Between all from the staires a broad passage Leads to a Balcony over the Entrance w^{ch} Look’d very pleasantly over the parke but in the Cupulo on y^e Leads I Could see a vast way, at Least 20 mile round; for this house stands very high to y^e Land side Eastward, and the south was the Great Ocean w^{ch} runns into Falmouth thats y^e best harbour for shipps in that road. 6 mile from this place westward was to Truro and the north to the hills full of Copper mines. Here I was very Civily Entertained: from thence I returned back Intending not to goe to y^e Lands End w^{ch} was 30 miles farther for feare of y^e raines that fell in the night w^{ch} made me doubt what travelling I should have; soe to S^t Culumb I went, a pretty Long 12 mile. Here I met with many Rowes of Elm trees w^{ch} I have not found in any Country Except Wiltshire; these were mostly soe, tho’ there were alsoe ashes and oakes. Y^e hedges were Hazelthorne and Holly but to see soe many good rowes of trees on y^e road is surprising and Looks Like the Entrance to some Gentlemans house, and I cannot tell but some of them were soe tho’ a mile off from y^e house. The next day finding it faire weather on y^e Change of y^e moone, I alter’d my Resolution and soe went for y^e Lands End by Redruth 18 miles, mostly over heath and Downs w^{ch} was very bleake and full of mines. Here I Came by the Copper mines w^{ch} have the same order in the digging and draining, tho’ here it seemes Dryer and I believe not quite soe annoy’d w^{th} water. The ore is something as the tinn only this Looks blackish, or rather a purple Colour, and y^e glistering part is yellow as y^e other was white. They do not melt it here but ship it off to Bristol by y^e North Sea w^{ch} I Rode in sight of, and is not above 2 or 3 Mile from hence, which supplyes them with Coales for their fewell at Easyer rates than the other side Plymouth and the South Sea, because since y^e warre they Could not Double y^e poynt at y^e Lands End, being so neer Ffrance y^e pirats or Privateers met them. Indeed at S^t Jves they do melt a Little but nothing that is Considerable—that is 10 mile from Redruth w^{ch} is a Little market town. Here they Carry all their things on horses backs soe that of a market day w^{ch} was Fryday you see a great number of horses Little of size w^{ch} they Call Cornish Canelys. They are well made and strong and will trip along as Light on the stony road without injury to themselves, where as my horses went so heavy that they wore their shoes immediately thinn and off, but here I met with a very good smith that shooed y^e horses as well as they do in London, and that is not Common in the Country, but here I found it soe, and at a place in Westmoreland by y^e ffells a smith made good shoes and set them on very well. From Redruth I went to Pensands 15 mile and passed by y^e ruines of Great ffortification or Castle on a high hill about 3 mile from Redruth and passed to Hailes and soe went by y^e sea
