Martindale
|
|
|
This side cannot be pursued to Patterdale but by
pedestrians, who after leaving How Town, penetrate into
Martindale, a sequestered spot shut out from the lake; its
one-arched bridge, a chapel with low roof and simple
bell-gable, and a picturesque yew-tree, are romantic
objects. At the head of this dale, where it divides into two
grains, is a hunting-box of the Hasell's. The want of wood
here gives interest to the few scattered houses which are
embowered in sycamore. A green path leads to the top of the
western ridge, whence there is a view of the last reach of
Ulles Water, bordered by black steeps - the narrow grassy
vale of Bordale immediately beneath - Penrith beyond - and
Cross Fell in the extreme verge of the horizon. In passing
down to Patterdale, several beautiful views are presented of
that dale and of Brother Water, with the heights of
Kirkstone.

Watermillock

The carriage-road leads from Pooley Bridge, on the
Cumberland side, along the first reach, which is
comparatively speaking tame, having Soulby Fell, a smooth
green hill, on the right. Near the pleasant village of
Watermillock, stood the old church, in a very sequestered
bay; the old church-yard yew-tree still survives. The new
church is built further up the hill-side, and was
consecrated by Osbaldistone, Bishop of Carlisle, on his way
to crown Elizabeth. At the extremity of the church
promontory stands Hallsteads, the modern residence of J.
Marshall, Esq. Immediately after passing this, on the left,
you enter
