544 A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 



I fet out from Bewdley, with Mr. D^ , 



and Mr. P , on 'I uefday laft. In our way 



thence to Ludlovv, we few Sir R. B 's, in 



a charming fituation for the beauty of the 

 profpefrs, but too much expofed, and in a 

 dirty country. The houfe is fpoilcd by too 

 fine a (lair-cafe and hall, to which the other 

 rooms are by no means proportioned. Some of 

 them are wainfcotted and inlaid very finely. 

 There is a park, which would be more beauti- 

 ful, if the mafter of it had a little more tafte. 

 I hear his fon has a good one ; but the Baronet 

 himfelf hath not much more than his anceftor, 

 who was killed by E. Douglas, at the battle of 

 Shrewfbury. From this place we proceeded to 

 the Clee Hill, a mountain you have often feen 

 from my park ; it affords a lovely profpecl: on 

 every fide, but it is more difficult to pafs over 

 than any in Wales, that I have yet feen - y being 

 covered all over with loofe Clones, or rather 

 with pieces of rocks. However we parted it 

 without any hurt to ourfelves or horfes. 



LudJow is a fine, handfome-*mvn, and has 

 an old Caftle, now in a neglected and ruinous 

 fhite ; but which, by it's remains, appears to 

 have been once a very ftrong fortrefs, and an 

 habitation, very fui table to the power and 

 dignity of the Lord Prefidcnt of Wales, who 

 relided there. Not far from this town is Okely 



Park,
