For the greater convenience of taking his pleasure on the
water, the traveller will now shift his quarters to Bowness,
where he will find himself, as we have said, comfortably
accommodated at either Ullock's Royal Hotel or the Crown.
Now is his time for visiting Furness Abbey. This should be
the first of his tours, because it will lead him into the
least mountainous parts of the district.

He will go down to Newby Bridge either by steamer, or by the
road; which passes the grounds of Storrs, and cuts over hill
and dale, and winds among the copses, till it crosses the
bridge opposite the inn. Those copses have been valuable to
the remotest known date, for charcoal, and they have become
more so since the increase of manufactures has stimulated
the demand for bobbins. There are bobbin-mills at Skelwith,
at Amble-
