village church, close by which there is the inevitable country- 

 ale-house, which will afford plain refreshment. This hamlet 

 is perched in a charming spot, commanding the best views up 

 Crummock Water and away to Great Gable. The road on 

 the western side of the church must be taken, and then, in 

 about a quarter of a mile, a sharp turn to the left, which 

 leads to the margin of Lowes Water and immediately under 

 the precipitous ^atltng J^^notts (1781) which is beautifully 

 wooded down to the margin of the lake. This wood extends 

 nearly the length of the lake (only a mile) and the cart-road 

 we have to traverse, which is mainly used for the convey- 

 ance of the timber, is not in the best repair; nor is the 

 view in front of the finest order ; but soon we get turned 

 the corner at Waterend * and reach a good carriage-drive 

 with the remarkable mountain-group of Carling Knott, Little 

 Dodd, and Mellbreak, close upon the opposite shore, and 

 gigantic Grasmoor in the distance. It is two miles and a 

 half hence to ^cale ^Ktll Hotel. 



This will be the best opportunity for visiting the Station, 

 an elevated spot in Lanthwaite Wood, whence a magnificent 

 view is obtained (page 252.) 



After a rest on the rocks and in the shady paths of this 

 wood, we cheerfully wend our way home under Grasmoor, 

 commanding grand views of the lake nearly the whole way.
