 There is an old copper-mine northward, and very near the 

 summit ; and beyond it, say a quarter of a mile altogether,

 In two miles the Goldscope Mine is reached, and then we 

 are soon out into the fair valley of Newlands, on to Portin-

 were by the Honister road, the descent might be down upon 

 Grange, in which case the conveyance might be despatched 

 from the former to the latter place. 



ROUND DERWENTWATER BY LAND. 

 (Ten miles. ) 



In one or other of the foregoing excursions, almost every 

 part of the road round Derwentwater has been described. 

 At page 237 we have spoken of the part by Barrow and 

 Lodore to ©range. At that village we turn northward for 

 the homeward journey, and at page 236, in the Catbells 

 excursion, the western side of the lake is noticed. This 

 latter portion of the drive is not so interesting as might be 

 expected, the ordinary road being a good deal shut in by 

 the woods through which it passes ; but if the tourist can
