6. Beautiful Lake Grasmere
Beautiful Lake Grasmere
Description
What a glorious picture this would make in colors! Let one who had the privilege of observing this region in autumn describe such a view as he saw it: “The beauty of the scene lies in Nature’s harmonious blending, and one feels that only the poet’s imagery could describe it. The mountain is perfectly pictured in two-thirds the width of Grasmere — so clear, so perfect is the counterfeit that even the charming mystery of height remains. The summit curving against autumnal blue, the purple crags, the screes, here grey, there blue, there a finer tinge where rock, grass, and heather meet, the turgid flood of color where the bracken is dying, the solid free of the larch woods, the softer plumes of birch, the fiery oaks, the fading green meadows, are all in this peaceful mirror.”
7. Kirkstone Pass and Lake Windermere
Kirkstone Pass and Lake Windermere
Description
Setting out in a northerly direction for the village of Patterdale and Lake Ulster, the trailer would surely climb Kirkstone Pass, 1500 feet in height. Looking back, he would have this view of the territory over which he had come, with a last glimpse of Lake Windermere in the distance.
8. Patterdale Church and Old Yew Tree
Patterdale Church and Old Yew Tree
Description
The traveler going on northward five or six miles to Patterdale would see this old church and tree. If he desired the finest view of Ulswater Lake, he would not tarry long in the village, but would push on up the higher of two paths on Place Fell, or as we would say, “Place Mountain, or Hill.”
9. Stybarrow Crag, Ulswater Lake
Stybarrow Crag, Ulswater Lake
Description
"Going by boat northward on Ulswater Lake, skirting the shore, one would feel the coolness of nearing woodlands. The western shore steepens until it becomes precipitous, and lofty Stybarrow Crag appears, as in this picture, with slender oaks clinging wherever they have found enough soil and ledge to gain a hold."
