Butterlip How. Butterlip How, which is one of the most exquisite elavations of moderate height in Grasmere, is bounded on the north by the Raisbeck, and at the east by the road lying between the Red Lion and the Swan inns. At the north-east angle of the ground there is a bridge over the river Raisbeck, called White Bridge, and near it a gate opening to a foot road which passes over Butterlip How to Goody Bridge, and is joined by the horse road from the church to Easedale. The above foot road connecting the bridges is profuse in its charms, and may be taken on the favourable parts of broken days, in a round from either of the inns. The road is flat for a short distance, as it rises, the two branches of Easedale appear with the rocky mountains which grandly tower above them, but this scene is much improved by advancing a few yards up the hill, on the left of the road: there Colddale Fell, separates the Easedales, and the water fall in the southern Easedale, present an assemblage of objects, so refreshing to the eye, that few can part with without casting more than "one longing lingering look." The lower end of Helm Crag cuts off the cultivated part of Easedale, but the river may be observed winding among trees and adding to the fascinations of the scene. This will be found No. twenty-four of the small etchings. Helm Crag is here a good object, but on the scene just described its southern side only is required to perfect the composition. Here may be observed all the road from the Town End, with the many pretty farms aad cottages on each side of it up to the zig-zag road over the Raise, with Seat Sandal, Fairfield, Great Rigg, Stone Arthur, Green How, and all the mountain arrangement nearly to Nab Scar, the end of which may be seen rising above Town End and Hollin Grove. On the side of Seat Sandal are faint indications of the road from Grasmere to Patterdale. Ascending from this place to the crown of the hill, a most glorious panorama of the surrounding vale is gained. The lake, the church, and the neighbouring dwellings, with Loughrigg in a good finishing line, are here in such beauty, that the eye of Gray had been riveted to them, and surely the elegant but fastidious Gilpin had deigned a few words in praise of a dale so sweetly and so happily tranquilized. It was upon this or some other of the neighbouring eminences, that Hutchinson stood when he "viewed the whole circle, and was delighted with the situation"-" the fields were full of freshness and verdure, the scene was ornamented with a few humble cottages, dispersed on the borders of the lake, amongst which the sacred fane stood solemnly superior-the hills were here and there graced with a few trees, and animated with white flocks of sheep.-It seemed to be the vale of peace." Hollin Grove may here be plainly seen :the larch plantation over it looks like the waves of a troubled sea. Allan Bank, and some other buildings are hidden by trees. From the top of the crag above Mr. John Fleming's, the prospect towards Loughrigg is exquisite. Allan Bank, with its rocky and wooded background, is perhaps seen better hence, than in any other point of view. hill called the How, which is a little south of Butterlip How, was a first rate stand till it was overgrown with trees. A Allan Bank, the seat of — Crump, Esq., is not a quarter of a mile out of the road leading from the Red Lion inn to Easedale. From some places on the avenue to Allan Bank, Helm Crag, with the intermediate objects, is a pretty eyefull, if the expression may be allowed, and the lake, the church, and village, are in a masterly arrangement with the middle grounds. Allan Bank is at a short distance from a rocky cove, which extends from Hag's Head towards Silver How. Hag's Head, richly covered with trees, shelters a kitchen garden from the northern blast. Amongst the wooded precipices an enviable walk might be conducted, which would at once promote health and recreation. From Allan Bank, in every direction, the eye finds abundance of amusement, Seat Sandal, and all the lofty mountains south of it, are seen sublimely towering over the pretty undulating Butterlip and other eleva tions; but the lake, the church, the village, with the neighbouring seats and farms, appear in few instances objects of greater terrestrial beauty, than as seen from Allan Bank. Easedale. It has been before observed, that the foot road from the Swan into Easedale, meets the horse road from the Red Lion, near Goody Bridge, which is over Easedale Beck. Easedale is an arm of the vale of Grasmere: it is, in places, profusely wooded, and charmingly sequestered amonnst the mountains. A little beyond Goody Bridge, on the left, are a few picturesque houses likewise called Goody Bridge. Some stepping stones upon the river, with these buildings, and a beautifully wooded rock above them with Helm Crag, have made a composition, No. twenty-five of the large, and No. twenty-three of the small etching. The rocks called the Lion and the Lamb cannot be seen from this place. Having passed Goody Bridge, about a mile from the church, is Steel Bridge. This is an artist-like object, and the trees about it, with Helm Crag, (which here loses its rugged front), is a delicious little picture. Easedale Tarn. Steel Bridge conducts the traveller into a a flat meadow, where Sour Milk Gill, which proceeds from Easedale Tarn, is presented to his view, which next rests on a little stone bridge rudely constructed, but which the hand of relentless time has made interesting in decay, and a good subject for the pencil. Colddale Fell, with the water fall, is an admirable background to this bridge. This valley is charmingly picturesque, for in every direction, the eye and the heart must feel that animated pleasure which arises from the contemplation of uncontaminated nature. If to him who has known sickness-as Gray sings "The meanest floweret of the vale, How exquisite the treat which a valetudinarian must experience, while rejoicing in the first days of renovated health, he gazes on scenes like those just described! Blind Tarn Gill, on the left, is a house on the side of a stream issuing from Blind Tarn, a mossy flat lying at the feet of steep crags. Easedale and Bremer Head on the right, are enveloped in native trees. Beyond the meadows the water passes over a rugged. bed, and is occasionally agitated into beauty. All the accompaniments are wildly romantic. The road to the tarn leaves the river, but it meets it again in a still more fretful mood, being precipitated over a succession of rude rocks, which |
