TO HOWTOWN AND BACK. 

 (12 miles.) 



There is another route to Howtown besides that men- 

 tioned at page 200, — over Place Fell and through ^otetJale, 

 The pedestrian must climb the hill-side at the farm near 

 Place Fell Quarries. The path is visible. When the top 

 of the Pass is reached, on looking back, he will have a fine 

 view of the Head of Ullswater and its surroundings. There 

 is no difficulty about the road through the valley, and 3fe)L0bJ= 

 toton will be reached after six miles of average hill work. 



There is choice of ways home, namely by steamer or by 

 the path along the shore. 



TO HAWESWATER AND BACK. 

 (4 miles of road and 1 6 of mountain.) 



Travellers have often wished to reach Haweswater on foot 

 without going round by Pooley Bridge. We will now attempt 

 to show how this can be done. On starting, the traveller must 

 take the path at Place Fell Quarries for Boredale, as in the last 

 excursion ; but, when the summit of the pass is reached, in- 

 stead of turning to the left towards Boredale, he must keep 

 straight on, making for an old gate-post which has evidently 

 been set up as a land-mark j passing this, he will see a good 

 track leading over the brow of the hill into X^s^ttmbak^ 

 At the foot of the hill is the Dalehead farm, after passing 

 through which he must strike across the fields to a wood on 

 the opposite side of the valley, diverging a little to the left 

 to cross the bridge. A gate will now be seen on the right, 

 leading into the wood or copse. Ascend diagonally through
