notice here. The Earl of Lonsdale has also a large mansion,
called the Castle. The tourist from Dublin, Liverpool, or
Glasgow, may land here and penetrate into the Lakes by way
of Egremont, Gosforth, Wast Water, over the Stye Head into
Borrowdale, and thence to Keswick or Ambleside.

Ennerdale Bridge

From Egremont, however, we hasten onwards to Ennerdale,
passing through Cleator, chiefly inhabited by those engaged
in working the iron mines. The Church at this village, owing
to its delapidated condition, is to be rebuilt forthwith. On
the right, the river Ehen flows the whole way, occasionally
appearing and disappearing, as it glides through brakes and
bushes of alders and willows in its course from the lake of
Ennerdale.

Ennerdale Water
|
|
|
LAKE OF ENNERDALE.
This water is about two miles and a half long; near its foot
is half a mile across, but towards the head it grows much
narrower. It is well stocked with trout and an inferior kind
of char. It is much secluded, difficult of access, and,
consequently, rarely seen. The shores are bold and somewhat
savage. The best scenery is between its foot and the side of
the hill to the north, in descending from Floutern Tarn.
Tourists generally rest satisfied with what may be seen in
passing the lower end, on their progress to Buttermere, few
liking to extend their journey into the dale. Pedestrians
anxious to explore the recesses of the mountains, may pass
along
