Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Descriptive List of the Deer-Parks and Paddocks of England
Chillingham contains great breadths of meadow-land, and fir-clad uplands which culminate in hills of considerable height, whilst Lyme not only includes kindred beauties, but runs into purple-clad moorlands. Others, like Bridge in Sussex, are celebrated for their beauty and for the extent of the bracken. Castle Combe in Wiltshire is well known for its great beauty of hill and vale. Exton in Rutlandshire is famed for the number of ancient hawthorns Which abound, and for the quaintness of its rustic park fence. Spetchley in Worcestershire has also a grand old oak fence fastened with oaken pegs, and is extremely picturesque.
These may be taken as typical examples, but it would not be too much to say that there is no park in England, of whatever size, but which at one season or another has some special and attractive beauty of its own.
