No. 31.
THE ISLANDS ON DERWENT WATER.
The site of the present scene is near that of the last, but
looking towards the mountains of Newlands and Braithwaite,
and this view comprehends the three large islands.
Lord's Island is beyond the trees, and on the other side of
the lake see Water-end bay, at the extremity of which stands
that tasteful building erected by Lord William Gordon, for
his occasional residence; all the lands bounding that side
of the lake observed here belong to his lordship. - Vicars
Island, late Pocklington's Island, now the property of
Colonel Peché, from this place apparently in contact
with the mainland, is on the right, and St. Herbert's on the
left. The mountains Swinside, Barrow, and Grisdale, with its
pike, are seen over Vicar's Island;
and at the St. Herbert's end of this scene, the two Cat
Bells, and beyond them Hindsgarth in Newlands - the centre
is occupied by Causey Pike, and the more distant mountain
Grasmire, which mountain is the eastern boundary of Crummock
Water.
