Text Appearing Before Image: y made the district their chosen home.From the railway-stations of Carnforth or Oxenholmein the south of the district, or Penrith in the north,the holiday pilgrim may branch away into the regionof becks and ghills, meres and dales. If he be of thestalwart sort, he may take his baggage on his back,and on Shankss nag, spend a glorious fortnight ormonth of independence, tramping by fell and lakesidefrom dawn till dusk, exploring nooks rendered classicas the haunts of Wordsworth and Southey, Coleridge 77 London and North-Western Railway and De Quincey, Scott and Christopher North andAlfred Tennyson, and finding quarters at night invillage hostelries and lakeside inns. On the other hand,for less athletic folk, the district is so intersected bybranch lines of the railway, and there is so perfect aservice of steamers on the lakes, and coaches frompoint to point, that one may explore almost everycorner of the famous region without more exertionthan the stepping from one conveyance to another. Text Appearing After Image: Norman Keep, Carlisle Castle. The pilgrim eager to see the southern or Westmor-land lakes does well to branch off the main line of therailway at Carnforth. His route by the Furness Linecarries him past many places of great interest andcharm. To begin with, it winds away round thepleasant northern shores of Morecambe Bay, bySilverdale, with its rustic roads and shoreside pathsamong the lonely inlets, and by Arnside with its glimpse 78 The Lake District of far Helvellyn. Then it crosses the Kent, windingat ebb amid its sandy shoals, and passes Grange, theprettiest little watering-place between Wales andScotland, and, with Holker Hall, a seat of the Dukeof Devonshire, on the right, spans the wide estuaryof the Leven, which comes down from Windermere.Ulverston here has a ship-canal, said to be theshortest, straightest, deepest, and widest in GreatBritain, and Conishead Priory at hand, now a famoushydropathic, stands on the site of a religious housefounded in the time of Henry II.
