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.

In this Gristle the De Veres, eails

entertained his royal master in a
magnificent manner, and who, at
the departure of the king, ordered
all his retainers, with their liverie
and badges, to be drawn up in
two lines, that their appearance
might be the more gallant and
splendid. '' My lord," said the
king, " I have heard much of
your hospitaljry, I)Lit the truth far
exceeds the report. These men
so well dressed on both sides of
me are, no dcubi, your menia
sei-vantsf" The ear! smiled, and
confessed that his foriune was too
small for such niagnifictn-e.
They are most of them," added
he, *' my retainers, who ?re come
to do me service at this time
when they know I am honoured
with your highnes^'s presence."
The king startled, and said, " By
my faith, my lord, I thank you
for your good cheer, but I must
not allow my laws to be broktn

;peak to you." The carl is sai-J

was rector of this place from IGSy
to 173.T. In this p..^rish is a spring
which he mentions in the latt
work, as a proof that springs have
their origin from the sea, and not
from ram and vapours. This
spring, in the driest seasons, was
little dim.inished. after an observ-
ation of more than twenty years,
although other streams and an ad-
joining brook had been dry for
months together. Upminster-hall
was granted by king Harold to the
abbey of ■ Waltham-cross, and was
anciently the hunting-seat of the
abbots. The house, built of tfm-
ber, is supposed to have been
erected in the I'eign of Henry VI.

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,

tiH retains ; and, after passin^
through thQ hands of numerous

of Henry Hare Townsend, esq. It
is paitly ancient and partly modern.
In the house is a deep well, over
which is an ancient biick tovrer,
the upper part of which serves as a
dairy. In this parish is Mount-
Pleasant, another house of Mr.
Townsend. The church is seated
on an eminence j over the porch of
which is an apartment, where tht-
parish business was formerly trans-
acted. It was inhabited by Eliza-
beth Flemming, an alms-woman,
who had lived in it more than sixty
years, and, according to her own
account, passed her hundredth year
on March 17, 1790. At the end
of Page- green stands a remarkable
circular clump of elms, called
" the seven sisters." In a lirick-
field on the west side of the roadi
St. Loy's well, which is said to be
always full, and never to run over ,
and in a field opposite the vicarage-
house rises a spring, called " bi

mon people relate sonn.e strange
cures. On the east side of the
road, from time immemorial, has
been a cross. It was formerly a
column of wood ra!.s':d upon a lit-
tle hillock, vi-hence the village took
the nam- of Hi^h-Cr^ss. It was
taken d.jwn about 200 years ago,,
and th ■ piece:it structure erected

king James resided at Theobalds,
this chase was well stocked with
deer ; but in the civil wars it was
tripped of the game and timber,
and let out in faiiTis. At the Res-
toration it was again laid open,
woods were planted, and the chase
was again stocked with dterj but,
by an ace of parliament, in 1779,
it was disforested. In this town,

It suffered rmuch in the ravages of
che Danes ; but under the Nor
mans it revived. 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. Its members may claim a
seat in the house of com.mons next
to the cirizens of London, It has
a- strong stone bridge over the
Ouse, much admired for its archi-

stands at the end of the Picts'

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

of Northumberland, rebuilt and
walled it round. It was again so

ple call it the Oyster-hills. Mr.
Pennant calls it Osterhill, and
conjectures it to have been the
scite of the Saxon palace at Kings-
bury. St Alban's is famous for
the victory obtained in 1455 over

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-

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

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.

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

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

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

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. His figure is

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. St.

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.

there are few vestiges to be traced,

* 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

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

* 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-

jit has thirteen parish churches. It;
iis seated at the -(roafluence of ti-.c;
143 From London to Holyhead, &;c. 144
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,

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,

King Ethelved is said to have

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. Here is now

the victory obtained by the duke
of Marlborough over the French

nine wells that rise near the source
of the river Wye. Their waters
were noted in tke time oH the Ro-
mans : they are hot and sulphure
ous, but palatable ; they create an
appetite, and open obstructions
and, if bathed in, give relief in
corbutic rheumatisms, nervous
cases, &c. The building for the
bath was erected by George earl
of Shrewsbuiyj and here Mary
queen of Scots resided for some
time. The duke of Devonshire
as erected a beautiful building in
the for(j) of a crescent, under which
are piazzas and shops. Much

* KESWICK.,..., 2.^1
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

3262 * WHITEHAVEN is a seaport
town, un the north end of a great
hill, washed by the tide of Flood
on the west side, where there is a
large rock, or quarry of hard \vhite
stone, which gives n^mc to the
place, and which, with the help
of a strong stone wall, secures the
harbour. 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-

265 STAVELEY 85
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. At the head

* 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. The population oi this

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-

bridge. It is not a large place,
for it contains but one parish
church, besides the cathedral. The
market place is spacious, and the
streets are regular. It has a trade
in corn, coal, and timber. The
cathedral was formerly a monas-
teiy, is a majestic structure, full
of curious work, and has" a large
choir. Jt was founded in 655, to
'vhich the abbot of Croyland and
his monks fiying for protection in
the year 870, they were overtaken
and murdered in a court of this
monastery, called the monk
church-yard, because they were
ill there buried. To this day is to
be seen the tomb-stone, with their
egigies, which was erected over
their common grave. It was con-
verted into a bishop's see by Hen-
ry VIII. Here are the monuments

whose diocese is the largest in
England. The cathedral is much
admired for its interior architec
ture, which is iu the richest and
lightest Gothic style. The great
bell, called Tom of Lincoln,
quires fifteen able men to ring it.

was once burnt, once besieged by
king Stephen, who was here de

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

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. Among the
public buildings are the Trinity-
house, for the relief of seamen and
tlieir widows, and an exchange,

In 17S4, the society of antiqua-

that the remains of king Alfred the
Great, who died in 90 1 , were de-
posited in this church, they de-
puted two of their members to ex-
amine into the fact. 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 appears
ihat Alfred, being wounded in the

river Lea, which is now navit:abh
for barges, but, at that period, wa.«
equally navigable for ships to this

Edward, the eldest son of Alfred,
built a ca^^.ile here, which has bten
often a royal residence. It is still

vate family. Here were formerly
five chtjrchft9, but now only two.

has two parish churches, and t\yo
hospitals, one of which was incor-
porated by Henry VIIL and is
called Trinity-house of Deptford
Stiond. 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." In
this house the czar Peter the Great
resided for some time, and in thii;
yard cohnpleted his knowledge in
the practical part of naval architec-
I R. R.i

sir Francis Drake sailed round the
v/orld, was, by queen Elizabeth's
order, Jnid up in a dock here, for
monument. Part of it still
exists, in form of an elbow-chaii,
preserved in the museum at Ox-j
ford. Tic poet, Cowiey, made!
this neighbourhood his retreat to!
pursue his botanical studies. Ed-|
ward III. frequently resided here,
at a mealed house, or King John's;

time of the Norman Conquest, this
place was no more than a poor

by sir John Morden, a Turkey |
merchant; for decayed Turkey mer-j

Danish array lay encamped, about
the year 1011, and many trenches
and other remains of the lines of
their camps are yet visible; though
it may be, they arc works of a later

touch at the top of the town, and
then proceed by Milton Church,
and come into the old road neai
Denton. About three miles oj the
old road will thus be rendered
completely useless ; and may be

little city has met with many mis-

sacked and plundered by the Danes,
and by the English kings and ba-
rons alternately. It was also, in
irs ancient time, frequently injured,
by fire. In 1281 its old wooden
bridge was carried off by the ice,
in a sudden thaw after a frosi.
which made the Medway passable
on foot. The Roman Watling-

Romans, and yielded it to the
Saxons. At the time of the Cc.n-

Before the reformation it had thir-

famous for the shrine of Thomas-a-
Becket, visited by pilgrims from
all parts of Europe, This turbu-
lent priest having been murdered
here in 11 70, v/ns afterwards made
a saint ; miracles were pretended
to be performed at his tomb. Lewis
the Seventh of France made a pil-
grimage to this tomb, and bestowed
on the shrine a jewel, esteemed the
richest in Christendom : bat Hen-
ry VIII. in 1538, not only pillaged
this rich shrine, but caused the
Saint to be cited in court, tried and
condemned as a traitor, ordering
his name to be struck out of the
calendar, his bones to be burnt, and
his ashes thrown into the air. In

place. The hospital is esteemed'
the finest structure of the kind in
the world ; and its noble hall is
finely painted by sir Jaraes Thorn-
hill. The chapel was destroyed,
n 1779, by fire, but has ben re-
built, and decorated in a style of
he most elegant simplicity, at the
charge, of 84,000L Here was
jnce -a royal palace, in which
queen Mary and queen Elizabeth
were born, and in which Edward
the Sixth died. 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. Here, during
three years, the Danish navy, Un-
der their king Sweyn, rode tri-

is established a royal academy,
under the Board of Ordnance, for
the instruction of boys in engineer-
ing and military affairs. The
largest ships ride here safely, even
at low wa-ter. 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

-ieveral important ti-ansactions took
place. . 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

ROTTINGDEAN is a fishing

singular variation of its wells,
which rise as the tide declines, and
are nearly empty at high water.
The researches of philosophy have
not as, yet been able to affix the
cause of this apparent contradic-

king of all England, and his son
Athelwolf, were present ; and in
the record of this event, the town
s called Kijnmgnstuny famosa ilia

over, mention several of the Saxon
monarchs who were crowned here,

500, to Edward the Martyr, in 975,
This town sent members to par-
lament in the reigns of the 2d and
3d Edward ; but it ceased to be a
borough, in consequence of a pe-
tition from the corporation, pray.
n^ to be released from the burthen.
The wooden bridge here, over the
Thames, is the most ancient on
that river, except London-bridge,
and the corporation have a revenue
for its support. Here is another
bridge of brick over a stream,
which comes from a spring in a
cellar four miles above the town
and forms such a brook, as to turn
two mills, not many yards from it
and from each other. A chapel by
the side of its church suddenly fell
in 1730, and buried the sexton,
Esther Hammerton, under its ruins,
where she remained .^even hours :
she survived this accident seven-
teen years. In this place is Can-

chalky soil, and is almost sur-
rounded by the Avon and its
contiib itory rivers, and is render-
ed particularly clean, by a small
itream flowing through every
street. ; it has a fine cathedral,
crowned by a spire, the luttiest in
the kingdom. It posscises a ma-
nufactory of flannels and liuseys,
of hardware and cutlery. Its
cathedra} was begun in 1219 by
bishop Poor, who sent for archi-
tects from abroad. It was conse-

Henry III. It i> esteemed one of
the most beautiful structuies in

grc.it celebrity in the time of the
Saxons and early Britons. It is
njw much celebrated as a borough,

is a city and bishop's see, seated
on the river Ex, whence it took its
name, and over which is a hand-
some stone bridge. With its sub-
urbs it contains, besides the ca-
thedral, fifteen parish churches and
four chapels. Ships of burthen forr
merly came up to this city j but the
navigation was almost destroyed by
one of the Courtenays, earls of De-
von j it is, however, the seat ofexr
rensive foreign and domestic com-
jmerce. It has particularly a share
the fisheries of Newfoundland and
Greenland. It is the Isa of Pto
lemy and Antoninus. The see
was transferred hither frqm Cre
diton by Edward the Cojifessor
It had six gates, besides turrets
many of wnich are destroyed. It
had formerly so many convents
that it was called Monkton, till
king Athelstan changed its name
to Exeter, about 940, at which
time he fortified the city. The
cathedral is a magnificent and cu-
rious fabric, which, though near
500 years in building, appears as
uniform as if it had had but one
architect. In 1763, in removing
the old pavement, was found the

RICHMOND is esteemed the
finest village in the British dorai-
lions, and was anciently called
ShenCi which, in Saxon, signifies
esplendent. From the singular
beauty of its situation it has been
termed the Frescaii of England.
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.
Part of this palace, with battle-
ments and a gateway, is still staud-
ing on Richmond-green. On the
scite of part of it are now seats of
the duke of Queensbury, Mrs.
Way, W. Keene esq. Higher «p

not, however, oniit to notice the
celebrated villa of Pope, now of
. In the life-
time of Pope the house was hum
ble and confined. The centre of
he present building only was the
residence of Pope. Towards the
margin of the river, propped with
uncommon care, still stands the
weepi: g-willow, planted by Pope
himself. In 178*J, the late em-
press of Russia, in veneration ot
the memory of Pope, caused some-
slips of this tree to be planted in
her own garden at Petersburgh.
The once celebrated grotto is no
longer remarkable, but for having
been erected under the immediate

of Gothic architecture in cathe-

wholly built at ditt'erent times, by
himself, whose fine taste is dis-
played in the elegant embellish-

was taken down in 1690 j and the
present structure was raised by

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

Philip of Spain landed here, when
he came to marry queen Mary.

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

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!

21| WELLS is a city, seated at the
foot of a hill, and has its name
from the wells and springs about
it ; and though it is but small, is
a bishop's see, together with Bath.
The cathedral is a stately struc-
ture. Wells is the centre of a
great manufactory of knit worsted
stockings. Its cathedral, at lirst a
monastery, was built by Ina, king
of the VVest Saxons, in 905. It is
a venerable and awful pile, truly
Gothic, but one of the richest
workmanship j the niches which
fill the entire front, towers, and
ides of the building, are occupied
by figures as large as life, repre
senting abbots, cardinals, nuns
kings, apostles, warriors,. &c. well
contrasted, and various in attitudes
;and designs, &c. In it are
many monuments dug 6\iX. of tht
ruins of Glastonbury abbey. A
plain white stone, under the cen-
tre of the nave, is said to cover
king Ina. The beautiful cloister
is built in a superior style. The
palace is fortified with walls and a
meat. The fine chapel in it was
built by bishop Fitz-Jocelyn. The
great hall is now used for a garden,
and the porch serves for a coach
house. Sivan.— Christopher.

106^* BATH. This city has been
famous, from the time of the Ro-

remarkable in England, and infe-
rior to few in Europe : they are not
jonly used as baths, but internally
as a medicine J and preat benefit
is derived from them in gouty, pa-
ralytic, bilious, and other cases.
The reputation of these waters is
so much increased, that Bath is
become tl»e principal resort, next
to the metropolis, for persons of
rank and fortune, and for the con-
stant residence yf opulent invalids,
as well as of numerous votaries of
dissipation In splendour and ele-
gance ot buildings it exceeds every
town in England, being constructed
of a white stone, of wldch the sur-
rounding soil is chiefly composed.
It is seated on the river Avon, in
a valley, and, fi^om the reflection
of the sun's rays from rite white
soil, is very hot in summer. The
principal seasons for the waters aie
spring and autumn. The poor, who
come here -to drink them, may be
received in a magnificent hospital.
It is supposed to be vevy ancient.
King Edgar was crowned here.
At the time of the Conquest^ ac-

first design, Edward the Fourth
not finding it completed, enlarged
it, and began the present building,
which was completed by Henry

always been greatly admired, par-
ticularly its stone roof. The whole

Its castle w^as built in the reign of
Henry VII. It is a large and no-
ble ruin, though more perfect than
ruins of this kind usually are.
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

* 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

Here was formerly an abbey. Mar-

wards Henry VIII. were so de
lighted with this place, that they
beautified the church and win-
dows, part of which remain, though
mutilated. On the summit of
these hills is a camp, with a treble
ditch, imagined to be Roman.
From these hills is a most rich and
beautiful view of the vale of

Here was formerly an abbey, no-

the tower, was built in the reign
of William the Conqueror. Its
outward appearance is very strik-
ing. 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.

Here was a seat of the carl of
Exeter, with a small park walled
round : the duke of Buckingham
and his family lived in it some
years after the Restoration; yet
Thomas Cecil, the first earl of
Exeter of thii family, who built it,
hought it so inferior to Burleigh,
that he pleasantly said, *' that he
built it only to retire to out of the
dust, )yhile his great house at Bur-
leigh was sweeping." The greatest
ipart of it is now pulled down, and
the remainder converted into a

found a Roman pavement, within
a kind of gallery, one hundred Ro-
man feet long in front, sided by
several rooms about thirty feet
square, in which were similar
pavements. There was a great
number of coins of the lower
empire discovered on the same
spot. There are foundations of
a stone wall. Higher up the hill
are more extensive foundations,

A wall has been built round the

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

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

One mile from it, near the seat of

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.

They arc said to be produced from

A more beautiful or more pic-
turesque town can scarcely be
found. The castle stands upon a
rock, two sides of which are washed
by a river. Its architecture and
position are truly grand, and denote
the spirit and judgment of its
founder, king Edward J. The hall
is the most remarkable apartment
now left ; it is 130 feet Lng, 32
broad, and about 22 in height.
Edward I. after his conquest of
the Welsh, with his queen, and
grezit part of the English nobility^
spent a Christmas at this castle.
The walls around the town, which
are built upon the solid rock, and
betwixt twelve and fifteen feet in
thickness, are nearly entire. There
are yet some poor remains of the
Cistertian abbey, founded in 1 185*
by Llewelyn ap Jorweth, prmce
of Wales. Plas. Mawr is, art an-

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.

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-

by the guides, who regularly pass
to and from LaiKaster, on Sunday,
Tuesday, and Friday, in every

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.

the village of Nibthwaite the lake
opens in full view. 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, —

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-

It lies in a meadow, and is sup-
posed to be the Dictis, where :

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-

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

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 :

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.

(The mile in Ireland is one niile and a half in England.)
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

three hundred and thirty north-
west of London. This city re-

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

It was bombarded by the English

masterpieces of painting, was taken,

visitors, for a finished piece. The
manufactory of plate-glass, also,
merits attention. The cathedral

about six- leagues by land ; horses
are always in waiting for that pur
pose. He then embarks ^on board

in waiting to carry passengers.

nesdays and Saturdays, as soon
after the arrival of the mail as po:
sible. On enteiing the territory
of the Batavian republic, the r. .ad
from Helvoetsluys is pleasantly dl-
versiaed with neat villages, and a
variety of country seats and villas,
n the Dutch taste. From Hel-
voetsluys to Briell, seven miles,
the usual conveyance is a waggon.
From Briell, at low water, the
schiusts go every Monday and Fri-
day to Rotterdam. With a fair

half-a-crown English.
ROTTERDAM, is a Ijrge, strong,
handsome, and rich city, with a
fine harbour, which renders it a
place of great trade. It is, next to!
Amsterdam, the most considerable
place in Holland, for size, beauty
of its buildings, trade, and riches.
There are so many fiae deep ca-
nals, that ships may unload at the
very doors of the magazines. The
town -house, the b.ink, and the ar-
senals, are very handsome. It is
more frequented by British mer-
chants than Amsterdam, because
the ice goes away sooner, and a
single tide, in two or three hours,
will carry a vessel into the open
Sea. Erasmus was born in this
city, and his statue in bronze
stands in an open place, at the
head of one of the canals ; and inl
a narrow street, leading from the
statue to the great church, is siill
shewn the house in which he was
born, with an inscription in fiont
of it to his bonour.
