The road over Whinlatter presents some grand views of
Bassenthwaite and Derwent Water, Grisdale Pike keeping you
company on the right for some distance. On the top of the
road, Thornthwaite village and Jenkin Hill, flanked right
and left by Longside and Dodd, and Thornthwaite Fell, with
Bassenthwaite Water overtopped by Binsey, is the first
prospect that stops you. A little further on, Derwent Water,
with Vicar's Island, Lord's Island, the Isthmus, and
Keswick, are seen lying beneath Wallow Crag, Falcon Crag,
and Bleabury Fell; over which rise Skiddaw, Saddleback, Mell
Fell, Wanthwaite Crag, St. John's Dodd, Stybarrow Dodd,
Styx, and Helvellyn. The road proceeds through Braithwaite
to Keswick.
