Calder Bridge.- From Ennerdale the traveller must
proceed over the bleak fells of Copeland Forest,
significantly called Cold Fell, to Calder Bridge, where are
two inns, at which accommodation for the night may be
obtained. A beautiful walk up the river leads to Calder
Abbey, a fine specimen of Norman and early English
architecture. Close to the village, in a spacious park,
stands Ponsonby Hall.
On the second day, the tourist must proceed to

Gosforth
The Strands
|
|
|
Gosforth, a large, irregularly-built village, where
the antiquarian tourist will be gratified by the inspection
of a tall and beautifully ornamented pillar, which stands in
the churchyard, on the south side. From this village, two
roads lead to Wast Water - one directly to the left, over
rising grounds, which brings you immediately to the lake;
the other is by the Strands. Here are two good inns, about a
mile and a half below the foot of the lake. At Crookhead is
a very picturesque cottage.

Wast Water
|
|
|
WAST WATER.- The principal approach to this lake is that by
which we have introduced the tourist to it, viz. by the
foot. This lake is well worth the notice of the traveller
who is not afraid of fatigue: no part of the country is more
distinguished by sublimity.

Wasdale Head
|
|
|
Wastdale Head contains only a few scattered houses;
and its small chapel has only eight pews, and is without a
burial-ground.
