This town flands on an eafy afcent on the bank of the Wye, and prefents itfelf in a happy point of view above the bridge, the northern bank of the river rifes to a confiderable height, and is richly cloathed with (h rubbery. In the annexed view we have aimed at a repre- fentation of this beautiful and romantic fcene. The river here acquires a confider- able width, and though in a dry feafon, has a proportionable depth of water. In this vicinity there was formerly a caftle, of which very little ...remains. This place gave birth, and name to the famous Thomas Bradwardin, Archbifliop of Canterbury, who, ( 46 ) who, from his variety of knowledge and proficiency in the abftrufe branches of learn- ing, obtained his title of Doctor Profundus. Below this village we glided down this deep and majeftic flream, amidfl a rich and fertile country, till we reached Mocca's Court, the feat of Sir George Cornwall, Bart. It is plea- fantly fituated on an eminence, on the fou- thern bank of the Wye, within a fpacious park, and commands a full and extenfive view of the beautiful meanderings of the river.
