WE came off from Burghclere yesterday after-noon, crossing Lord
Caernarvon's park, going out of it on the west side of Beacon
Hill, and sloping away to our right over the downs towards
WOODCOTE. The afternoon was singularly beautiful. The downs
(even the poorest of them) are perfectly green; the sheep on the
downs look, this year, like fatting sheep; we came through a fine
flock of ewes, and, looking round us, we saw, all at once, seven
flocks, on different parts of the downs, each flock, on an
average, containing at least 500 sheep. next |
