CRUMMOCK LAKE

|
|
|
Is nearly three miles in length, three quarters of a mile in
breadth, and twenty-two fathoms deep. It is situated between the
two lofty mountains, Grasmire or Grasmoor, on the eastern, and
Melbreak on the western side; and in combination with the more
distant hills, it affords some excellent views. It has three or
four small islands, but they are placed too near the shore to add
much to its beauty. The best general views of the lake, are from
the rocky point on the eastern side, called the Hause; and from
the road between Scale Hill and Loweswater: and the views of the
mountains, from the bosom of the lake, are excellent.

Both these lakes are well stocked with trout and char, the latter
of which are smaller in size, but perhaps not inferior in
quality, to those of Windermere or Coniston. There is a
comfortable inn at Buttermere, between the two lakes, and another
at Scale Hill on the foot of Crummock; at one of which places a
boat is usually taken, as well for a survey of the scenery, as
being the most convenient way of seeing the noted waterfall of
Scale Force, on the opposite side of the lake.
