More about this scene

The Borrowdale Hotel is in one of the wildest valleys of Lakeland. Early tourists were 'horrified' at the expanses of naked rock and impending mountains of places like Borrowdale, and feared to travel far into the dale, until poets like Wordsworth popularised the 'picturesque' mountain scenery.
