Ffrom thence I pass’d the Bridge aCross the River Ex to Chedly w^{ch} was 9 mile, mostly Lanes and a Continual going up hill and down, some of them pretty steep hills and all these Lesser hills as I have observ’d rises higher and higher till it advances you upon the high Ridge w^{ch} discovers to view the Great valleys below full of those Lesser hills and jnclosures w^{th} quicksett hedges and trees and Rich Land, but the Roads are not to be seen being all along in Lanes Cover’d over with y^e shelter of the hedges and trees. Then when I was on y^e top hill I went 3 or 4 miles on an open down w^{ch} brought me to the Edge of another such a Ridge, w^{ch} was by some steps to be descended as it was gained by y^e Lesser hills one below another till I Came to y^e bottom, and then I had about 2 or 3 mile along on a plaine or Common w^{ch} for the most part are a Little moorish by reason of their receiving the water that draines from the severall Great hills on Either side, and so then I am to rise up another such a Range of hills, and as neer as I Could Compute in my Rideing it was 6 or 7 miles between one high Ridge of hills to that over against it, whereas were there a Bridge over from one top to the other it Could not be 2 mile distant; but this does give them y^e advantage of severall acres of Land by reason of the many hills w^{ch} if drawn out on plaines as in some other parts would appear much vaster tracts of Land. On these hills as I said one Can discern Little besides inclosures hedges and trees, rarely Can see houses unless you are just descending to them, they allwayes are placed in holes as it were and you have a precipice to go down to Come at them. Y^e Lanes are full of stones and dirt for y^e most part because they are so Close the sun and wind Cannot Come at them, soe that in many places you travell on Causeys w^{ch} are uneven also for want of a Continued repaire.
