Number 49. Curwen Island, the property of John Christian Curwen, Esq. and the largest Island on Windermere, apparently uniting with the promontories, seems to cut the lake in two; Storrs, on the first projecting land, is the property of Colonel Bolton, who has lately made vast additions to the house; the improvements, which are in good taste, do credit to the architect. The two ferry points, with Berkshire Island, lie between the houses of Mr. Bolton and Mr. Curwen. Calgarth, the seat of the Right Rev. the Bishop of Llandaff, is among the enclosures on the banks of the lake, and is seen beyond the Island House. The distant mountains are Fairfield, Scandale, Wansfell, Colda, and Hill Bell. This view is from the Fellside, above Beech Hill. |
