Is a good market town with 6059 inhabitants. It is a considerable
thoroughfare, being situated at the junction of the Yorkshire and
Lancashire roads to Carlisle and Glasgow. The principal inns are
the Crown and the George. From Penrith to Alston Moor is 20
miles, to Appleby 14, to Carlisle 18, to Kendal by Shap 27, to
Keswick 18.
Ullswater may be visited from Penrith, going either by Eamont
Bridge and Tirrel, or by Dalemain, to the Inn at Pooley Bridge;
with carriages the former road is generally preferred.

Pooley Bridge
Ullswater by boat
|
|
|
POOLEY BRIDGE is a desirable station for the lovers of angling;
or to take a boat for viewing the scenery of Ullswater. During
the first part of the voyage the banks of the lake are
cultivated, and adorned with several handsome villas; the
mountains, right and left, are humble; but in front there is a
full view of the 'mighty Helvellyn.' On the second reach of the
lake the mountains on the left make a nearer approach, and the
shore on the right becomes more wooded. The boat may be landed at
Lyulph's Tower for the view of Airey Force; from whence the third
division, or head of the lake, is surrounded by the lofty and
romantic mountains of Patterdale. Or the carriage may be driven
along the side of the lake, by Watermillock, and through
Gowbarrow Parks, by Lyulph's Tower to the inn at Patterdale, 15
miles.
