AND THIRTY ACRES

a short half mile beyond the cottage. It was intended to be
a residence of some pretensions, one that the magnificent
scenery, by which it is surrounded, seems to have especially
required. Much has been done towards its accomplishment;
still the opportunity is left for unexceptionable taste to direct
its completion. The offices are very sufficient, enclosed in a
court-yard, and ornamented by a building in the modern
Gothic style.

A BEAUTIFUL RIVER ENTWINES ITSELF
AROUND,
and forms a little boundary. There is altogether a domain
extending to
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ACRES OF 'VERY

GOOD LAND, •
of which about sixty acres are around it : the little farm of
seventy acres is half a mile off. The extent of the two, it
will be seen, is sufficient to occupy a little leisure, and banish
ennui from this sequestered spot. The forest immediately in
front is FULL OF RED DEER ;
the partridge and woodcock shooting very good, and the fish-
ing perpetual, and not interrupted.—Full particulars of this
property, with drawings of each (at 6d. only), may be had at
the inns and libraries at Lynton, and the hotels at Barn-
staple ; the libraries throughout the clustre of watering places
in South Devon; the New London Hotel, Exeter; of Mr.
Pitman, solicitor, Barnstaple ; and at Mr. GEORGE ROBINS's
offices, London.

and most especially adapted it the views of the rich
merchant of this or any vicini . There is so much to ad-
mire, with the capability still to improve, that the fair lady
of the proprietor may oppose her present unequivocal taste
to that of bygone days. This observation applies
ONLY TO THE INTERIOR OF THE CONVENIENT

EDIFICE,
which will he noticed in due time ; for, as it regards the
grounds that encompass it, it would approach sacrilege to
attempt to remodel or improve them.
THE CASTLE HEAD ESTATE
takes its name from
THE FAR-FAMED MOUNT
_ _

which rises majestically towards the clouds, to a fearful
height. In the olden times tradition gives account of its
being

ONE OF THE ANCIENT ROMAN STATIONS

It was left to Mr. Wilkinson, the celebrated and very rich
iron master to incline to an expenditure of near £25,000, and
the bridge and embankment cost upwards of £20,000 more
of his immense wealth in creating that which has
NO PARALLEL THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
Itt renown is imperishable, and this observation is made ad-
visedly ; but the reader is invited to seek ocular demonstra-
tion, for it is quite impossible to find language that will
convey in adequate terms the . surpassing delight that the
ascent from the verdant lawns to the mountain top will in-
spire the beholder. It would be the work of supererogation
to attempt to draw upon Fancy's sketch; language is too
feeble; the creation of the mountain belongs to Nature, and
in its completion is the only solitary instance within the
writer's recollection where nature has reluctantly succumbed
to art ; but the fact is here
is proclaimed, and the triumph is
perfect; to describe it in suitable language will not be at-
tempted. The reader earnestly invited to resort and pay
it an immediate visit, with an assurance that the undescri-
bable landscape which is in store will leave an impression
that no time can obliterate.

THE UMBRAGEOUS WALKS
ARE FIVE MILES IN EXTENT,
amid the woods and plantations in the ascent to the moun-
tain top ; in ascending there is ever and anon breaks and
peeps to vary and diversify the scene until at length, on the
summit, _

THE ELYSIUM OF THIS WORLD
becomes visible on the instant. Mr. Robins would not covet
the feelings of any human being who could view
THIS SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT
without duly appreciating the combined effort of an exceed-
ingly long purse, with an infinity of good taste to put it in
motion. It would be idle to point out the immensity of the
views, or the diversity of the scene ; there is a never-ending
variety, with an extent almost interminable.
THE SEA—THE RAPID RIVER—THE RICH VALE,
AND THE MOUNTAIN TOPS,
seem all contending for the ascendancy. It must be remarked
that on the extreme height of this renowned mount are two
gardens of considerable extent, adorned by powering shrubs
and American plants, transcendantly beautiful, feathering to
the ground in the greatest profusion; indeed the creation of
this luxuriant mount from the barren rock, shows how little
of impossibility there exists in this world, if
THE MARCH OF THE MIND IS WELL APPLIED.
Its extent is 500 feet from the level of the sea beneath it. It
is here that

THE LOVER'S LEAP MAY BE PERPETRATED
with success. The spot is prepared, hut the splendid scenery
that on the instant becomes visible' has interposed its magic
spell, and to the present period left no historical record
wherewith to illumine the reader of so fearful an attempt. It
is now time to return to the edifice, of which it has been re-
marked that there is great room of an outlay in ornamental
decoration. The house has abundant accommodations for a
family of some pretensions. It is seed from the high road,
nestling amid the luxurious plantations, with a terrace walk
and long avenue approach, and the splendid river to form its
boundary. The offices are fully sufficient ; the kitchen gar-
dens (not alluding to those on the ascent towards the clouds)
are prolific and extensive. There are
HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES,
150 feet in length, and the present show of grapes gives ample
proof of the quality of the vineyard. The climate is here so
congenial, that the heaviest fall of snow in winter does not
lie on the ground more than three or four days, when at a
short distance it remains for weeks. There is capital fishing
in the River Winster, which is particularly noted for its trout,
and a pack of fox hounds within five miles. It may be essen-
tial, by way of concluding, to allude to the more profitable
portion of the property. There is.
