Duke’s house Lyes just at y^e foote of this steepe hill w^{ch} is like a precipice just at y^e Last, notwithstanding the Dukes house stands on a little riseing ground from y^e River Derwent w^{ch} runns all along y^e front of y^e house, and by a Little fall made in y^e water w^{ch} makes a pretty Murmurring noise. Before y^e gate there is a Large parke and Severall ffine Gardens one w^{th} out another w^{th} Gravell walkes and Squairs of Grass w^{th} stone statues in them, and in y^e middle of Each Garden is a Large ffountaine full of Images, sea gods and Dolphins and sea horses w^{ch} are full of pipes w^{ch} spout out water in the bason and spouts all about the Gardens. 3 gardens just round the house. Out of two of y^e Gardens you ascend by Severall Stepps into other Gardens w^{ch} some have Gravell walks and squares Like y^e other w^{th} Statues and Images in the bason. There is one bason in the Middle of one Garden thats very Large and by sluces besides the Images Severall pipes plays out y^e water—about 30 Large and small pipes altogether, some fflush it up that it ffrothes Like snow. There is one Garden full of stone and brass statues. So the Gardens Lyes one above another w^{ch} makes the prospect very fine. Above these gardens is an ascent of 5 or 6 stepps up to green walk and groves of firrs and a wilderness and Close arbours and shady walks. On Each End of one Walke stands two piramidies full of pipes spouting water that runns down one of them—runns on brass hollow work w^{ch} looks like rocks and hollow stones.
