Prior Park Landscape Garden.

"Those who have read "Tom Jones," will see that the novelist must have been familiar with the scenery and the sylvan glades of Prior Park, which are so singularly picturesque and charming.  "Scenes must be beautiful which daily viewed, Please daily, and whose novelty survives Long knowledge, and the scrutiny of years." The contemplation of these scenes by those who know anything of their past associations raises in the mind visions of the pomp and old-fashioned stateliness which characterized the life and habits of Allen and his friends at this, now, historic mansion of Prior Park." Extract from "Historic Houses of Bath, and their associations" (Open Library)
