DERWENT WATER, FROM CASTLERIGG. ... Castlerigg is a mile from Keswick, and about two hundred yards west of the first mile stone on the Ambleside road, and this view is from a field north of the houses, and looking towards the mountains of Borrowdale and Wastdale, of which Great Gable and Great-End are the most remote from the eye; the woods about the village of Grange are seen at the head of the lake, and over them Gate Crag, which is succeeded by a mountain that stretches itself north towards Cat Bells; Wallow Crag, richly dressed in wood, screens the valley on the east. |
