From Bampton the party may either return to Penrith or be
conducted into the great road at Shap. But to such as make this
excursion on foot, or on horseback, it will be found a pleasing
variety to turn off the road a little before arriving at Helton,
and follow a track over the common called Moor Dovack, which
affords a fine view of Ullswater and its neighbouring scenery;
and at Pooley Bridge is a commodious inn, from whence the road
may be taken by Dalemain to Penrith. Parties taking up their
quarters for a few days at Pooley Bridge, may visit Hawes Water,
and Lowther Castle, the magnificent seat of the Earl of Lonsdale,
most conveniently from thence.

KESWICK
Having by different roads conducted the several parties to
Keswick, it must be made head quarters for a while, to examine
the curiosities of the place - to enjoy the rich scenery in its
neighbourhood - and to make excursions, some of a few hours, some
of a day, and others perhaps of more than one day.
