large rock overlooking Loughrigg Tarn, he will have an
instantaneous burst upon a most extraordinary assemblage of
landscape beauties. Returning from the top of the rock, and
proceeding by the path, he will soon perceive Loughrigg Tarn in
the best position for a picture; having Langdale Pikes in the
distance. The return to Ambleside may be made round the north end
of the fell; having the lakes of Grasmere and Rydal in view on
the left hand. A walk altogether of about seven or eight miles.
Or, on leaving Ivy Crag, he may traverse over the highest part of
the fell; and make the descent towards Rydal.
Those who travel in carriages may go by Clappersgate, leaving
Loughrigg Tarn and Grasmere Lake both on the right hand, and
Grasmere Church on the left; returning, on the eastern side of
the two lakes, by the hamlet of Rydal to Ambleside - an excursion
of ten miles. If required, a deviation may be made to Skelwith
Force, or into Great Langdale.
