Low Wood Inn
|
|
|
Low Wood Inn, distant from Bowness four and a half
miles, is delightfully placed on the margin of a small bay,
from which the head of Windermere unfolds itself with
exceeding grandeur, the woods and lawns of Brathay Park
bounding its receding waters, and backed by the fantastic
outline of the Langdale Pikes, and their neighbouring
mountain masses. The accommodation at this inn is excellent,
and it is a good station for a few days' stay.
|
Ambleside
|
|
|
AMBLESIDE is a small market-town in the vale of the Rothay,
romantically built on the side of a hill, commanding
prospects of the vale, the parks of Rydal and Brathay, and
Windermere. Excellent quarters may be found at the
Salutation, the Commercial, and White
Lion inns; and from its central situation, the town is
generally made the head-quarters of tourists for a
considerable time, as many very interesting excursions may
be made from it. Population, 1095; market-day, Wednesday.
