On the north is seen the many headed valley-loop of Ullswater, and amongst its many feeders is seen high up in the dark brown mass the lakelet of Hayes Water, which is separated from the valley-loop of Kentmere, on the south by High Street, over which at a height of 2,500 ft. the Roman road was constructed, remains of which are still to be seen.
