"... Esthwaite Water is about two miles in length, and half a mile across. The most striking object on its borders is the promontory at Esthwaite Hall; it shoots boldly to the lake, which is encompassed by gentle hills. There is an excellent road round the lake; and the distant objects seen from and connected with it, if not sublime, are at least pleasing."

page 6:- "From Hawkshead proceed down the western side of the Water, and pass Esthwaite Hall: the road here divides; that on the right leads to Ulverstone, and the left either to the Ferry House or round Esthwaite Water."
"Ascend the Ulverstone road about two hundred yards, to the common's boundary on the left, and from the trees near that boundary see the promontory before spoken of, and Esthwaite Hall between it and the eye. Each side the lake, as seen from this place, is environed with meadow and pasture ground pleasantly wooded; the lands at the head of the lake are of the same character, only diversified by villages peeping from amongst groves of trees: the scene is closed, though at a great distance, by the lofty mountains of Grasmere, Rydal, and Ambleside."

"Is about two miles in length, and half a mile across. It is encompassed by an excellent carriage road, and from its unequal figure and enclosures - its two peninsulas fringed with trees, shooting into the lake - form exceeding good scenery. Perch, pike, eels, and trout, are the fish taken in its waters. A small floating island also occasionally appears to astonish the beholder."
"In passing round the lake, there are three remote but distinct distances, which add grandeur to the placid lake, and its surrounding open valley and gently swelling eminences - the Langdale Pikes, the Fells of Grasmere, Rydal, Ambleside, and Gunner's How."
"Some think the most advantageous point of view in which this water appears, is to the traveller"
