Sadgill.- The return from Chapelhill must be up the
hill, having the stream from Small Water on the right, till
a small stream is seen flowing down into Long Sleddale,
which extends hence about six miles. The chapel stands near
the centre of the dale, which is watered by the Sprint.

Ings
|
|
|
Ings Chapel is a neat edifice, rebuilt in 1743.
|
Orest Head
|
|
|
Orest Head is ornamented by several villas, and
commands very noble views of Windermere.
|
Troutbeck Bridge
|
|
|
Troutbeck Bridge crosses a rivulet, issuing from the
high grounds on the right, and flowing down the deep and
picturesque vale of Troutbeck. The village, or rather string
of hamlets, bears the names of Town-end, Town-head,
High-green, Cragg, and Highfold, and is distant from three
to four miles north by east of Bowness, and south-east of
Ambleside. From the elevated parts of the road above
Troutbeck Bridge, splendid views of Windermere are obtained.
The valley of Troutbeck is well worth visiting, and pleasant
walks may be contrived to it from Ambleside, Low Wood Inn,
and Bowness.
