CAYNHAM COURT,

three miles distant from Ludlow. This elegant mansion is the residence of Mrs. Calcott. It is surrounded by plantations, shrubberies and walks, and situated in a very pleasant district. On Caynham Camp, is the site of an ancient Castle, noticed by Leland, who says of it, "Kainsham, or Kensham Castle, clene down, stood within two miles of Ludloe, on a hill top." "It belonged, "says Camden," to the Mortimers, and the Church to Wigmore Abbey." Two fields on the east side are yet called the Castle fields; and immediately below is another in which a deep and wide entrenchment occupies the principal part. Tradition says that this latter was a depository for horses and military stores during the siege of Ludlow Castle, by Cromwell. On the top of the hill, is a bank covered with trees and underwood, and encircling an open space, consisting of six or seven acres. Around this there is a walk, with benches, opposite to which are openings, commanding most delightful prospects, not only of the local beauties of the neighbourhood of Ludlow, but of Malvern Hill, the Black Mountains in Brecknockshire, and other distant objects.

One mile from Caynham, is, the

SHEET,

a modern and pleasant edifice raised from the

ruins of an old Farm House, the property of W. Adams, Esq. A little to the south-west, is STEVENTON COTTAGE,

placed on the brow of an eminence, overhanging the river Teme, and commanding an extensive prospect over part of Herefordshire to the left, and to the right overlooking the town of Ludlow. This romantic secluded spot is part of the Steventon demesne, belonging to E. L. Charlton, Esq. and has for many years been occupied by Mr. E. Prodgers.

NEW BATH, AT SALTMORE.

The want of convenience for bathing, at Saltmore, has long been lamented; because, judging from analogy, no one can doubt that it must prove equally as powerful as sea-water, and applicable to the same useful purposes. On this account, we anticipate the satisfaction individuals and the public will feel, when informed that proper accommodations are now completed at Saltmore Cottage, for cold or warm bathing. In cutaneous affections, scrophula, chronic rheumatism, paralysis, and above all in disorders incident to young females, the greatest advantages may reasonably be expected from this bath in a warm or tepid state; and for all purposes in which the cold immersion may safely be used, it deserves preference.
