The entrance to HAREWOOD PARK, from a large town of the same name, may serve as a magnificent specimen of this kind of importance; and although, in this instance, the character and peculiar circumstances of this splendid palace are properly supported, by the regularity and substantial manner in which the town is built and ornamented, yet, in more humble situations, the same attention to the repair and neatness of the adjoining cottages, would confer adequate propriety to this mode of entrance. Various specimens of this attention may be seen in the roads near the following places:-BABWORTH, BETCHWORTH, BUCKMINSTER, CATTON, LIVERMERE, PANSHANGER, PRESTWOOD, STOKE PARK, SUTTONS, SCARISBRIC, TENDRING, &c. If the entrance to a park be made from a town, or village, the gate may, with great propriety, be distinguished by an arch, as in that of HAREWOOD [fig. 85], where the approach from Weatherby, after passing along a straight road intended to be planted on each side, is terminated by a town regularly built of the most beautiful stone, at the end of which an arched gateway forms the entrance to one of the finest palaces in England [see fig. 86].
