Present an agreeable variety of pleasant drives and interesting walks,
unfolding from most points some changing feature of landscape scenery,
insulated, or grouped in picturesque masses, and interspersed with lofty
hills, which afford an imposing back-ground to the town, producing a
succession of rich and varied prospects calculated to interest the lover
of nature, while the artist, the antiquary, the botanist, or the
geologist, may find an ample field for the cultivation of their
respective pursuits.
The limited plan of the present work will only admit of a very brief
notice of some of those objects that might claim the attention of the
enquiring stranger, or present themselves in the course of a drive.
