The bridge crossing the Derwent at Grangeforms a pleasing object in the view; while the village itself, and the scattered residenceslying on the declivity of the hills, add greatly to the beauty of the prospect. The lake,diversified with islands, and circled by hills whose tops reach heaven, is hence seenunder an aspect peculiarly favourable to picturesque effect.

The poet Wilson has addressed apowerful sonnet to this mountain monarch. It was a dreadful day, when late I passdOer thy dim vastness, Skiddaw ! Mist and cloudEach subject Fell obscured, and rushing blastTo thee made darling music, wild and loud,Thou mountain monarch !.
