Castle, all of which have been mentioned as seen from the
lake. Clappersgate, with its white houses, nestles under
Loughrigg, at the head of the lake; and the Brathay valley,
with its pretty little church on its knoll, opens
beautifully as seen from the toll-bar. From Water-head to
Ambleside, there are residences, humble or handsome, on
either hand. The traveller can hardly be wrong in his choice
of an inn, as all three are comfortable and well served. At
present there are no baths in the place;- a singular
deficiency where there is so much of company on the one hand
and of water on the other. The inconvenience is, however, in
the way of being remedied; and it is to be hoped that
another season will not arrive without a provision of this
needful refreshment for the dusty and tired traveller,- to
say nothing of the residents, who must desire it for
purposes of health as well as enjoyment.
