CONISTON WATER HEAD.- There is here a good inn, situated at
the head of the lake, and backed by some magnificent
fir-trees. Here the tourist may stop for the purpose of
making the following trips, which amply repay the delay they
require - vix., (1.) The ascent of the Old Man, and the
continuation thence as far as the Chapel in Seathwaite,
returning by Torver; (2.) The walk into Yewdale and
Tilberthwaite; and (3.) The ride or walk round the lake
itself. These excursions will be found described in this
work.

Hawkshead
|
|
|
HAWKSHEAD is a neat small market-town, standing in a warm
and sheltered valley, surrounded by the lofty fells of
Furness, and is doubtless of great antiquity, although there
is no authentic record of its origin. The Free Grammar
School has been the nursing mother of many eminent scholars.
The beautiful and pastoral lake, Esthwaite Water, may very
conveniently be perambulated from this place, and
comfortable quarters may be had at the Red Lion.
Population, 749; market-day, Monday.
