Saltash and its neighbourhood have already received due
notice at our hands in the preceding pages. We shall there¬
fore suppose the tourist to have accomplished the first five miles
of his journey, through a series of charming landscapes lit up
by the silver-winding Tamar, and to have reached the point
where a bye-road turns off to Pentillie Castle (A. Coryton,
Esq.), a handsome modem mansion, designed by Wilkins, the
architect of the National Gallery. Wood, hill, and river combine.
