No. 16.
PELTER BRIDGE, RYDAL. This bridge is a mile from Ambleside, the fore-ground on the left is brought from the other side of the bridge, the drawing being made out of a flat field on the Loughrigg side of the river Rothay - the houses are the beginning of the little village of Rydal, on the road from Ambleside to Keswick. The mountain over the lesser arch of the bridge is Nab Scar, from a certain point of which there is, to a great extent of distance, an exquisite and almost circular view of the country, which is composed of mountains, lakes, rivers, woods, and buildings; and this view, in its kind, is perhaps more interesting than can be furnished by the domains of Rydal from any other summit. |
