It will also much enhance the pleasure [visiting Ullswater], if they previously send notice to the fishermen at How-Town, or Water-Millock, to prepare their boats and nets; so that at their return, which will be about five hours, they may see the manner of taking the different kinds of fish. The price of these fishermen is three draughts for five shillings, and the fish they take is the property of their employers. Those who are fond of angling will do well to take their tackle with them, as perhaps they can no where meet with better sport. I one day caught, in this manner, between Powley and the small island, twenty-nine trouts." "..." goto source page 25:- "..." "The next remarkable place is the village of Water-Millock, the seat and manor of John Robinson, Esq; [seat of John Robinson, Esq.] it is held under the Earl of Surrey as parcel of the barony of Greystock, and is one of the most beautiful situations our Island affords. It is compleatly sheltered from every inclement blast by mountains and groves, and every window in the house presents you with a beautiful landscape, each varied from another both in" goto source Page 26:- "objects and stile. On one side is the lake; on another a beautiful and cultivated scene, composed of water, wood, and hills; on another, high, rugged, and broken rocks, interspersed with here and there a green shrub; and on the other is a beautiful view up the lake, including the rugged and varied hills on the opposite side, together with Helveylin and its craggy inferiors." "Here fire a gun or two to rouse the echoes from the hills; the traveller will be astonished to hear them like repeated peals of thunder, some linger, some shorter, now seeming like the crash of worlds, now reverberating only in hollow murmurs. The effect of martial music is inconceivable, more particularly when joined to the reports of the guns. Every note is re-echoed in ten thousand varied tones; sometimes the ear fancies it perceives something of a regular strain, then again all relapses into such a mixture of wildness and harmony as is beyond the reach of art; whilst that savage uproar which the guns occasion, disturbs at intervals the softer harmony, and impresses the mind with ideas awfully pleasing." |
