Text Appearing Before Image:
ust three miles long, and its very regular shoressomewhat detract from the prettiness of its scenery.But the wild character of the hills that inclose itgives it a grandeur that is not possessed to an equalextent by any of the other lakes in the country.Its direction is north-east and south-west; UpperWastdale is at its northern end. The road up thevalley from Strands runs close to the lake along itsnorth-western side, and is good enough for drivingor bicycling as far as Wastdale Head. There itterminates as a driving-road, but paths lead to thenorth over the Black Sail Pass and eastwards overthe Styhead. As we walk up the road, Buckbarrowtowers in steep crags a mile away to the left ; thenon the same side we skirt the gent)er slopes ofMiddle Fell, and after crossing Nether Beck, Yew-barrow exhibits a singular change of outline, fromthat of a steep and narrow pyramid to a long level-topped grassy ridge with no architectural pretensionswhatever.

For alength of three miles the ridge is broken away in aline of cliff of almost uniform height, towering1,500 feet over the lake. The character of the rock,and perhaps also an unusually great exposure toweathering influences, has caused an enormous wearand tear of the face of the cliff. Thus it is thathuge screes have been formed that flow straightdown into the lake. The action is still going on.If we take a walk along the edge of the cliff, andthis way of enjoying the round of Wastwater may bestrongly recommended to tourists, we cannot helpnoticing that at the heads of the big gullies whichindicate the regions of maximum erosion, slightpreliminary landslips have already occurred. Thegrassy ridge is marked in many places by curvedterraces, showing definite subsidence and takingthe general shape of the gully he
