character and grandeur of the scenery passed through, no less 

 enjoyable, and should on no account be omitted by the 

 tourist. As far as ^{teliniti^ ^ribge, (See pages 71 and 75) 

 the route is the same as in the last tour ; here the road to 

 Coniston is to be taken, ascending the hill above the bridge 

 on the right. When the traveller has surmounted the hill, the 

 first turn to the right will bring him to Col with Bridge, 

 which he will have seen immediately below. 

 . For those who like to combine a little walking with the 

 drive, it is a good plan to quit the carriage at Skelwith Bridge, 

 ordering it to await your arrival at Colwith Bridge. Turning 

 in at the first gate on the right on the Coniston road, a path 

 will be seen tending to the left, up the hill ; the one on the 

 right leads to ^feelbiitfj ^floret, which fall can be visited on 

 the way without retracing your steps, as there is a track above 

 the fall bringing you out into a meadow, which must be 

 crossed towards the gate in the left-side of it, and then follow 

 a path through the copse and past two farms. At the latter 

 farm, cross the cart-track leading up into the road, and take 

 the gate into the field, where there is a glorious view of the 

 mountains. The path crosses the field and descends by 

 zig-zags to Colwith Bridge, where you will find the carriage 

 awaiting your arrival. If the traveller wishes to have the 

 best view of the fall, he should go over the stone step-stile 

 on the left-hand just before crossing the bridge, and follow 

 the path through the copse and then by a grassy walk to the 

 right, which conducts to a rock facing the fall, where there 

 is a far better view than from the opposite bank. Little has 

 been said about ©"olbiit^i Korce, and it is overlooked by the 

 majority of tourists, but, when seen from this point, its leap 

 of seventy feet, with either bank covered with foliage, and 

 grey rocks appearing here and there, it forms one of the 

 most perfect pictures we know. It has this advantage also
