The house at Swinton, which boasts a fine collection of pictures, both by ancient and modern masters an excellent assortment of ores, minerals, &c. properly classified, has attached to it a beautiful park and pleasure grounds, inferior to none in this part of the country.

With much trouble and expence the worthy proprietor has brought from a distance of several miles, a small stream through his gardens and park, which in some places beaks into very fine lakes; in others, contracts into the size of a little rill, which winds through the woods in a most pleasing manner; here falling into cascades, it enlivens the whole scene; then withdraws from the eye, and hides itself in the dark bosom of tufted groves. The rosy bower, and regular garden adjoining the house, will afford to many visitors the greatest treat, but to those who are fond of the picturesque and romantic Quarry Gill, will be found to possess the most striking beauties, particularly when it is full of water. These grounds are open for public accommodation. Mr Danby has recently made considerable additions to his collection of paintings. The house is undergoing some material alterations, and a gallery is to be erected purposely for the pictures."
