If the tourist desires (as it is to be hoped that he 

 does) J to see one of the primitive valleys of the 

 district. — one of those recesses lapped 

 m the mountains^ where the sounds of 

 civilized life have hardly penetrated, let him now 

 go to Watendlath, (locally called WathendalJ 

 and descend into Borrowdale by Rosthwaite. The 

 circuit is one of thirteen miles ; and it must be 

 accomplished on foot or horseback; for there is 

 no carriage-road in the upper part. So few pass 

 that way that the women aflPord a remarkable 

 specimen of the effects of a life of exclusive seclu- 

 sion. The men go to markets and sales, and have 

 more use of their tongues and wits accordingly. 

 The road along the lake side is followed till it gives 

 out a branch before reaching Barrow House. Up
