. Case più famose della Gran Bretagna e le loro storie . Terrazza, e, in caso di tempo vinoso, trasporti in Italia. Nessun blast freddo tocca questo punto favorito, che per quasi un miglio è piantato con alberi sempreverdi e arbusti dalla corona della collina fino alla cima della scogliera. Qui la strada si snoda attraverso le pareti di alloro, laotino, e arbuto, il mare scintilla attraverso i rami di pino, ela luce del sole brilla su foglie di camelia lucidate e si brilla il fogliame tinto-duller del sughero, ilex, o Benthamia.Then, con una transizione improvvisa, passa in un boschetto di giganti, e, rientrando Th
