called Mill Beck. The woods skirting the banks will be- 

 found shady and pleasant, and the wanderer may find that 

 ferns are abundant. He may then cross a little wooden 

 bridge a little higher up the stream, and climb the steep 

 bank opposite, slanting to the left. At the top there is a 

 gate in the wall leading on to the fell : the path to the left 

 will lead to the ^Knotts as before described, from whence 

 he riiay easily find the hotel. 



UNDER RANNERDALE KNOTT. 

 (Three miles. ) 



About three-quarters of a mile from the village, in the 

 direction of Crummock Water, the main road begins to run 

 along the shore of the lake. At this point an old grassy 

 cart-road will be found diverging to higher ground on the 

 right. This grassy track was formerly the main road, and 

 must have sorely taxed the strength of the horses ; it has, 

 however, the advantage of commanding finer views of the 

 lake than the present one, and that is what the visitor now 

 comes for. In about three-quarters of a mile it again joins 

 the carriage road at Hause Point. 



SCALE FORCE. 

 (4 miles, there and back. ) 



This fall is almost invariably visited by the numerous 

 tourists who make a day's excursion to Buttermere from 

 Keswick. We have therefore described it at page 248, 

 to which we refer the sojourner at our present head-.
