62 WESTON MILL. 



pause, and would unhesitatingly recommend a site 

 whence a trysting place would undoubtedly prove a 

 source of additional gratification; the writer is a 

 member of a temperance society, and therefore points 

 out a snug little domicile, on the immediate right, 

 after the bridge has been crossed ; here, as the 

 writer has more than once proved, " a nice drop of 

 tea," and, thanks to our favored county, a basin of 

 cream, may at any time be procured, for a trifling 

 sum, to assist in wiling away any thing but tedious 

 hours. 



The distance of Weston Mill from Plymouth is 

 about 2 miles and a half. 



Tea finished, or, perhaps, instead, the junket, the 

 pedestrian is invited to descend to the margin of the 

 creek, above the stone arch before mentioned ; here, 

 on a primitive bridge, consisting of a single stone 

 thrown across it, the other bank may be gained ; 

 then, having walked about half way up the hill 

 side, a most pleasant path is discovered, oversha- 

 dowed by trees, running towards the east, for nearly 

 a quarter of a mile, this walk belongs to the Ham 

 Estate. On emerging from this cool and refreshing 

 grove, the road must be followed, Pennycross Chapel 

 will be seen on the left, but, as that will be the 

 subject of another excursion, it will, in the present 

 case be passed at the distance of a quarter of a 

 mile. 



On reaching the road which leads immediately to 

 it, a gateway, opening into a path field, may be 

 entered ; from this spot a most extensive panorama 

 is descried, which may fairly be said to be unsur- 

 passed by any in the neighbourhood ; embracing 

 the hills of Dartmoor in the north, and the broad 

 expanse of the English Channel in the south, skirted 

 by the towns of Plymouth, Devonport, and Stone- 

 house : at the termina ion of this field another road 

 will be crossed, and a field or two more will again 

 place the traveller on the Devonport and Tavistock 

 road, at a considerable distance to the east of Mile
