Ullswater

Ullswater, after Windermere the largest of the English 'Lakes,' between the counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, $5\backslash frac\{1\}\{2\}$ miles SW. of Penrith and 11 ESE. of Keswick. Lying 477 feet above sea-level, it is 9 miles long, $\backslash frac\{1\}\{4\}$ to $\backslash frac\{3\}\{4\}$ mile broad, and 218 feet in maximum depth. It is divided into three reaches, which increase in beauty and grandeur as one goes up it from Pooley Bridge to Patterdale, a chief feature of the landscape being the lofty mountain Helvellyn (q.v., 3118 feet), which rises from the south-west extremity of the lake.
