Bridgewater

We arrived at Bridgewater at 2 o'clock, and found a Minehead coach waiting for passengers, by which we proceeded to Williton, where we arrived at 5 o'clock. The road is hilly, but we passed through some curious old villages, and observed several villas, one or two of which still retain clipped yew hedges, and other vestiges of the geometric style. The road, nevertheless, is conducted without either skill or taste, though it might be led on one uniform slope down the declivities and across the combes (valleys), so as to render it easy either for ascent or descent. We arrived at Nettlecombe Court at 6 o'clock.
