Old Coach Road
An old route, marked on maps as "Old Coach Road" crosses the northeastern slopes of Clough Head, reaching a high point of 437 m (1,435 ft) as it crosses from St John's in the Vale to Matterdale. This has suffered damage from use by off-road vehicles in recent years, but such activity is currently prohibited. Near the road summit is Hause Well, a spring issuing from a crevice in the rock.

Famous quotes containing the words coach and/or road:
“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Sir, let me tell you, the noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
