But his Royal Highness’s attention is not confined to the park alone; but in like manner extends to the adjoining forest, which is of great extent, and was appropriated to hunting and the residence of the royal game by William the Conqueror, who established many laws and regulations for the preservation of the deer, that are still observed. In this extensive tract of land are several pleasant towns and villages, of which Wokingham, situated near the center of the forest, is the principal, and though the soil is generally barren and uncultivated, yet it is finely diversified with hills and vales, woods and lawns, and interspersed with pleasant villas. These rural scenes are finely painted by Mr. Pope, who resided here when he wrote his Windsor forest, and was himself a native of the place, being born at Binfield. _Here waving groves and chequer’d scenes display,_ _And part admit, and part exclude the day;_ _There, interspers’d in lawns and op’ning glades,_ _There trees arise, that shun each others shades._ _Here in full light the russet plains extend;_ _There wrapt in clouds the blueish hills ascend;_ _Ev’n the wild heath displays her purple dyes,_ _And ’midst the desart, fruitful fields arise,_ _That crown’d with tufted trees and springing corn,_ _Like verdant isles the sable waste adorn._ Among the many fine villas which are in this forest we shall only here mention Cranborne lodge, which now belongs to the Duke of Cumberland, as keeper of the forest. It is large and well built, and is happily situated, it commanding an extensive prospect over a fine plain, and a rich country, that forms a most beautiful landscape. WINDSOR _court_, 1.
