... The western route, on leaving Kendal, heads straight for Windermere, climbing up a steep hill to an old toll-gate, passing through Staveley and then descending to Windermere town, which has grown up as a modern holiday centre on the very shore of the beautiful lake of the same name, the largest of the group. ... | ||

... After passing a short way from Kendal, the views of the country become extremely interesting. Near the eye some of it is waste, partly spotted, and patched, with short wood, and it is partially cultivated, whilst massive protuberances or fractured partitions of the native stratum of grey-coloured stone bursts to appearance through the soil in every direction. At some part of the way, the distance is disagreeably w[i]ld, at others placid, romantic, and picturesque. Sometimes there appears over the whole the vast Stavely and Coitmoor fells towering among the clouds in indescribable sublimity. ... | ||
