Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
CONISTON: THE OLD MAN.
Coniston Water is about five miles long and half a mile wide, and the village is about half a mile west of the north end. It is very beautifully situated, Yewdale Crags (seen on the right of the view) and the Old Man (2,633 feet high, seen on the left) rising almost from the outskirts. The lake views are very fine, and resemble Windermere rather than Ullswater or Derwentwater in general character. The Old Man is one of the most favourite mountain ascents in the Lake district, in spite of the disfigurements caused by mines and slate-quarries, which have made some of the old routes almost impracticable without a guide. There is a cairn on the top, from which the view is very fine, ranging from Coniston Water, almost at ones feet, to as far as Snowdon on clear days, while all the peaks of the Lake country are well in view.
