inns, at this village, his resting-place, 

 and get his dinner there. He will then see Scale 

 Force, (p. 127), reaching it either by boat, or by 

 walking round the head of Crummock Water. The 

 way to Ennerdale is nearly due west from Scale 

 Force. It is described (reversed) at p. 174. The 

 boggy ground on the right is a noted place for 

 cranberries ; and if the stranger happens to come 

 this way in August or September he will probably 

 find many persons busily engaged iu gathering 

 them; at all other times the place is wild and 

 desolate. 



Soon after passing Floutern Tarn, Ennerdale 

 Lake comes into view. The white house by its side, 

 nestling among trees, is the Angler's 

 inn ; and there the traveller may find 

 comfortable quarters for the night.

BOEEOWDALE. 



This day's journey is about sixteen miles ; and in 

 the course of it the traveller will have the oppor- 

 tunity of enjoying some of the finest scenery in 

 the District. His way lies through wild and un- 

 frequented parts, and he will pass no inns. He 

 will, therefore, do well to supply himself with pro- 

 visions before starting. 



There are boats at the inn ; so, if the stranger is 

 disposed to save himself the first three miles, his 

 host will row him to the head of the lake. For a 

 description of Ennerdale and the valley of the Liza,
