Ulverston, with the majestic mountains of Coniston and Langdale.
In a walk from the pike, towards Kirkstone, it is curious to
observe Great Gable start out, as it were, from behind Langdale
Pikes, and appearing to separate itself from them still further
as the spectator makes his progress along this ridge. Wansfell
may be conveniently visited either from Ambleside or Low Wood
Inn; and a formation of slaty limestone may be observed crossing
its southern end.

Is attached to the mountain Grasmoor, and rises with a steep
ascent to the height of nearly 2000 feet above Buttermere. It
commands excellent views of the three lakes of Buttermere,
Crummock, and Loweswater; with the summits of the principal
mountains from Helvellyn to those of Borrowdale, Wasdale,
Ennerdale, and Buttermere. The Isle of Man is also in sight, and
a considerable portion of the shires of Kirkcudbright and Wigton
in Scotland.

Lake; and the moderate degree of exertion required to climb it,
will be amply repaid by the prospects. It is just what might be
wished in the place where it stands - high
