"SEATHWAITE" "Is a vale deeply environed amongst mountains of great sublimity; it has no lake, but the copious stream of the 'silver-bright Duddon,' whose feeders flow precipitously from the Shire stones, winds amongst fields, rocks, and hills. The finest part of this valley, is from the chapel to Goldrill Crag. Untutored nature seems to hold absolute sway; the cottages are prettily situated, some being picturesquely adorned with trees. Its highest part, called Mosedale, is tame and unmeaning. This secluded valley may be approached, either by Broughton, or over Walna Scar, or it may be entered at its head over Wrynose and Cockley Beck. The Walna Scar road leaves Church Coniston, and proceeds by an easy path under the foot of Man-mountain, whence there is a steep craggy ascent to Goats Water, whose length is half a mile, and margin stony. The road to Seathwaite Tarn is over a pass, little inferior in height to the Man. This tarn contains on its northern side a rocky island, and Fairfield may be seen over its" goto sourcePage 13:- "surface, between side screens formed of rocky precipices. By following the stream which issues out of this water, the descent into the valley cannot be mistaken, to Nettleslack Bridge, whence to the inn at Newfield, by the chapel, is only a short distance. The wonderful Walker officiated as clergyman for a long period in this vale. ..." |

A party of tourists, among whom were two sisters, were on the heights, intending to cross Esk Hause into Borrowdale, and to spend the night at Seathwaite,- the first settlement there. Now there is, as we have seen, another Seathwaite on the Duddon; and mistakes frequently arise between them. On Esk Hause, one of the ladies lost sight of her party behind some of the rocks scattered among the tarns there, and took a turn to the right instead of the left. A shepherd of whom she inquired her way to Seathwaite, pointed down to the Duddon valley; and that way she went till she found herself at Cockley Beck, ..." |
