The site is extremely beautiful, in a large park, picturesquely
diversified, being intersected by a succession of small lakes falling
into each other, which, as a very rare occurrence, are noticed in
Doomsday book for the produce of fish, which is there valued. Carp is
the chief stock, with tench and perch of extraordinary size. In 1789,
out of one pond of 50 acres, were taken 2,824 fish of different kinds.
Fronting the south aspect, the bold headlands, which divide the county,
rise majestically. Duncton Hill and Lavington Down are immediately
opposite, and are broken into knolls richly invested in groves of low
wood. These acclivities are infinitely various and beautiful, and the
whole scene is rendered interesting by the combination of the softest
verdure, with broken cliffs, and an endless terrace of down, in the
distance.
