ley. Just beyond, the road turns to the left, through an un- 

 dulating country of considerable beauty. We find a trace 

 of the rebellion of 1745 in the name of a lane called ^ Scotch 

 Gate ' (way). It was here that the fearful Highlanders were 

 looked for, on their march to Derby ; and here they might 

 have had all their own way, if they had come, for Sawrey 

 had no idea of showing fight. All the inhabitants, carrying 

 their valuables, hied away, and took refuge together in a soli- 

 tary building which was called * Cook's hoghouse.' The 

 view of Winandermere from the highest point is very fine. 



TO HAWKSHEAD AND CONISTON. 



VIA MILLERGROUND. * 



(8 Miles.) 



The pedestrian wishing to make a short cut and a most in- 

 teresting and diversified walk from AVindermere to Hawkshead 

 and Coniston, will find the route by Millerground Bay very 

 convenient. Having been rowed across the lake, he will see 

 iK a road almost close to the margin : this must be followed for 

 a short distance in a northerly direction : then the first turn to 

 the left must be taken, through Heald Wood, and, after a short 

 s% ascent, he will be gratified by, perhaps, the second-best view 

 I from a carriage-road in all the Lake District. Before him is 

 the lake, while ranging in majestic grandeur behind, are to 

 be seen the mountain tops from 111 Bell to the Old Man. 

 Such a prospect as this he will seldom behold; therefore, 

 let him stay a little and enjoy it; and, while he is doing 

 so we will point out the principal features of the land- 



* If to be done from Bowness, the road on the western side of the 

 lake will be reached by boat at a point south of Belle Grange. An 

 extra mile to the distance.
