the lower extremity of the lake may be seen over the beautiful
grounds of Hallsteads.
|
Ullswater by boat
|
|
This lake, like others, is most advantageously seen by commencing
at its foot; so that, whether by the road, or in a boat, the
grandeur of the scenery is continually increasing as the
traveller approaches the mountains; but the views from the lake
are more open, and the water itself appears more spacious, from
the boat on its surface, than from any elevation above it.
|
inns
|
|
There is a comfortable inn at Pooley Bridge, on the foot of the
lake; an another at Patterdale, a little distance from its head.
They both furnish boats upon the lake: and the long wanted medium
of land conveyance is now in part supplied;- horses and jaunting
cars can be had at Pooley Bridge; and a post chaise and horses at
Patterdale.
