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.
