[C] AMBLESIDE is seated on the decline of a hill, at the extremity of
the romantic lake Winandermere, of which a branch passes through the
town. It is held by Horsley, to be the site of the Roman Dictus. It is
scarcely in the power of language to do justice to the romantic beauties
of this neighbourhood; perhaps the most beautiful scenery in England, is
to be found in its vicinity. Here is an extensive manufactory of woollen
cloth.
_Market_, Wednesday.--_Fairs_, Wednesday after Whit-Sunday, for
horned cattle October 29, ditto and sheep--_Mail_ arrives 9-1/2 A.M.,
departs 7 A.M.
[Sidenote: Site of the Roman Dictus.]
