 and a-half long, and five-eighths of a mile at its widest points. 

 It is closely hemmed in by mountains east and west, Mell- 

 break (1676) rising very steeply and occupying nearly the 

 whole of the western shore. The Vale of Newlands opens 

 northward in the direction of Cockermouth, and then, further

 islands, two of which, called Woodhouse, are bare rocks ;

 fine day is a charming excursion. The boat may be left at 

 the northern point for luncheon at the Scale Hill Hotel ; and 

 a visit to the Station in Lanthwaite Wood will be found a 

 pleasing variety.

The path commences on the left side of the Fish Hotel 

 After two fields, the beck which connects the lakes must
