STANLEY GILL.
... if he should have the curiosity to see Stanley Gill, he may have access to it by applying at the hall [Dalegarth]; the waterfall part of the Gill, is more than half a mile on the left.
... The chasm is awfully sublime, the rocks rising almost perpendicular over their bases, from the grisly sides of which, impend trees in the richest wildness. - The mountains of Eskdale and Wastdale are fine distances, as seen out of the chasm on returning to the Hall; Scho-fell is the principal.
