=Cuffnells=, 92, the pleasant residence of G. Rose, Esq. This
interesting spot, surrounded by the sylvan scenery of the New Forest,
possesses many peculiar advantages: boldly irregular in surface, and
strikingly embellished with stately forest trees, it presents many
beautiful landscapes. The house is situated on a rising ground embosomed
in wood, in the construction of which domestic comfort appears to have
been particularly studied, though exterior elegance has not been
altogether forgotten. The conservatory is filled with choice plants; and
the library is supposed to contain the finest collection of books in the
possession of any private gentleman in the kingdom. Here are also some
good portraits.

=Danson Park=, 2, the seat of John Johnson, Esq. The mansion is a
handsome fabric, standing on a commanding eminence, in a pleasant park.
The original designs were given by Sir Robert Taylor, but were somewhat
departed from in raising the superstructure: on the principal floor are
three large and elegant apartments. The grounds were laid out by the
celebrated Brown, who also formed a spacious sheet of water in the park,
which exhibits some flourishing plantations. The wings of the house were
subsequently pulled down, and a large pile of stabling and offices
erected.
Darnley, Earl of, 4, 14. (_see Bounds, and Cobham Hall_)
Day, S. Esq. 204.
=Deepdeen=, 63, the seat of Thomas Hope, Esq. formerly the residence of
the Hon. Charles Howard, who beautified and adorned the grounds with
great taste.

=Ditton Park=, 175, the seat of Lord Montague. The house is ancient and
venerable, surrounded by a moat of water: it stands pleasantly in a fine
well-wooded park, and appears to have been built in the reign of James
the First. Here is a gallery containing a collection of good pictures.
The apartments are elegant and well furnished.
=Donhead Hall=, 138.
