Print, soft ground etching, Lower Fall at Rydal,
Westmorland, by William Green, Ambleside, Westmorland, 1810.

No. 18.
LOWER FALL AT RYDAL.
Highly to the credit of the Rydal family, who have given to
the public a sight of the falls, excellent foot-paths have
been made to them from the road: this view is from a
summer-house which is near the hall, and is a scene as
complete in its kind as any in the country. - What Mr.
Gilpin has excellently said of this fall, will be more
properly applied to it as observed from a bank a few yards
above the summer-house than from it. - "The water falls
within a few yards of the eye, which being rather above
its level, has a long perspective view of the stream, as
it hurries from the higher grounds, tumbling in various
little breaks through its rocky channel, darkened with
thicket, till it arrives at the edge of the precipice before
the window, from
whence it rushes into the bason, which is formed by nature
in the native rock."
