DUNKETTLE. 45 



rifing from the vale to the horizon, the fcenery 

 lequeftered, but pleafing; the oak wood which 

 hangs on the deer-park hill, an addition. Down, 

 to the brow of the hill, where it hangs over the 

 river, a picturefque interefting fpot. The in- 

 cloiures on the oppofite bank hang beautifully 

 to the eye, and the wooded glen winds up the 

 hill. Returning to the houfe I was conducted 

 to the hill, where the grounds flope off to the 

 river of Corke, which opens to view in noble 

 reaches of a magnitude that fills the eye and the 

 imagination : a whole country of a character 

 truly magnificent, and behind the winding vale 

 which leads between a feries of hills to Glan- 

 mire.
