No. 48.
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.
