No.18. ELTER WATER. This view of Elter Water is scarcely a quarter of a mile from Skelwith Force (No.11), and taken from an enclosure on the south of Little Loughrigg, which is common land. No.19. RYDAL WATER. From Pelter Bridge, which is near the first mile-stone on the road from Ambleside to Keswick, there is a horse road, under Loughrigg Fell, by the farm-house called Coat How, and the lakes of Rydal and Grasmere, to Grasmere church; and this representation is from a field between the farm-house and the lake, about a mile and a quarter from Ambleside. The beautiful islands which adorn Rydal Water are here given; over which is seen the road to Keswick, as it crosses the common called the White Moss. Silver How, a mountain rising above Grasmere, is surmounted by Langdale Pikes. No.20. GRASMERE, FROM LOUGHRIGG FELL. This view of Grasmere lake and island is from the side of the hill, not far from the craggy summit called Round Knott, and about half a mile west of Pelter Bridge. The Fells of Grasmere, and those bounding the two branches of Easedale, are the distant objects. |
