14 "'lEE'alks at "^Sfmbetmere* 



a mile), as may be supposed, for, through the second gate 

 just beyond the church, a pleasant shady path of about half- 

 a-mile, passing at its lower end a rocky stream with pic- 

 turesque falls, conducts us to the margin of the lake at 

 Xl^tUerpounti ^ag* Here boats are kept for hire, and 

 tourists will find it a convenient starting-point for many a 

 pleasant trip. There is here also a suitable place for bathing.^ 

 This is the widest part of Winandermere. The quiet 

 beauty of the bay, with numerous yachts at anchor, will be 

 an attraction to those who may prefer it to more frequented 

 landing-places. The trees on the right are the Calgarth 

 woods, planted by Bishop Watson. Skirting the lake, there 

 is a rough path leading along its margin to Calgarth. 



The return walk to the village should be by ^lElilIet ^rotn* 

 On reaching the high-way, turn to the left. Passing between 

 woods resounding with brawling streams, the road leads up 

 a steep ascent, the summit of which is called ^Etammertanfe* 

 Hence is seen what, in our opinion, is a view unsurpassed 

 for beauty in the whole of the Lake District. The entire 

 lake lies below, the white houses of Clappersgate being dis- 

 tinctly visible at the north end, with the Finsthwaite Tower 

 at the south : and the diversity of the frame-work of this 

 sheet of water is here most striking. The Calgarth woods 

 rising and falling, spreading and contracting below, with green 

 undulating meadows interposed, are a perfect treat to the eye : 



* From the suminit of the knoll, called Queefz Adelaidis Hill, that 

 rises above Millerground to the left of the path, and easily distinguished 

 by the flag-staff on the summit, the upper portions of the lake appear 

 to great advantage. From this point the view is, in some respects, 

 unique. Winandermere is seen at its greatest breadth and stretching 

 away grandly to the north. Looking across the bay in the foreground, 

 the graceful winding shore-line, with its numerous creeks and headlands 

 feathered with wood to the water's edge, at once arrests the eye as a 

 feature decidedly characteristic of the * Queen of the Lakes.'
