Those who are not inclined to make the whole circuit of the lake,
may take a ride by the foot of Skiddaw, to a station a little
above the road upon an open common, at the distance of five miles
from Keswick. Here the principal part of the lake may be seen,
with the three bold promontories of Bowness, Broadness, and
Scarness, and in returning (if on horseback or on foot) take the
upper road, by Milbeck, Applethwaite, and Ormathwaite, from
whence some of the best views of Derwent Lake and its environs
will be found. From Applethwaite or Ormathwaite, they may either
take the nearest road to Keswick, or proceed by Mr. Calvert's
occupation way along the side of Latrigg, and enter the town by
the Penrith road.
