CASTLE WARD. 20E 

 Called at Lord Bangor's at Caftle Ward, to 

 deliver a letter of recommendation, but un- 

 fortunately he was on a failing party to Eng- 

 land ; walked through the woods, &c. The 

 houfe was built by the prefent Lord. It is a 

 very hand ome edifice with two principal 

 fronts, but not of the fame architecture, for the 

 one is Gothic, and the other Grecian. From 

 the temple is a fine wooded fcene ; you look 

 down on a glen of wood, with a winding hill 

 quite covered with it, and which breaks the 

 view of a large bay: over it, appears the pe- 

 niniula of Strangford, which confifts of in- 

 clofures and wood. To the right, the bay is 

 bounded by a fine grove, which proie&s into 

 it. A (hip at anchor added much. The houfe 

 well fituatcd above feveral riling woods, the 

 whole fcene a fine one. I remarked in Lord 

 Bangor's domains, a fine field of turnips, but 

 uHhced. There were fome cabbages alio. 



I took the road to DownpatTick, through a 

 various country i Down Bay is on the left, 

 and exhibits an amazing variety of iflafids, 

 creeks, and bays, which appear among culti- 

 vated hills in a moft pi&urefque manner. 

 Here I faw fheep grazing in a ditch, confined 

 by a line fattened by two pins, and drove into 

 the ground, and palling through rings which 

 hung from a ftrap reund their necks, fo that 

 they could move only from one end to the 

 Other,
