Rosthwaite
|
|
|
Rossthwaite.- Near this village is the Chapel of
Ease, standing at the point whence the three vales or grains
of this extensive valley diverge. Whilst here, the tourist
should extend his ramble into Stonethwaite, and return.
Refreshment may be had here; and then let the visitor cross
the river behind the inn, and strike right up the fell,
immediately in front. In this ascent the most splendid and
magnificent views open out, which bid defiance to the pen.
|
Watendlath
|
|
|
Watendlath is a narrow upland glen, through which
runs a mountain stream issuing out of Blea Tarn, lying high
up on the lonely fells. A hamlet, consisting of two or three
houses, is sweetly reflected in the small tarn, the surplus
water of which escapes under an extremely rude but
picturesque bridge at its foot.
|
Ashness Bridge
|
|
|
Ashness.- The tourist must then proceed down the
narrow valley till he comes into the high road round Derwent
Water, by Ashness. Above the fall of Lodore, the view of the
lake of Keswick, with the gleaming surface of Bassenthwaite
in the distance, is particularly fine.
