serpentines sweetly down the vale, amidst rich assemblage of
beautiful trees, by Hartsope Hall (a picturesque old
farm-house) to Brother Water.
The road from Ambleside to Ulls Water runs close to Brother
Water, and the mountains rise from it on the right in a very
bold style, as may be seen from the last subject. At Brother
Water the valley is scarcely half a mile across; and the
western side of the lake is bounded by a hill, which rises
steeply from it.
There is a road from Hartsope Hall to Ulls Water, which on
the banks of Brother Water is through a wood of fine oaks,
out of which the magnificent mountains of Hartsope rise in a
style of superior grandeur.
This bridge is over the little river just mentioned, and on
the footway from the Hall to the travelled side of the
valley. In this representation Dove Crag is the distance,

GRIZEDALE BRIDGE.
From Brother Water to the Inn at Patterdale the road is

The inn at Patterdale is ten miles from Ambleside,
twenty-one from Keswick, fourteen from Penrith, and half a
mile from Ulls Water.
Grizedale Bridge is over the brook which runs out of
Grizedale by Patterdale Hall, and is distant from the Inn
about half a mile upon the Penrith road. The distance is
Place Fell.
The head of Ulls Water lies south-west of its foot; the lake
is of an irregular figure, and composed of three unequal
reaches, the middle of which is somewhat larger than the
northern one; the shortest is seen from the Inn at
Patterdale, and not half the length of either of the others.
Ulls Water is less unequal in its breadth than the other
