THE VALE OF KESWICK.
This Vale stretches, without winding, nearly North and
South, from the head of Derwent Water to the foot of
Bassenthwaite Lake. It communicates with Borrowdale on the
South; with the river Greta, and Thirlmere, on the East,
with which the Traveller has become acquainted on his way
from Ambleside; and with the Vale of Newlands on the West -
which last Vale he may pass through, in going to, or
returning from, Buttermere. The best views of Keswick Lake
are from Crow Park; Frier's Crag; the Stable-field, close
by; the Vicarage, and from various points in taking the
circuit of the Lake. More distant views, and perhaps full as
interesting, are from the side of Latrigg, from Ormathwaite,
and Applethwaite; and thence along the road at the foot of
Skiddaw towards Bassenthwaite, for about a quarter of a
mile. There are fine bird's- eye views from the Castle-hill;
