There is a circuit by which the chief objects of the Lake District can be seen in four days, even by ladies and elderly persons. We will describe this route, interpolating some directions for stout pedestrians who can undertake more than the majority of tourists.
The starting-point of this tour may be either Keswick or Ambleside, according as the traveller enters the district from the north or the south. Supposing it to be Keswick, the first day's journey is by Matterdale to Ullswater, and by the Kirkstone Pass to Ambleside.
