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.
