MILLS IN AMBLESIDE.

The Bark Mill in the last print, composes likewise a part of the present, and the water which turns the wheel is conveyed in a spout from the corn mill, which is seen upon the opposite side of the river. - The corn mill adjoins the bridge, which is the only one in the town; the distant mountain is Wansfell with its pike.

STOCK GILL.

About half the way to Stock Gill Force, from Ambleside, is on the horse road to the groves, and the remainder of that way, after having crossed a field about one hundred yards over, is by the side of the brook; and the Stock Gill scene, here presented, is taken near that part of the path which joins the brook.
