Ruskin said, 1875: |
|
| "[... whatever moorland hill, and sweet river, and English forest foliage can be seen
at their best is gathered there; and chiefly seen from the steep bank which falls
to the stream side from the upper part of the town itself. ...I do not know in all
my own country, still less in France or Italy, a place more naturally divine, or a
more priceless possession of true "Holy Land."]" |
