interesting. The first is by the common road, including
Buckhaw Brow, and the Ebbing and Flowing Well ...

... The other road to Settle, by Cross Streets, leads the
tourist through the retired hamlet of Lawkland, with its
fine old hall, built in the reign of Elizabeth, and having
been in the possession of the Inglebys from that period. By
this latter route, the road lies through the town of
Giggleswick, in the church-yard of which is the burial place
of Archdeacon Paley. Half a mile from Giggleswick is Settle,
a flourishing town - the mart of the Craven district. A
handsome Town Hall has lately been erected here, which
contains an extensive library, and an excellent news-room.
The most remarkable feature of the place is an enormous
rock, called Castleber, which raises it brusque front over
the eastern portion of the town, and seems to threaten it
with destruction. At its base are various shady serpentine
walks, and seats; and the summit is easily ascended by a
pathway cut in the rock. Here a succession of very beautiful
views is obtained of the valley of the Ribble, with
Pennygant in the north, and Pendlehill in the south; while,
to the north-west, the top of Ingleborough is just seen
rising behind the rugged summit of the hill above Mains
Park.

... In approaching Settle, the crags on the left grew nearer
to our way, till we ascended Brunton-brow into a chearful
valley (though thin of trees) to Giggleswick, a village with
a small piece of water by its side, covered with cots: near
it a church which belongs also to Settle; and half a mile
farther, having passed the Ribble over a bridge, I arrived
there; it is a small market town standing directly under a
rocky fell; there are not in it above a dozen good-looking
houses, the rest are old and low, with little wooden
porticos in front. My inn pleased me much (though small) for
the neatness and civility of the

As we approached towards Settle, in our return, a white
rock, like a tower, called Castlebar, immediately above the
town, and about twenty or thirty yards in perpendicular
height, engaged our attention. The precipice is partly
natural, and partly a work of art. It is made deeper and
more dangerous every day, in consequence of stones being got
from its bottom and sides, to supply an adjoining lime-kiln.

Settle is irregularly built; has a large and spacious
market-place, and some good houses in it. Though by no means
an inconsiderable town, either for trade, riches, or number
of inhabitants, it has no church or chapel: the church is at
Giggleswick, about a mile off, which appeared to be the
court end of the parish, consisting chiefly of gentlemen's
houses.
