Belt planting at Woburn

A belt should consist of wood, through which a road may wind to various points of view [fig. 232: a, a, views into the park; b, a view out of the park to the open country]; or scenery may be shewn under various circumstances of foreground; but a drive should only be among the trees, and under the shade of their branches; especially where a few large old trees may help to vary the sameness of a plantation uniformly consisting of young saplings.
