Bath, the most romantic and picturesque part of Derbyshire,
containing about 3.3 Acres, covered with the finest Larch and
other Timbei, of from 30 to 60 years' growth. Upon the
Heights are Two delightful Residences, having a southern
aspect, and completely sheltered from the north and east.
The principal Residence is called the LOWER TOWER, built
in the Castellated Style, which harmonizes so well with the
surrounding Scenery, and was for ,some time the favourite
retreat of the celebrated Author of " England and the Eng-
lish," part of which work was written within its walls. De-
tached are excellent Stables, Coach-house, Garden, and Or-
chard. The other, called the UPPER TOWER, built in the
same style, has every convenience suitable for a small family.
There are also Two COTTAGES upon the Heights, which at
all times meet with respectable Tenants.
To attempt any description of this far-fame-1 spot ‘could be
to trench upon the province of the Tourist; the Grounds are
laid out in the most diversified manner, with broad Gravel
Walks, and commanding, from every point, the most delight.
ful Views of the lovely Vale of Matlock. The RUTLAND
CAVERN, one of the largest in the Kingdom, is situate in the
midst of these Grounds, and Tourists visiting Derbyshire
rarely omit seeing this WONDER OF THE PEAK.

its HOT BATHS, and within this Estate is a Spring, the tem-
perature of which at its source has been proved to be equal to
the Buxton Water. This Spring, by ajudicious and moder.
ate expenditure of capital, would prove of great advantage to

Tower and Cavern upon Lease for a term of seven or fourteen
years, if desired.
