such easy distance, it may be accomplished by all. The 

 way to it is to pass through a gate situated between the 

 school and the rectory, cross the wooden bridge, and by a 

 farm to the left, then scrambling up by a wall built of loose 

 stones, a few steps to the left again, will bring the tourist to 

 a ledge from which he will command one of the loveliest 

 views he will as yet have seen : at his feet is the lake reflec- 

 ting in its calm waters the beauties of the surrounding 

 scenery ; opposite, he will look into the Glenridding valley, 

 with its Greenside Smelting Works ; and to the left of this, 

 if he carries his eye upward he will just catch the summit 

 of Helvellyn. Turning to his left and following the wind- 

 ings of the pretty stream flowing through the valley, and 

 appropriately called Goldrill, he will discover Brothers' 

 Water, and further up, Kirkstone Pass, guarded by the Red 

 Screes on the right and Caudale Moor opposite. The 

 stranger will doubtless long linger over the enchanting scene 

 before him, and will take care to repeat his visit at sunset. 



The path which continues on past the quarries is the lake 

 route to ^j^iototoinn, a charming but rather rough walk of 

 six miles out. The return journey might be by steamer.

 (lo miles.) 

 The road to Ambleside passes the church and keeps along 

 the left side of Patterdale until just before Brothers' Water 

 is reached, when it crosses the stream to the right ; soon 

 after this the ascent of Kirkstone begins ; the rock which 

 marks the summit of the pass, and from which it takes its 

 name, may be seen for some distance. The hill on the left 

 is known as (STautale X^Eloor, while that to the right is called 

 jBieti Mtxzz&. At the highest inhabited house, at the top of
