Marske Hall and Avenue, Swaledale

Slide 4: Facing it is a fine lime tree avenue, a portion of which we shew. The situation of Marske is strikingly picturesque at any season, but especially so when the glorious summer sunshine floods the verdant slopes, towering scars, and overhanging woods, which hem in the village on all sides. Far removed from the smoke and turmoil of towns, it is secluded, but not dreary, and a feeling of pleasurable solitude impresses itself on the visitor, who walks up this winsome valley on a sunny day.
