On entering the park we firstfind ourselves in a winding road between an avenue of lofty the park opens, presenting from time to time, as we proceed,lesser avenues of trees, or green alleys, as we may call them; atthe end of one of which, filling up its entire breadth, appears Burgh-ley House, with its towers and cupolas, and picturesque pillar-likechimneys, and its tall chapel spire.
