the pass, the traveller leaves the Troutbeck road to the left, 

 and descends rapidly upon Ambleside. On the left is the 

 valley of the Stock, whose waters are concealed by wood. 

 Below, Winandermere opens more and more ; and at length 

 the little town of .^^mbksftie appears, nestling at the foot of 

 Wansfell. The particulars of this route are given in the 

 Windermere Section.

 the first turn to his left, which will bring him into the Trout- 

 beck valley, and then on to Kirkstone and so home. This 

 would add three miles to the drive.
