No.34. BOWDER STONE. Bowder Stone is a mile from Grange, and five miles from Keswick: the road from the Bridge to the Stone is under Grange Fell on the left, and the river Derwent on the right; and displays, in rugged grandeur, every variety of composition capable of being produced from rocks and mountains. Mr. Pocklington, who is now the proprietor of Bowder Stone, has pulled down the walls with which it was heretofore encumbered, and thereby rendered it an excellent painter's study. No.35. EAGLE CRAG, NEAR STONETHWAITE. By Bowder Stone it is six miles from Keswick to Rosthwaite, and seven to Stonethwaite; and that part of the river from which this view is taken is about a mile more - making the distance from Keswick eight miles. Langstre is the name of the valley on the right of Eagle Crag, and Greenup of that upon the left.
