SKIDDAW, TAKEN NEAR LOWDORE. Derwent Water with Skiddaw, as here presented is from a field which joins the road, and is on the east of the stream proceeding from the water-fall. Vicar's Island, Ramp's Holm, and Lord's Island are succeeded by various enclosures skirting the base of Skiddaw; the point of land from which the last scene was taken is observable by its projection into the lake - Falcon Crag towers grandly on the right; the oak and ash trees were added from the road. |
