BUILDINGS AT CONISTON WATERHEAD. The New Inn at Waterhead stands near the head of the lake, and this scene is upon the road from the church and village of Coniston, by that inn to Ambleside; it is about two or three hundred yards from the inn, and that distance from the mansion house, called Waterhead, the property of --- Knott, Esq. and which is still nearer Ambleside. An artist will make various useful selections from these buildings, under different points of view, and he may gain advantage from studies of the local colouring. |
