THE WOODCHESTER PARK ESTATE IN GLOU-
CESTERSHIRE, INFINITELY EXCEEDING IN
VALUE, IN IMPORTANCE, AND IN INFLUENCE,
ANY OTHER IN THE MARKET, THE RENTAL
AND VALUE A PPROCIIES £5,300 A-YEAR.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the satisfaction to make
known that he has been favoured by the instructions of
THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF DUCIE,
to sell by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart,
in London, on TUESRAY, the 6th of June, at Twelve
o'clock, in One Lot,

THE WOODCHESTER ESTATE,
which has acquired a renown that will relieve the Individual
who has the conduct of this Sale, from entering into a very
lengthened detail ; in fact, he may be permitted, from this
circumstance, to condense the infinite variety of never-ending
beauties. and advantages, which are every where contending
for the rivalry, into a more limited space ; premising, ere he
encounters the Herculean task, that the Public must be con-
tent with an imperfect, although it shall be a faithful narra-
tive of Woodchester.

THIS MAGNIFICENT PROPERTY
AND ITS PRINCELY DEMESNE

is situate iu the rich vale of Gloucester, approaching to
Stroud.

The MANSION is HAPPILY PLACED in the CENTRE
of a PARK, LUXURIANT BEYOND DESCRIPTION,
NOT YIELDING IN ITS NATURAL BEAUTY
TO ANYTHING CONTEM PORANEOUS THROUGH-

OUT ENGLAND
The Estate includes nearly

FOUR THOUSAND ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND,
divided into Superior Farms,
FOUR MILES IN LENGTH AND FIVE IN
BREADTH,
with Feral-houses of a superior character, and a tenantry
that is perfectly unexceptionable. Probably one remark in
corroboration of the last sentence will be satisfactory. The
arrears on the Lady-day rents are not quite £lOO. The
rental and value approaches FIVE THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR. The next point for
attention is

WOODCHESTER MANSION,

an abode which originally cost above
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS

It is" planned to accommodate the first Noblemen in the
land ; seventy guests have found repose and comfort here on
the one night. Windows of Painted Glass, give to it a dim, reli-
gions light, in fact, everything is in perfect keeping within.
As taste will sometimes differ, Mr. Robins would observe,
that the outward form is not capable of improvement ; and
in the spirit of candour that influences all his announce-
ments,-
.he would add, that a Thousand Pounds mould benefit
the exterior, by giving to it a more imposing appearance, and
which cannot be denied to an abode that is seated in

A PARK, WHICH FOR ITS VARIETY AN CaIAUTY,
IS NOT TO BE SURPASSED THROUGHOUT
THE GLOBE,
. . .

wherein the
WOODLAND SCENERY AND ORNAMENTAL
WATERS
are ever and anon contending for the supremacy.
" Here swell the vales, the woods and prospects rise."
The Offices, within and without, are quite commensurate.
There is standing for Eight Carriages, Eighteen Stalls, be-
sides loose boxes ; and this is independent of
THE HUNTING ESTABLISHMENT,
which is perfect.
THE CHURCH PREFERMENT
INCLUDES TWO VALUABLE ADVOWSONS,
with Woodchester and Frocester, £6OO a year, and Two su-
perior Parsonage Houses. Connected with it is
THE ENTIRE VI LLAGE of NYMPHFIELD, WHERE-
IN ARE SIXTY-SIX HOUSES, AND THE
DUCIE ARMS, WITH POLITICAL INFLUENCE
EXTENDING OVER TWELVE HUNDRED
HONEST YEOMEN.
The Kitchen Gardens occupy a space of six acres, inclosed
by walls 12 feet in height, clothed with highly-flavoured
fruit, and ornamented by
TEN HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES,
in which is included two for Peaches and eight Vineries.
Every thing is so bountiful, that Covent-garden Market
would be accounted a work of supererogation.
THE SPLENDID. GROUNDS AND MAGNIFICENT
SCENERY
will next occupy a place in this moderated statement, and
the writer feels that, having in his own person enjoyed the
unspeakable delight to witness this Fairy scene
" For the modest Muses made,"
and encountering in constant succession the never-ending
breaks and peeps through the woods, he might almost be ex-
cused if he imbued the landscape with two much colour ;
but even this excusable fault he will avoid. To begin—the
Grounds are laid out in that perfect taste which knows how
to wed nature to art, without sacrificing her simplicity to the
alliance, and occupied a space extending over a century, be-
fore they arrived at perfection. There are
MILES OF ROMANTIC WALKS AND DRIVES
WITHIN THIS INCOMPARABLE SPOT,
and the cleverness by which the mountain tops are approach-
ed, by the walks stealing gently and gradually through this
beauteous scene, the fearful acclivity is overcome. It must
be seen to be well appreciated ; and when the task is accom-
plished the views which present themselves are a reward
greatly exceeding the fatigue by which it has been accom-
plished, and at the summit it would also appear that the
clouds were in connection with this fruitful demesne. Art is
out of place here, quite an alien to that which nature has
vouchsafed.
TO SEE AND TO FEEL THIS IN ALL ITS FORCE.
'THE SPECTATOR
MUST BE ALONE WITH NATURE.
Embosomed in these splendid Woods is seen
THE ANCIENT CASTLE
ERECTED AT THE SUGGESTION OF GEORGE 11.
The Vale of Gloucester has long been famed for its varied
beauties—Malvern, Durs:ey, and Riley, with its romantic
encampment, are in the distance,
THE RIVER SEVERN IN ITS IRREGULAR
COURSE PASSING THROUGH THE VALLEY,
forming a conspicuous feature, progressing in silent stillnes,
except where
" Bubbling runnels join the sound,"
or where the wind makes
" Music in the sighing of the reeds,"
varying and improving the Landscape until it will be felt to
eggar all description.
THE TERRACE WALKS OF GREAT EXTENT
and importance, are well imagined to improve the various
Claude like pictures which nature in its bounty has vouch-
safed to Woodchester. A Temple adorns a different spot,
which overlooks THE ITALIAN GARDENS AND
FOUNTAINS PLAYING with the ornamental water in
the fore-ground ; it would really bring to mind what may be
likened to Elysium, but Mr. Robins feels he is exceeding the
limit he had prescribed to himself, and will therefore take a
very summary view of the rest.
The Rental is, at the express desire of the Noble Earl,
20 per cent. less than its neighbours. The Park is full of
deer

THE MANORS AND MANORIAL RIGHTS
give a consequence that will not be overlooked, besides the
greater advantage of being always well supplied with game.
The fishing is also excellent, and the bunting and field sports
of first-rate order; in fact, the great difficulty would arise in
pointing out an advantage that is not conspicuous here, and,
be it remembered, it is
WITHIN THREE HOURS AND A HALF RIDE OF

LONDON,
--
a short hour of Cheltenham; and a railway is in progress
that will almost skirt the village ; in conclusion, it may be
safely affirmed, that if hospitality be one of the characteris-
tics of Woodehester,
