Text Appearing Before Image: and a half down the valleyis a public-house, formerly the sign of the WoolPack, about 15 miles from Ambleside. On theleft hand, in travelling down the valley, there aretwo remarkable cascades. The first is seen from AMBLESIDE TO ESKDALE AND WASDALE, 109 the road; but the other, which lies beyond thechapel, requires a walk of more than half a mileto view it. From the hamlet of Bout, a dim trackleads over Burnmoor to Wasdale Head; but theroad should be kept nearly to Santon Bridge,when it turns off to the right, to the Strands atNether Wasdale; where th^re are two public-houses. After seeing Wast Water, parties onhorseback may go over Styhead, and throughBorrowdale, to Keswick; with a cart, it will benecessary to go by Gosforth to Calder Bridge;from thence by Ennerdale Bridge and Lamplughto Scale Hill, and thence either by Buttermere orLorton to Keswick. Sometimes this excursionhas been varied, by returning from Wasdale, byUlpha, to Broughton, and thence by Coniston toAmbleside. Wm$M!^ Text Appearing After Image: BRIDGE HOUSE, AMDLK-ilUi:.

Above thechapel is Rydal Mount, the residence of the poetWordsworth; and beyond the hall, the RydalWaterfalls. The next object is Rydal Water, withthe heronry upon one of its islands; and a littlefurther, the extensive slate quarry of Whitemoss.The road is then conducted to the margin ofGrasmere Water, and gives a good view of thatadmired vale.
