BROTHER WATER.
The road to Ulls Water from Ambleside, which is by Brother
Water, is wild and mountainous; the ascent from Ambleside is
steep, with little variation to the top of Kirkstone. One
way from Low Wood to Ulls Water is by Ambleside, the other
is by Troutbeck, both roads meeting on the summit of the
hill; near which, on the left, is a cubical sort of stone,
called Kirkstone, which gives name to the pass.
The views round Brother Water are sublime; the vale is
fertile, and cloathed in wood, which diminishes in quantity
as its ascends the mountains, and is generally in excellent
distribution.
This view of Brother Water, which is between six and seven
miles from Ambleside, is from the enclosures on the right,
after having descended from Kirkstone, and not half a mile
short of the lake. Place Fell is in the distance.
