		LEATHES WATER.
		The [Horse Head] inn is a mile from the head of the lake, which is known by the several names of Leathes Water, Thirlmere, Wythburn Water, and Brackmere. It is about three miles in length, though rarely exceeding a quarter of a mile in breadth; the depth is not above eighteen fathoms, and its waters, which are the most elevated of any, are not remarkable for clearness. Pike, trout, and perch, are the chief fish. It is nearly equally divided by two promontories, connected by a series of wooden bridges and stone causeways at a place where it is fordable. The lower half, containing a small island, presents the most beautiful views; the upper part being more remarkable for wildness and sublimity. Tourists are generally content with
		Page 48:-
		a sight of this lake from the high road, but the western side ought not on any account to be passed by without a perambulation. This mere is fed by two streams; the main one rising in Wythburn Head; the other, not much inferior, pours down a rocky gill, after issuing out of Harrop Tarn, a marshy water of considerable size, situated at the foot of a precipice, in a coom on the western side of the valley.
		In order to see this vale from its western side, cross the meadows from the inn to a few white cottages, enlivened by the green leaves of the cheerful hollin tree, called the City, a corruption undoubtedly from some more homely epithet; thence the road, not suitable for modern carriages, leads under towering precipices and crags to an eminence or rather promontory jutting into the lake, from which Helvellyn appears to rise directly and perpendicularly out of the water. In front, is the upper lake and alpine bridges, separating it from the lower reach, with the wood-crested How and Naddle Fell on one hand, on the other, the black and storm-shattered fronts of Fisher and Raven Crags; and often between these rocky frames Blencathra hangs suspended in aerial blue. In a coom on the left, between Bull Crag and Fisher
		Page 49:-
		Crag, are the Deargarth Cascades. Armboth House is pleasantly situated on the top of a gentle eminence under the Fells, whence the ground falls in easy slopes all round to the water's edge: the views from the house are commanding, and the eye rests upon the huge surfaces of Helvellyn and the Great Dodd. Raven Crag is a mighty mass of dark, frowning crags, that have braved the fury of many a storm. From its foot, looking diagonally across the lake, Dalehead Hall, amid woods of a modern growth, and, for the first time, the summit of Helvellyn, form a magnificent picture. Hence to the outlet of the lake, where the river may be watched, forming still pools between low meadows of green pasture, and stealing quietly and rather sluggishly away to foam and chafe with the rocks and wilds of Legberthwaite, the traveller will shortly after join the direct road, from which he had diverged in the dreary moss of Shoolthwaite.
		From the Horse Head inn, the carriage-road winds under Helvellyn by the margin of the lake, which it leaves by a very steep ascent. This side of the dale presents the sternest features, seen, too, most impressively -
		Page 164:-
		...
		... A little beyond this dreary and wind-swept pass [Dunmail Raise], there is a view, forward, of the cold and forbidding vale and water of Wythburn, bounded by the sloping sides of Helvellyn and Seat Sandal on the right, and by the Borrodale fells on the left, with Skiddaw closing in the view to the north.
		...
		Wythburn Water, known also as Thirlmere or Leathes Water, is a narrow and deep lake, divided
		Page 165:-
		into two by a wooden bridge and piers. The lower end of this water ought to be visited, and a pleasant, agreeable tour may be made from Keswick, by approaching it along Shoolthwaite Moss, keeping up its western side, under Raven Crag, as far as Armboth House. Here crossing the lake, pass through Dalehead Park into the public road; thence through Legberthwaite, having the castle rock of St. John's on the right, to Threlkeld, and so to Keswick.

		THIRLMERE
		- Commonly called LEATHES' WATER, from the family to whose estate it belongs; and sometimes WYTHBURN WATER, from the valley in which it is partly situated - lies at the foot of the 'mighty Helvellyn;' upon the highest level of any of the lakes, being near 500 feet above the sea; it is upwards of two miles and a half in length, and intersected by several rocky promontories; it is divided into an upper and lower lake, between which a picturesque wooden bridge leads to Armboth House. The depth of this lake, which has been reported to be very great, has not been found to exceed eighteen fathoms. A wooded island, of half an acre, lies near the shore, on the lower, or northern part of the lake; and the surface of the water being of late somewhat lowered by opening its outlet, a small rock in the upper part has become more conspicuous.
		Travellers are commonly satisfied with a sight of this lake from the road; but those who have leisure may obtain better views of the lower and finer part of the lake, from different stations in the grounds near Dalehead House; and finer still from the other side of the water. But the most perfect view of the whole lake is from a rocky eminence at a little distance from the northern end of the water.

		Thyrillmere belongs to Thomas Leathes, Esq; but is of small value for fish; there are none indeed found here but a few pike and trout. The form of it much resembles that of a bee or pismire, as it is so narrow in the middle, that there is a bridge across it; at each end it swells out to a considerable extent, as may be seen in the plan. The mountain which bounds one side of the lake is Helveylin, as far as Swirls-gate; on the other (from Armboth to Wythburn,) is called the Deer-garth.

Its singular beauty is its being almost intersected in the middle by two peninsulas, that are joined by a bridge, in a taste suitable to the genius of the place, which serves for an easy communication among the shepherds that dwell on the opposite banks.

Came to the foot of Helvellyn, along which runs an excellent road, looking down from a little height on Leathes-water, (called also Thirlmere, or Wythburn-water) and soon descending on its margin. The lake looks black from its depth, and from the gloom of the vast crags that scowl over it, though really clear as glass: it is narrow, and about three miles long, resembling a river in its course; little shining torrents hurrying down the rocks to join it, but not a bush to overshadow them or cover their march; ...

	hearsay	There were two small lakes; Leathes Water to the north, Wythburn Water to the south. These became one when Thirlmere reservoir was created, raising the water level 54 feet. The hamlets of Armboth and Wythburn were flooded. The dam wall is 260 yards long, 100 feet high. John Ruskin and Thomas Carlyle were involved in the resistance to the project, and though this failed the issue was one of the seeds that fruited as the National Trust in 1895. Ruskin described Manchester Corporation:- as a coporate body, plotting at last to steal, and sell, for a profit, the waters of Thirlmere and the clouds of Helvellyn ... [they] should be put at the bottom of the Lake of Thirlmere ...
