Number 51. This view of the lake and vale of Grasmere is
from the side of Loughrigg Fell, below the road to Langdale
Chapel from Ambleside. There is only one island on this
lake, but from it there is a fine panorama of the
circumjacent country; Helme Crag, a mountain of good figure
from some parts of the valley, is seen above the church;
beyond which is Steel Fell. Seat Sandal rises high; and at
the intersection of the sweeping lines of Steel Fell and
Seat Sandal is Dunmail Raise, a considerable heap of stones,
dividing Westmoreland and Cumberland; the zigzag line below
the raise is part of the road between Keswick and
Ambleside.
