 this district will find first-rate accommodation at the Wel- 

 lington Arms hotel, near the entrance of the Duke of 

 Wellington's park, at Strathfield-Saye, through which the 

 Lodden runs, and is here formed into a large lake, having a 

 a fine tumbling bay or waterfall, in which Perch have been 

 taken of six pounds weight. An order for fishing this part 

 of the Lodden is only to be had from the Duke, who very 

 rarely grants one ; and, therefore, the angler who is so fortu- 

 nate as to obtain an order, must make much of it. From 

 here the river runs through Berkshire, and joins the Thames 

 below Sonning. Some excellent fishing is to be had at 

 Lodden Bridge. .
