from one to the other. The north-west pike is the lowest,
but most regular and conical; the south, is more broken and
rugged; and the east, which is the highest and most easy of
ascent, overlooks the rest, and all these mountain regions,
rising in masses, that are beheld with somewhat of terror.
Langdale Head and Scafell Pikes are quite close. On the
right are Great End in Borrowdale, Seatoller in Yewbarrow,
Great Gable in Wastdale, Glaramara and Rosthwaite Cam,
Grasmire, Grizedale and Causey Pikes, Lord's Seat, and the
distant coasts of Cumberland and Scotland. In a northern
direction are seen Skiddaw, and on the left of him
Helvellyn, Fairfield, and Wansfell, Ambleside, with
Windermere, Loughrigg Tarn, Elter Water, and Esthwaite
Water.

Elter Water Tarn has low marshy shores, frequently inundated
by its waters; seen in conjunction with Windermere, it,
however, forms a beautiful picture. From the chapel, the
tourist may return either by Loughrigg Tarn to Ambleside, or
round Loughrigg Fell, along the terrace-road, of which there
are sweet views of Grasmere and Rydal; both which waters
should be seen from their western sides, although the
carriage-road along their eastern banks is replete with
beauty.
