Page 165:-
into two by a wooden bridge and piers. The lower end of this
water ought to be visited, and a pleasant, agreeable tour
may be made from Keswick, by approaching it along
Shoolthwaite Moss, keeping up its western side, under Raven
Crag, as far as Armboth House. Here crossing the lake, pass
through Dalehead Park into the public road; thence through
Legberthwaite, having the castle rock of St. John's on the
right, to Threlkeld, and so to Keswick.

King's Head,
Legburthwaite
|
|
|
King's Head is a decent house of entertainment,
situated in Legberthwaite, a vale which comprises as much
pastoral beauty, enclosed in as much stern and
wildly-magnificent scenery, as any in the district. A little
beyond this, the picturesque bridge of Smalthwaite spans,
with a single arch, St. John's Beck, in its progress to
unite its streams with the Glenderamaken and the
Glenderaterra, after which it is known as the Greta.

Castlerigg

|
|
Castle Rigg.- Before arriving here, you pass through
the dreary moss of Shoolthwaite, whence there is a
retrospective view of Helvellyn from his base to his crown.
The view from Castle Rigg must be left to speak for itself.
|
Keswick
|
|
|
KESWICK, a small market-town between the foot of Skiddaw and
Derwent Water. It may be considered as the capital of the
Lakes, and is frequented by a great number of visitors
during the season, who make excursions from it to the
surrounding lakes, valleys, and mountains. It has
manufactures of woollens, black lead pencils, spades, &c.
