Baydar Valley (Geographical feature)

Baydar Valley

The Baydar valley was one of the most aesthetically pleasing corners of the entire south. In the words of Lady Craven, it was an “enchanting and magnificent spot intended by nature for some industrious and happy nation to enjoy in peace.” Baydar won accolades from others as a “Tauric Elysium” blessed with abundant water and cultivated such that (in the words of Vladimir Bronevskii) “everywhere there are ploughed fields, bahçe and shady forests of oak and kizil; walnut-trees; everywhere springs and sources babble; everywhere nature is charming and everywhere there is abundance, richness, and a pleasantly varied landscape.”
