This country is in general beautiful, but 

 particularly fo about the {freights that lead 

 into Strangford Loch. From Mr. Savage's 

 door the view has great variety. To the left 

 are tracts of hilly grounds, between which the 

 fea appears, and the vaft chain of mountains 

 in the Ifle of Man ditlinctly feen. In front 

 the hills rife in a beautiful outline, and a 

 round hill projects like a promontory into 

 the {freights, and under it the town amidft 

 groups of trees; the fcene is chearful of it- 

 felf, but rendered doubly fo by the lhips and 

 herring-boats failing in and out. To the right 

 the view is crowned by the mountains of 

 Mourne, which, whenever feen, are of a cha- 

 racter peculiarly bold, and even terrific. I he 

 fhores of the Loch behind Mr. Savage's are 

 bold ground, abounding with numerous plea- 

 fing landfcapes ; the oppofite coaft, confifting 

 of the woods and improvements of Caftle- 

 Ward, is a fine fcenery.
