The roads through Sir Walter Blackett's 

 efbte, which is of very great extent, are 

 excellent ; a piece of magnificence which 

 cannot be too much praifed. The country 

 is all newly inclofed, and Sir Walters hedges 

 remarkably good; he feems very attentive 

 to raife fine fences, for the white thorns are 

 very regular, luxuriant, and kept perfectly 

 clean from weeds. From Wallington to 

 Choleford Bridge land letts from ioj. to 20;. 

 an acre; farms from 100/. to 400/. a year. 



From the latter place to Glenwelt, the 

 country is all moor, but of an excellent 



* IVallington^ the feat of Sir Walter Blackett, is 

 a large handfome houfe, which appears, from the 

 difpoficion of the apartments, to be very conve- 

 nient. We were (hewn firft into fome common 

 keeping ones, a library, dining parlour, &c. in 

 which I remarked a piece of dead game, by Hu- 

 bener, that was well done •, and another of dancing 

 dogs, grotefque enough. In the dining-room, 

 of forty by twenty-one, the chimney-piece 

 of white marble is handfome ; the cieling of 

 ftucco work in fcrolls, very light and pretty. 

 Here i« alio another piece of dead game by Ilu- 

 bener, fome of it well executed ; and at the other 

 end of the room the portrait of a hat and ruffles. 

 Likewife a needlework fcreen of tent ftitch, very 

 elegant. 



The faloon, forty by twenty-two, and a good 

 height-, a mod elegantly proportioned room.
