little distance from the road, and bearing some resemblance to
the form of a house. The road passes the small lake of Brothers'
Water, and from thence leads through a narrow but pleasant valley
to the inn at Patterdale. Here a boat may be taken upon
Ullswater, after which the return may be made the same way: or
the carriage may be driven along the side of Ullswater to
Penrith, 15 miles. Or it may sometimes be preferred to stop at
Pooley Bridge, from whence Lowther Castle and Hawes Water may be
visited.
