| The Upper Lake is 5 miles in length but of no great breadth. The banks have a wild picturesque appearance, but upon the whole it is inferior to the others. At the end is a fall of water that is seen tumbling through the trees from a great hight, it afterwards forms a pretty winding stream and then joins the lake. We dined at [a] small neat little cabbin calld the Slatehouse. <br>There is another Lake in a recess between them, calld the middle Lake. Upon a peninsula that equally commands them both stand Mucross gardens, belonging to M<sup>r</sup> Herbert, a spot where nature has been most lavish of its beauties. They are not thrown away upon the proprietor of this spot – He enjoys them & know how to improve them. – A beautiful ride through the park that is nearly surrounded by the Lower and middle lake is lately made. – Several charming views open upon you at every 20 yards, on both sides. A bridge is soon to join this park to a small island adjacent to it that will add another ornament to those with which this spot already abounds. <br>Near a natural terrace on the lower lake belonging to M<sup>r</sup> Herbert the different beauties of the lake are seen to the utmost advantage. The other points of view are <br>1. Mangerton hill <br>2. Agadhoe Church <br>3. L<sup>d</sup> Kenmares park.<br>[Unpaginated text.] |
