lower end is tame accordingly : but it is only a mile 

 long, and the peaks congregate finely about its 

 head. The circuit of Lowes Water, (seven miles) 

 is a charming morning's walk. There is a pros- 

 perous look about the homesteads there, and a rich- 

 ness about the meadows which smacks of the level 

 country, which, in the shape of the Vale of Lorton, 

 is near at hand. On the road between Lowes 

 Water and the inn at Scale Hill, the great peaks 

 of the central group are all visible, from Grassmoor 

 to Great Gable, and from Scawfell round to Mel- 

 break ; while the prominent Rannerdale Knot pro- 

 jects into Crummock Lake in front ; and Honister 

 Crao* peeps over from behind. As the reader 

 knows, the whole group may be studied from Scale 

 Hill ; and to the utmost advantage from the Sta- 

 tion, (p. 128.) At Scale Hill Inn the travellers 

 may close in comfort tbe third day of their circuit.
