8 WINDERMERE TO BOWNESS. 



direction of Ambleside. We shall now conduct him 

 in the opposite direction, towards Bowness. Pas- 

 sing down High Street and St. 

 Mary's Road, we see, to the right, 

 the College ; then Fairhaven, on the left ; and a 

 little further on, on a gentle elevation, the neat 

 villa and grounds of Ellerthwaite. Half a mile 

 further on is the Hydropathic establishment,' 35 ' and 

 then, to the right, the cottage of Mylnbeck, a 

 common house in its aspect towards the road, but 

 as seen over the wall, very pretty in its garden- 

 front. The next gate on the left is the entrance 

 to the Craig : and the villa on the right is Craig 

 Foot, both built by Admiral Sir Thos. S. Pasley. 

 Below this, the houses begin to thicken about the 

 entrance to Bowness. Among them, a road to the 

 left leads to one of the most charming points of 

 view in the neighbourhood, — a hill named Bisket 

 How, crested with rock, which affords as fine a 

 station as the summit of Elleray for a view of 

 the entire lake and its shores. 



Tourists who have only limited time at com- 

 mand will not remain at Windermere : but, for

at least a lew days. There are pleasant 

 walks, with fine views of the lake and mountains, 

 in every direction ; and there are one or two dis- 

 tant excursions which are more easily made from 

 this point than any other, — the ascent of 111 Bell 



* A gate may be observed just before reaching this point, which 

 is the entrance to footpaths leading over the higher ground in 

 the direction of the Kailway station, and affording a pleasant 

 walk, and fine views of the lake and its surroundings.
