"I
shall make but one step from thi» to Rochefort, ten miles farther
on. The country continues the same, and the only thing remarkable is
the magnificent construction of the road, which is borne across deep
valleys, and cut through hills, in a manner more resembling the great
works upon a principal railway line, than an untravelled road in a
remote district. Rochefort gets its name from a castle on a height, the
ruins of which are still considerable, and worth a visit; but its chief
attraction is its containing the only decent inn within walking
distance of the great caverns of Han"
