A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES, 



looks over that to a mod delightful country} 

 but, if the park was extended a little farther, 

 it would take in a hill, with a view of a valley, 

 moft beautifully wooded; and the river Dee 

 winding in fo romantic and charming a man- 

 ner, that I think it exceeds that of Ffeftiniog, 

 or any confined profpeft J ever beheld. Among 

 other obje&s that embellifh the fcene, there is 

 a fine bridge of ftone. Tell Mrs. G - S - , 

 I would have her leave Clermont, and the 

 banks of the Thames, and build a houfe in this 

 ]ovely fpot. I will vifit her every year; fhe 

 will not be at any expence in making a garden, 

 for nature hath made one to her hands, infi- 

 nitely better than that of S- - . Upon one 

 of the neighbouring hills, which hath the fame 

 profpect as this, one Mr. Yorke has a feat, 

 which I only faw at a diftance; and which, I 

 am told by a lady at Shrewfbury, of good tafte, 

 excels any in Wales, for natural beauty. 



Indeed the country, for five or fix miles, is of 

 another temper, exceedingly fertile, and very 

 romantic. While I was looking at it, I aiked 

 Mr. P ; , " Whether he thought it poffible 

 " for the eyes to behold a more pleafing fight ? M 

 He faid, " Yes; the fight of a woman one 

 " loves." My anfwer was, " When I was in 

 < love, I thought fo."
