present is rented by Mrs. Airey. - Stockgill-force, upon the
same stream, will have been mentioned to you as one of the
sights of the neighbourhood. And by a Tourist halting a few
days in Ambleside, the Nook also might be visited; a
spot where there is a bridge over Scandale-beck, which makes
a pretty subject for the pencil. Lastly, for residents of a
week or so at Ambleside, there are delightful rambles over
every part of Loughrigg Fell and among the enclosures on its
sides; particularly about Loughrigg Tarn, and on its eastern
side about Fox How and the properties adjoining to the
northwards.

ROAD FROM AMBLESIDE TO KESWICK.
The Waterfalls of Rydal are pointed out to every one. But it
ought to be observed here, that Rydal-mere is no where seen
to advantage from the main road. Fine views of it may
be had from Rydal Park; but these grounds, as well as those
of Rydal Mount and Ivy Cottage, from which also it is viewed
to advantage, are private. A foot road passing behind Rydal
Mount and under Nab Scar to Grasmere, is very favourable to
views of the Lake and the Vale, looking back towards
Ambleside. The horse road also, along the western side of
the Lake, under Loughrigg fell, as before mentioned, does
justice to the beauties of this small mere, of which the
Traveller who keeps the high road is not at all aware.
