the proceedings of which Were so disorderly, that it was known generally by the name of ti e " mad parliament." When Henry VIII. suppressed the mo nastfcries, among the new b'shop rics which he then erected was that of Oxford. Charles the First assembled a parliament in this city, in 1625, in consequence uf the plague then raging in London ; .ind, in 1644, he summoned such of the members of both houses as were devoted to his interests. This city was remarkably attached to that unfurtunate king, *who here held his court during the whole civil war. It is governed by a mayor and corporation, de- pendent on the chancellor and vice chancellor of the university. Its population in 1801, was 11,694, according to the return taken and made to parliament. Star. — Cross. — King's Arms. — Angel,

King Ethelved is said to have called a council here, and Alfred the Great to have translated Boetius De Consolatione Philoso- phiae at this place. Here was a magnlEccnt royal palace, which was the favourite retreat of several kings of England, at different periods, till the reign of Charles the First, when, during the civil commotions, it was reduced almcfst to ruins. It was not, however entirely demolished, till after the building of Blenheim, when every trace of the ancient edifice was Iremoved, and two elm- trees were planted on its scite. Henry the First beautified this palace j and here resided the beautiful and un fortunate Rosamond, the mistress ]of Henry the Second, tor whom jrhat prince is said to have con- trived a labyrinth, by which her romantic retreat (placed by tradi- ftion near the spring that still bears jher name in Blenheim - park) i might communicate with the pa- jlace, and prevent any surprise I from the jealousy of the queen Edmund, the second son of Ed- ward I. who was born at this palace, was hence called Edmund of Woodstock; as well as Ed- ward, eldest son of Edward HI icommonly known by the name of the Black Prince. Chaucer, the jfather of English poetry, was born, Uved, and died, at Wood- stock. The princess, afterwards queen Ehzabeth, was confined at VVoodstock by her sister, queen Mary, and her life was once in the most imminent danger, from a fir which broke out under the room where she slept.

is a town, seated in a vale, sur-, rounded by hills, near tbe rapid iver Greeta. It was formeiiy known for its copper- mines, which endered it a considerable place, but it now consists of one long street only. It is protected fromj the north winds by the lofty Skid- j daw. The vale of Keswick .hasj been lately much visited by thei admirers of nature. Here is thea lake of Keswick, or, more proper- 1 ly, the lake of Dcrwent- water. Toj the north of this romantir piece ofi water soars the lofty mountain Skiddaw, one of the most distin- guished in Engiaad, and the haujit of eagles, and other birds of prey. To the south is the dreary region of Borrowdale. The water of the] Derwent- water is subject to violent agitations, and often without any apparent cause. It has one peculiar characteristic, that it retains its form, viewed from any point, and never assumes the appearance of a river. Borrowdale abounds, be- yond any other part of the world, i with the finest sort of that valua- \ able and singular mineral, biackj lead, or wad, the mines of which ; are only opened at intervals, and ^ then carefully closed again, lest; this precious substance should be-i come too common. Copper, lead,:' and calamine, are also found in thi.-. tract. Derwent-water is three. miles in length, and one mile and; a half wide. Five islands ribc our' of this lake, which being covered,! either with turf or trees, add great-^ ly to the beauty of the appearance.; On one of these islands is an ele-j gant modern house. Skiddaw is onef of the most remarkable mountains in ihe kingdom, being above a thou- sand yards perpendicular height from the surface of this lake. Tins

It is lately much im proved in its buildings, and noted tor its trade in pit coal and salt, there being near it a prodigious coal-mine, which runs a consider able way under the sea. In 1566 it had but six houses, and one fishing-boat. The effects of trade, industry, and enterprize, have scarcely ever been so strikingly exemplified, as in the rise, pro- gress, and increasing importance of this rich and flourishing town. From an obscure hamlet it has become, within two centuries, oi great magnitude. Here the ele- gant mansion of lord Lowthcr forms a noble and prominent [feature in the view. The popu-

Near it is Windermere, the most «xtensive lake in England. It i,s bout ten miles in length from north to south, but in no part broader than a mile. It exhi- bits a greater variety of fine landscapes than any lake in England. Opposite Ecclefrig-crag it is 222 feet deep. It is famous for Its fine char, and abounds also with trout, pfrcb, pike, and eel. [t has a com-munical ion on the west, with Esthwaite-water, and' its principal feeders are the rivers Rothay and Brathay. This lake is frequently intersected by pro- naontories, and spotted with islands ; among these the Holme, or Great Island, an oblong tract of thirty acres, crosses the lake in an oblique line, surrounded by a num- ber of inferior isles, finely formed and wooded : they make together a kind of archipelugo. Not a bul- rush, nor swampy reed, defiles the margin of this lake.- In navigating it upward, from the Great Island the extremity appears singularly noble, its parts neat and pic turesque ; and the view of the surrounding mountains, from Cove ro Kirkston, is astonishing. At the upper corner of this lake are rhe ruins of a fort, supposed ro iiave been Roman. In laying the Foundadcjn of a curious edifice, built on the scite of Holme-house, in 1774, discoveries were made of very old foundations, pavements, and gravel walks.

* LEEDS is a large town, situated in a valcj which trade has rendered one of the most populous spots in England, and is the principal of the clothing towns in Yorkshire. It is particularly the mart for the coloured and white broad cloths, of which vast quantities are sold in its cloth-halls; that called the mixed cloth-hall is a building of amazing extent, ' in which the cloth is placed on benches, for sale, every market day, and the whole business is transacted within the

pace of an hour, without the least confusion. The white cloth- hall is a similar building. The ma- nufactures that supply these tv/o halls extend about ten miles to the

outh, fifteen to the south-west, and eight to the north and west, the mixed cloths being mostly made in the neighbourhood of the river Aire, and the white cloths in that of the Calder. Leeds has a manufactory of camlets, which has declined, and a flourishing one of carpets, resembling those of Wil- ton and Scotland. Here are also some mills foj- the cutting of to- bacco, and a great pottery. Within three miles of the town are nu- merous collieries. Here is a house, called Red-hall, because it was the first brick building in the town, and king Charles L had an apart- 1 meat in it. Here was an ancient castle, which king Stephen be- sieged in his march to Scotland. It is also noted for some medicinal springs.

235 * SCARBOROUGH Is a large borough, seated on a steep rock, near which are such craggy cliffs, that it is almost inaccessible on every side. On the top of this ock is a J^rge green plain, with a little well of fresh water springing out of the rork. It is greatly j frequented on acqount of its mi- neral waters, called the Scirbo- rough spa, and also for sea bath- ing ; on which account it is much improved in the number and beauty of its buildings. The spring was under the cliff, part of which fell down in December, 1737, and the water was lost ; but in clearing away the ruins, in order to rebuild the wharf, it was recovered, to the great joy of the town,. Here are assemblies and balls, in 'the same manner as at Tunbridge. It has a good harbour, , possesses a consi derable s-hipping- trade,, and is m_uch engaged in the fisheries. On the rock, king Henry II. erected a noble castle, aoW in ru- ins, into which Edward II. put his minion, Piers Gaveston, to secure him from the resentment of the nobility, whom he had insult- ed : but they forced it to su.'ren-

It was once burnt, once besieged by king Stephen, who was here de feated and taken prisoner, and once taken by Henry III. from his victorious barons. This city for- merly abounded with monasteries and other religious houses. The Romans' north-gate still remains entire, by the name of Newport gate. It is one of the noblest of the kind in Britain. John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, lived here in great splendour. Upon the hill, in the castle, are the ruins of the bishop's palace, and other ruins of ancient grandeur and magnificence. David king ofi Scots met king John here, and performed homage to him on a hill without the city, in the presence of the principal nobility. King Henry VII.. kept his court here at Easter, in 1486. The chief trade is now in coals, brought by the Trent and Fossdike, and in oats and wool, which are sent by the river V/itham. Here Is a small manufacture of camblets.

It is fortified, and is the first town that shut its gates against Charles the First : but its fortifi. cations are now inconsiderable while its commerce is increased so much, that it is, perhaps, the: fourth port in the kingdom. Its situation is extremely advantage- ous : for, besides its communica- tion with the Yorkshire rivers and canals, it has access by the Hum- ber to the Trent, and iti branches. The foreign trade is chieHy to the Baltic, but it has also regular traf- fic with the southern parts of Eu- rope, and with America. More- ships are sent hence to Greenland than from any other port, except London. The coasting trade is very considerable.

After digging >ome time they found a stone cof- fin, and, on opening the same, dis- covered the entire skeleton of that eat prince, together with most part of his steel armour. The coffin was again closed, as well as the grave, and left in the same state as when found.

It is seated on the river Lea, which is now navit:abh for barges, but, at that period, wa.« equally navigable for ships to this town. In 879 the Danes erected lwo forts here, for the security of •"heir "hips ; but Alfred turned the cour^f^ of the river, so th^t their ve's.1.5 were left on dry ground. Edward, the eldest son of Alfred, built a ca^^.ile here, which has bten often a royal residence. It is still ;ntire, and the habitation of a pri- vate family. Here were formerly five chtjrchft9, but now only two.

At the time of the Conquest, ac- cording to Doomsday-book, it con- tained 148 houses. Near thi.^ town are many handsome villas, as Bayford-bury, W. Baker, esq. ; Cole green, eail Cowper , Jen- iiir,g:-hi.!ry, M. Byam, esq. 3 and balls, lord John Townsend. BdL' \ — Half- moon — Falcon. |

The brethren of the Tri iiity-house hold their corporation by this hospital, and are ebligcd, at certain times, to meet here fur business. These hospitals are for decayed pilots, or masters of ships, or their widows, who have a hand- some monthly allowance. Here the royal yachts are generally kept; and near the dock is Say's-court, whicli was the seat of John Evelyn, esq, the celebrated natural philoso- pher, and author of "Sylvaj or, a Treatise on Forest Trees."

It has been long pulled down, and on part of the scite of it now stands the house be- longing to the ranger of the park, and which, from the Thames, ap- pears in the centre beyond the two extremities of the hospital. In this town is a college, called the duke of Norfolk's college, although founded by Henry earl of North- ampton, father of the celebrated oatl of Surrey \ it is for the main- tenance of twenty decayed house- keepers. Here is an hospital, founded by Mr. Lanabard, author of the Perarnfeulatloh of Kent; the first erected by an Englis protesfant subject.

Part of the parish lies on the shore of Essex, where was once a chapel, yet it is in the county of I^nt. It was an inconsiderable place till Henry VIII. founded a dock and maga- zines for naval stores, about the same time as that at Deptford. This king built here two of the largest ships which England had ever seen, the Regent, of a thou- sand tons, and the Harry Grace Dieu, supposed to carry a hundred juns. When it received its im- perial master the sails were of cloth of gold. Both were Unfortunate ; the first was destroyed in 1512, in an engagement off the coast of France ; the other accidentally burnt here, in the first year of queen Mary. Near Woolwich is ir T.

Here king John is said to have slept, the night before he signed Magna Charta: probably, t may be of little consequence to know where a tyrant slept j but' many will associate such a circum- stance with reflections on what must have been the nocturnal feel ings of that tyrant, when about to sign, by compulsion, such humi- liating restraints upon his prcrog tive. Here a parliament was held in 1236, in which were enacted the famous provisions of Merton, the most ancient body of laws after Magna Charta ; and the barons gave that celebrated answer to the clergy, '» Nolurmis leges AnglUe mutare.''' — We will not change the laws of England. Nothing re- mains of this abbey but the east window of a chapel ; and the walls which surround the premises, which e built of flint, are nearly entire, and inclose about sixty acres.

Half Moon. Swan.

* ARUNDEL is 3 town seated on the side of a hill, on the Arun which here is navigable for barges, The castle, the ancient seat of the duke of Norfolk, stands on the summit of the hill, and is said t be a mile in compass. The pus session of this castle confers an earl dom on its proprietor ; and by this right the duke of Norfolk is earl of Arundel. No other spot in England possesses this peculiar dignity. It was given by I lie empress Maud to Willjam de Al- bani, as a recompence for his de tence of it against king Stephen. The present duke of Norfolk has fitted it up in a style of grandeur and magnificence worthy of its noble owner. In the church are some stately monuments of th earls of Arundel. The town is a borough by prescription, so old as to be mentioned inking Alfred' will. Norfolk Arms. — Crown.

Here once stood a royal palace, in which Edward III- died of grief, for the loss of' his heroic son, the Black Prince ; and here died Anne, the wife of Richard II. This pa- lace was beautified by Henry V. ■vho founded three religious houses near it. In 1497, it was de-

troyed by fire, when Henry VII. was there ; but he rebuilt it, and called it Richmond from the name which he bore before he obtaine. the crown. Here he died j and here also queen Elizabeth expired.

* SOUTHAMPTON is a large and handsome town, delightfully seated on a fine inlet of the sea, This inlet is navigable, almost to the head, for vessels of consider- able burthen ; and the two princi- pal rivers that flow into it admit small crafr some way up the coun- try. It was formerly a port of great commerce. It contains five churches. It is surrounded by walls and watch-towers, and had a strong castle, now in ruins, to defend the harbour. It is a fa^ shionable place of resort for sea bathing. It was on this beach that the Danish king Canute gave that striking reproof to his flatter ing courtiers, when the disobedient tide washed his feet. At the time of tlie Conquest, according to Doomsday-book, this town con tained 84 houses. In 1801, from the return made to parliament, the population was 7913. Here king Henry V. mustered his army, when he m.ade his first expedition to France. Charles Vth, emperor, embarked here on board the £ng lish fleet for Spain ; and king Philip of Spain landed here, when he came to marry queen Mary. At St. Mary's harnlet, a littie to the east, stood the old Roman town, called Clausentum.

Tregoth- nan-house, the seat of lord Fal- mouth, stands on a rising ground near the Fal, over which river and the harbour it commands several fine views. Through the timber'j md coppice woods in the park, a pleasant ride of several miles hasi been formed on the banks of thel river. On the eastern extremity] stands Arwinnick-house, the an-j fcient mansion of the Killigvews. I

carpet ever made in England vvas manufactured at Wilton, by An- thony DufFosy, who was brought from France by the grandfather of the present earl of Pembroke. It was ver}' populous in the time of the Saxons, being then the see of a, bishop. Here is Wilton-house, earl of Pembroke. It was begun '\ the reign of Henry VIII. on the ruins of a nunnery, and is new a magnificent palace. Holbejn and Inigo Jones designed the buiidingf;. Flere sir Philip Sydney wrote his Arcadia: Vandyke drew many of the family portraits ; Thomas, the seventh earl, completed the col- lection of pictures, and assembled the throng of statues, which amount to thirty-six, with 133 busts. Henry, the last earl but one, has shewn, by a bridge designed by himself, that, had Inigo Jones never lived, Wilton-house might nave been a villa worthy of ancient Rome. The celebrated collection of antiques in this villa contains the v/hole collection of the cardinals Richelieu and Mazarine, and the greatest part of the earl of Arun del's.

Tv/en- iy-five bishops sat in this see till the eleventh century, -w-hen, after' being united with the bishopric of Sunnia^^, it was removed to Sarura.' Soon after the translation of the see the cathedral was convi-rtcd into an abbey. At the entrance of rs magniheent church lie Ethel-^ bald and Ethelbert, two of our Saxon kings 5 and in one of its aisles is a sumptuous monument ol John Digby, earl of Bristol, whu died in 169S. This town was once- I he retiiing place of William the Conqueror; and it belonged t. /; some of iiis successors for several centuries. Roger, the third bishop of Salisbury, built a castle here, in that pare since called Castletown ;' nut king Stephen, incensed at the bishop's pride, seized it, and his successors kept it until 1350, when It was recovered by Robert Wy- vill, a bl?hop of more courage than learning. This was the first castlt that was besieged in the civil wars, and the last that held out for Charles I. It is now the pro- perty of loi'd Digby. Here is a manufactory of buttons, bone- lace, and haberdashery. It will! ever be renowned for having been the place where the prince of Orange, afterwards William the Third, was met by George prince of Denmark, the dukes ot Or- mond, Grafton, and others of the nobility, on their deserting king James II. at Salisbury.

Near the castle stands the citadel, a large octagonal tower, encircled by a separate moat, and was for- merly joined to the castle by a draw-bridge. The great extent of the castle, the grandeur and num- ber of the apartments, and the] size of the offices and cellars, give! proofs of baronial magnificence, | and splendid hospitality, scarcely! conceivable in the present times. | The grand establishment of the first marquis of Worcester is re- corded in Heath's account of Ra Ian Castle , the numerous officers of his household, retainers, at- tendants, and servants, appear like the retinue of a sovereign ra ther than a subject. He supported for a considerable time aganison of '--ight hundred men ; and on the surrender of the castle, besides his own family and friends, the officers alone were no less than four colo- nels, eighty-two captains, sixteen lieutenants, six cornets, four en- signs, and four quarter - masters} besides fifty-two esquires and gen- tlemen. The demesnes of the castle corresponded with the mag- nitude of the establishment ; be- des the gardens and pleasure- grounds adjoining to the mansion, the farms were numerous and well- conditioned J the meadows about Landenny were appropriated for the dairy ; an extensive tract of land, clothed with oak. and beech,- formed the home-park ; and the red-deer park stretched beyond Landeilo Crcssency.

Kenry Lexington, bishop of Lincoln, brought the great road to Aylesbury through this town, which then began to flourish. It has a fine large church; and near it was a monasitry. lied Lion.

To WzLLS, see p. 404. * GLASTONBURY is a town, seated near a high hill, called the Tor, and is noted for a famous ab- bey, some magnificent ruins of which are still remaining ; but they have been much diminished for the sake of the stones. The curious structure, called the abbot's kitchen, is entire, and is of a very unusual contrivance. The only manufac- ture here is stockings : but the chief support of the place is from the resort of people to see the ruins of the abbey. The George Inn was formerly called the Abbot's Inn, because it was a receptacle for the pilgrims that came to the abbey. ft was pretended that the bodies

of Joseph of Arimathea, of king Arthur, and of king Edward the Confessor, were buried here. The last abbot of this place was hanged on the { op of the Tor, by order of king Henry Vill. for not acknow- ledging his supremacy. The walls that remain of the abbey are over- grown with ivy, and the aspect of the whole is grand and venerable. At a little distance from the old church are two remarkable pyra- mids, with inscriptions, in unin- telligible characters, and an image in bishop's vestments. This place is, at present, large, and has two churches. Near to it, on a high hill, is a tower, which conimands an extensive prospect, and serves as a landmark to seamen. White Hart.

CAERLEON was a Roman town, as is evident from the anti- quities found here. Here are the uins of a castle. It had three churches, an university, and was the see of a bishop, afterwards re- moved to St. David's. Its walls were built by the Romans with brick, three miles in compass Many remains of its ancient mag-| nificence are still extant; amongl which are the walls of a theatre. It is supposed to have been the me- tropolis of the British empire, and the favourite residence of the re- nowned king Arthur, and his knights of the round table. It is now become a small, insignificant town. Not far from Caerleon is St. Julian's, a place once remark- able for the residence of the cele- brated lord Herbert, of Cherbury. It is situated on the banks of the Usk. This ancient building has been much modernized, and is now the habitation of a farmer, and the property of Mr. Hunter. Near it is Langibby Castle, W.

MALVERN, Worcestershire 7^ Here was formerly an abbey, no- thing of which remains but a gate- way, and the church, now paro- chial.

Its floor is, in some places, paved with square bricks, painted with the arms of England. In it are ten stalls, supposed to have been built in irhe year 1171. The windows have some beautiful paint- ed glass ; and here are the re- mains of some ancient monuments. The wells are much frequented by invalids.

Owen Goch was confined for mote than twenty years, for having joined in a reheilion against his brother Llewelyn ap Jorweth, the last prince of Wales. Near the castle is a trenaendous cataract, called Caunant Mawr, the height of which is more than sixty feet. Not far from hence is a small cop- per mine, belonging to the com- pany of proprietors who reside at Macclesfield. From this castle is an easy ascent to the summit of Snowdon, four miles and a half distant. Here the traveller enters the beautiful vale of Llanberis. LLANBERIS is a very romantic village, surrounded by vast rocks. On the /. of the village is the moun- tain Glyder Vawr, the loftiest of all the Caernarvonshire mountains, except Snowdon, from the summit of which is a grand and unbounded prospect. At the end of the vale lis a most romantic pass.

a small place on the coast, chiefly upportedby copper mines. About one mile from it is the Parys Mcuniain, that inexhaustible mine of copper, and by consequence of wealth to all the proprietors. Two miles to the east is Llan EUan There are two mines in the Parys Mountain which join upon each other; of these, the earl of Ux bridge is possessed of one half, and the other is betwixt the rev. Ed ward Hughes of Kinmael, near St.! Asaph, and Thomas Williams, esq.] of Llanedan. The latter holds his share upon lease from lord Ux- bridge, which will soon expire, when Mr. Hughes and his lordship will become the sole proprietors. It is supposed that the Romans got copper ore from this mountain; from which time, till the year 1764, these mines seem to have been en- tirely neglected. The bed of ore, which is of unknown extent, is, in some places, twenty-four yards in thickness ; and the number of men employed is more than one thou- sand. The mines have increased the value of lands of the parish from | about 14001. to 50001. a-year, andj upwards ; the number cf houses | from 200 to more than 1000 ; and, the population from about 900 to

The castle- stands in the grounds of lord B. close to the town, and covers much ground : it was built by Edward I. One mile from it, near the seat of ^ir Robert" Williams, and not far from the shore^ stand the poor re- mains of the house of Franciscan friars, founded by Llewelyn ap jorweth, prince of North Wales bcfjie 1'240: so little of it is now ieft, that it forms only part of the walls of a barn. Near this place in the year 8 19, a severe battle was fougiit betwixt the Welch and tl Saxons, under Egbert,, who had in- vaded, the island, and given it the luime of Anglesea. Two miles ivu-ih of Friars is the priory of Ponmon, now in ruins. Just off the- Point is Priestholm,e Island, ramous fur the resort of birds, called pufnn auk. The channel betwixt Priestholrne and Anglesea is celebrated for producing several uncommon species of fish. ^^ * CAERNARVON, p. 159. The ferry may be crossed to Aber, and the;:.ce' by Ejngor.

over Lancaster Sands. It may be useful to inform the traveller, that he should set out with the Ulver- ston carriers, at the usual hour, oi take a guide for Lancaster Sands, which are nine miles over. On a fine day, it is one of the most plea- sant sea-side rides in the coUBtry. On entering.the Sands on the i. is Mesham Point, and its village hang- ing on its side. Further on may be seen Peel-castle. On the r. VVarton Cragg, on whose summit has been a square encampment, and there are now the ruins of beacon. The views now extend as far as the lofty Ingleborough. As he proceeds further, another vale opens to the Sands, beyorni which are broken rocks and moun- tains. Castle-steads, a pyramidal hall, maybe now seen. At the bottom of the bay stands Arnside Tower, once a mansion of the Stanleys. At the head of the Es- tuary, under a beautiful green hiilyl the village and church of Hever- sham are visible ; and, to the noitb, Whitbai row-scar, a vast cliff.

■^ a neat town, at the foot of a ra- 'id descent of hills. The articles ;f export are iron-ore, in great

quantities, pig and bar iron, oats, barley, beans, potatoes, and lime- stone. The principal inns are kept by the guides, who regularly pass to and from LaiKaster, on Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday, in every vi^eek. At Whitrigs, three miles to the west, are the greatest iron- mines in England.

-^ DALTON 206i

26 FURNESS ABBEY 206

was founded in 1127, and was peopled from the monastery of Sa- vigny, in Normandy. The situa- tion of it is highly favourable to the superstitious solitude of a monastic life ! its ruins give a high idea of its former magnificence. The tra- veller may turn on horseback to

R. «. Ulverston by Newton, Stainton, and Adgarly. On th6 r. of this road are seen the islands of Walney and Foulney, Peel-castle, and other bcautilul objects. At Adgarley, the richest iron-ore is found in vast quantities. On the r. are seen the ruins of Gleaston-castle, the seat of the Flerriings soon after the Norman conquest. Leaving Urs- wick behind, ascend Birkrig, a' rocky eminence, and from the bea- con notice the variety of extensive views of land and sea, mountains and islands. When the traveller returns to CIverstone, he may visit the priory of Conishead, standing at the foot of a fine eminence ; a spot liighly beautiful both by na- ture and art.

On the west- ern margin stands Coniston-hall, oncealcd in a grove of tall trees ; and above it, the village of Conis- ton. The hall h.is changed its masters only twice since the Con- quest, and has belonged to the fa- ly of Fleming most of the time.

On a steep ^hill, surrounded with wood, is a back view of the lake. To the north is a most tremendous scene of mountains heaped upon mountains, in every variety of hor ror. The church is seated on the front of an eminence, commanding the vale, which is washed by Es- thwaite Water, which is two miles in length, and half a mile in breadth. This lake is encompassed with a good carriage road. On its banks are villages and houses, adding to the beauty of the scene; among others is Bellmont, a handsome m»dcm house, charmingly situ ated. The fish here are perch, pike, eel, and trout j no char are found in this lake.

THE FERRY 181

There is another road to Winder- mere by Ambic-side ; but to those who ride on horseback this may be the more eligible, leading to the centre of the lake, where all it* beauties are seen to the -greatest advantage. This road is through the- villages of Colthouse and Saw reys. Near the isthmus of the Ferry Point, on the western side, may be ascended the top of the nearest rock and from thence, in two views, are commanded all the beauties of this magnificent lake. In front are seen Berkshire Island, orRamps Holme, clothed in wood; Rough Holme i a circular isle, covered with trees. Lady Holme, wTie-re formerly stood an oratoiy, is of an oval shape ; forming with other isks a spacious archipelago. To the north is a most magnificent scene,. After surveying this extensive sceneiy return to the road, follow the left path, till you arrive at Harrow, a farm-house. This is a charming picture. Here the lake is again

caught, and the village of Bowness

hangs on its hanks. Descend ta the Ferry-house, and proceed to the great island, where the lake will present a new and charming view. This island was long the property of the family of Philipson 5, and sir Christopher Philipson re sided upon it in the reign of queen Anne. It now belongs to J. C. Curwen, esq. who has adorned the mansion, and rendered it one of the s-weetest places that can be raagined. From the south side of the island is a noble extent of water, whose shore is beautifully wooded, and highly cultivated : the upper parts are wild, and grazed with flocks. From the north side of the island the views are grand and sublime. The lake is here seen both ways. Its borders are adorned with villages and cots Rydall-hail is sweetly seated amid these scenes. Rayrig and Cal- garth grace its banks. The latter the property ofe Dr. Watson, the learned biihop of Landaff, who has built an elegant mansion here, and made large plantations. From these scene* the traveller usually down" to Rawlin son's Nab, a peninsular rock, where are beauti- ful views to the north and to the south. For the purpose of taking a general view of the lake, return to Bovwiess, and, taking the bye^road to the turnpike, mount the hill, till the top is almost gained, when the prospect at his feet will astonish the traveller j a more charming as- semblage of the beauties of nature not to be found : nor a bulrush or a reed defiles the margin of this imperial lake. No lake, except Lomond, can boast of mountains so vast, with such variety and <liver sity of shore. On its banks are many elegant villas : Brathay, — Law, esq. 5 Croft-lodge, miss Pritch- ard ; Bell-field, Mrs. Taylor ; Stors, sir J, Legard; Fell Foot,

AMBLESIDE .,. 173

the Low Wood inn, two miles short of Ambleside, will attract the traveller's notice j no other inn in this route has so fine a vievv' of a lake. A small cannon is kept here, to gratify jthe curious with the remarkable reverberations of its sound at this place. On the top of an em-iaence behind Ray- rig (which is said to resemble Vol- taire's seat at Ferney, on the lake of Geneva), is a fine view of the northern extremity of the lake. At a small distance short of Am- bleside, down a bye-road to the / is the vestige of a Roman station. It lies in a meadow, and is sup- posed to be the Dictis, where : part of the cohort Ncrvicnun Die tentium was stationed. , Rorijan coins and urns have been frequent- ly found in this village ; and, in forming the turnpike road througu Rydal, an urn 'vas latt ly taken up. which contained ashes, and other Pvoman remains. One mile above Ambleside is a cascade, called Stuck-gill, deserving of observa- tion. It is the most curious that ..ccurs in this tour.

Rydal Lake is about a mile in length, spotted with little isles, and com- municating, by a narrow channel, with

GRASSMERE WATER . . 169 From the top of Grassmere-hill is a view as sweet as the eye ever beheld; it is finely described by Gray. The church stands at a small distance from the lake, on the side of the river Rothay. The broken head of Helme Crag has a fine effect from this point. De- scend the hill, leave the church on the r. and soon enter the road. The island is near the centre, un- less the water be veiy low.

* KESWICK 157

is a small, neat town, renowned for its adjacent lake, called Der- wenc Water. The whole extent of it is about three miles from north to south, of irregular form, and its greatest breadth exceeds not a mile and a half. The best method of viewing this enchanting water is in a boat, and from the banks. From Cockshut-hill a ge- neral view of ir may be seen ; and from hence it appears in great beau- ty. From Crow-park is also a ce- lebrated station to view the lake From the r. of Stable- hills, on the edge of the common, with Wallow Crag on the /. is a pleasing and beautiful view of its islands and variegated shores. The road lead along Barrowside, on the margii of the lake. The pride of descent would blush, v/eve it to bs told that in a recess in the ne'glibour hood of Keswick Lake, a man is now living who enjoys exactly the same property which his lineal an- cestor possessed in the reign of Ed- vvrird the Confessor.

80 CASTLE-HILL,./. \b^

Here are the remains of a fort, and much freestone has been quarried out of its ruins. The fort is said, to have been of F.oman origin : the Saxons, and atter them, the monks of Furness, maintained this fort. Grange was the place where they laid up their grain and their tithe, and also the salt they made at the salt-spring ; of which works there are still some vestiges remaining. From the top of Castle Crag there is a most astonishing view of Der- went Water, spread cut to the noith in the most picturesque manner. The road continues good to

The lower lake soon opens after you leave the village, and pass through an oaken grove. This small lake is beauti fied with three small isles. These lakes are deeper than Derwent Water, and produce ehar. Cro^ mack Lake is four miles in length, and in some places near half a mile over. Adjoining to these, by the river Cocker, is Lowes Water ; a lake, one mile in length, in breadth about a quarter jof a mile ; it is of no great depth, is without char, but abound* with pike and perch, and trout.

Behiad many wooded hills rises Stone-cross-spike, and over all steep Helvellyn. The western shore is various. At the upper end of Gowbarrow-park, it is scat- tered with small rocky islands The shores here are bold, rocky, wooded, and much embayed. The ride along the banks is charming. This lake is deep, and breeds char with a variety of other fish. Iti water is clear, but not «o transpa- rent as Derwent Water. The stones at the bottom and* along the shores are coated with mud; The navigators of this lake arc much amused with the curious ef- fect of the echo of discharged guns. The higher end of the lake is four- teen miles from Penrith, and ten from Ambleside.

PENRITH 47^

There are many pleasing rides in this neighbourhood, leading either to carious remains of antiquity, or to modern rural improvements. In Whinfield-park are the countess- pillar, the white-hart-tree, and the three-brothers-tree ; the first is a filial tribute of Ann countcs* dow- ager of Pembroke, to the memory of her mother, Mary countess dowager of Cumberland. Broug- ham-castle is an awful ruin, the Brovoniacum of the Romans, and the pride of the earls of Westmore- land for many centuries. At Lit- tle Salkcld is the largest druidical circle in the north. Near Emont- bride is Arthur's Round Table, and near it is Mayburgh, both of remote antiquity. The remains of Shap Abbey are inconsiderable; but picturesque. Near it is : spring, called Shap Spa, similar ifr smell and taste to that at Harrow- gate, and frequented for ihe same uses. Through Lowther, Ask- ham, and Bashpton, to

Above the chapel all is waste and desolation. The little vale contracts into a glen, strewed with the precipitated ruins of mouldering mountains, and the destruction of perpetual waterfalls. The road leads through Long-Slelade to

210§* KENDAL, p. lU 22

The approach to it from the north is pleasant 5 it is watered by the Kent, a noble river. Here are manufactories of coarse woollen cloths, linscys, and knit worsted stockings ; of fish-hooks, and wool-cards. A quarry of marble has been lately found near it : it takes the highest polish and is variegated with different colours. Here is a handsome houseof sir Alan Cham- bre, one of the barons of the ex- hequer. The church is a large Gothic fabric, with a square tower, in which are monuments of the fa- milies of Bellingham, Strickland, and Parr. The remains of the castle are on a fine hill. In this neighbourhood are many delight- ful rides, Down the east Side of the river leads to Levens-park, the seat of R! B. Howard, esq. Here is one of the sweet est spots that fancy can imagine the woods, the rocks, the river the grounds, are all beautifully varied. There is a petrifying spring in tjj^e park, that incrusts vejgetable bodies, as moss, and leaves of trees ; it is called the Dropping Well. At a small di. stance is Hincaster, where the Ro mans had a camp. Within the park is Kirksheafi, mentioned by Camden as a place frequented by the Romans. The gardens be- longing to this seat are curious, in

221 232

the old style, and said to have been planned by the gardener of James , the Second, who resided here with colonel Graham, during some part jf the troubles of that prince. Sizergh-hall is a venerable old building, in a pleasant situation, formed for a place of defence : it belongs to the family of Strick- land. On the edge of a mountain mile from Kendal, is a natural curiosity, called Claythorp Glints ; it consists of a large plain of lime- stone rock, six hundred yards in length, and two hundred in breadth.

To ANTRIM.

DUBLIN is the capital of Ire land, in the county of the sam^ name. Ir is seated on the river LifFey, in view of the sea on the east. It is about two miles and a half in extent both in length and breadth. It was erected into a bishopric by William the Con- queror, in 1084- ; and into an archbishopric in 1152. The streets .f Dublin have a near resemblance to those of London, it contains two cathedrals, eighteen parish churches, two chapels of ease, fifteen Roman-catholic chapel thirteen raecting-houscs for dis-i senters of various denominations three foreign churches, and a sy- nagogue. There are several mag- ficent streets and squares, manyi of which aie newly built. Among the principal public buildings are, the castle, the residence of the viceroy, which was built in 1213; Trinity college , that which was the parliament house ; the royal exchange ; the ne^v custom-house jj the royal hospital at Kilmainham,| for invalids 5 and Essex-bridge," one of the five bridges over thei Liffey. The harbour is choaked up with two banks of sand, which prevent vessels of large burthen from going over the bar; a defect which wiil be, remedied,' no doubt, by some fine projected^ improvements. It is sixty miles west of ijolyhead in Wales 5 and

three hundred and thirty north- west of London. This city re- turns two, and the university one member, to the united parliament. DRUMCONDRA ...... 82

* LONDONDERRY, Derry, is a very considerable town, the capi- tal of the county. Its foitifications are not strong, and yet it is re- markable for a long siege it sus- tained against king James the Se- cond, in 1689. It is a modern place, built by a company of Lon- don adventurers, in the reign of James the First. It consists of Jonly two streets^ neat and well paved } and the houses are mostly built of freestone. At the siege, when all the commanding officers were dead, they chose Mr. Walker, a clergyman, for their head, who performed wonders by his bravery and conduct, till a naval force from England, wi^h some troops under general Kirkc, broke the boom acro.ss the harbour, and brought a seasonable relief j by which the enemy were so dispirited, as to raise the siege. This town is seared on the river Mourn, near its mouth ; and has a considerable inland trade, as well as its trade to America and the West Indies. It returns one member to the united parliament,

This is a small sea-por'c, on the western coast of a largvj bay of the same name, opening into the Atlantic. Sonie coarse linen and woollen cloths are made here ; but fishing is the chief occupation of the inhabitants. The bay and river abound with greyt variety of fish, and afford annually a plenti- ful supply of herrings. Here lived Morgan, of astonishing talents as an arithmetician. He could mul- tiply nine figures ty an equal num- ber, without tlie use of pen and ink. The French, under general Humbert, landed here on the 22d of August, 17D8, and after an op- position from a small party of fen- cibles, took the bishop, and a number of others, prisoners. On the 24th they marched towar-ds Ballina ; but finding themselves op- posed, they returned to Killala, and on the 26th advanced to Cas- tlebar. An entertaining and cir- cumstantial account of this expe- dition was afterwards printed by the bishop pf Killala.

Packets and bye-boats sail every tide for Calais and for Boulogne, at the fare of half-a-guinea for each passenger. A whole packet may be obtained at any price between twelve and fifteen pounds. The! fore from Calais has been recently reduced, and a packet usually sails, for Dover every tide. Travellers may go from Calais by one dili- gence at 56 hvres, and by the other at 49 livres, for each passen- ger.
