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.
