Manuscript travel diary kept by an unidentified woman travelling with her husband George, departing from London. The diarist makes daily entries, writing in black ink in a neat hand. The text is accompanied by nine simple drawings, in graphite and gray wash, tipped in. The drawing subjects include a lock on the Weir, Tintern, Rheidol Falls, Aberystwyth, Barmouth, and Windermere.

Highlights of the tour include: George's descent down multiple mines; a meeting with Mary Robinson (Maid of Buttermere); a ride to the summit of Skiddaw, in the Lake District; numerous encounters with post boys and post coaches; Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace; Newcastle ("a rather black looking town from the number of coals in its neighborhood"); the weaving of Damask linen at Bedale; the ruins of Fountains Abbey; Harrogate; the dropping well at Knaresborough (Mother Shipton's Cave); and the racecourse at Doncaster.
