The grounds of this "famous Villa" built by Lord Burlington in the early eighteenth century are full of interest, is still a great tourist draw, but nothing in them excited Macgregor more tham the conservatory, with its ranked camellias "laden with blossoms — rose, scarlet and white — the effect of the long perspective of the conservatory, studied from either extremity, is really wonderful" (182).
