		mountain. It is probably the highest road ever formed in England, being 2700 feet above the level of the sea.- On account of its central situation between the vales of Patterdale, Martindale, Mardale, Kentmere, and Troutbeck, and being connected with others at a little distance; an annual meeting was formerly held here, when the shepherds of the several vales reciprocally communicated intelligence of such sheep as might have strayed beyond their proper bounds; and to enliven the meeting, races and other diversions were instituted; ale and cakes being supplied from the neighbouring villages.- Highstreet affords some good prospects; but being at a distance from any place of entertainment, it is seldom visited by strangers. Pedestrians fond of mountain rambles might, with a guide, pass over it from Patterdale into Troutbeck, or Kentmere; or into Mardale, and thence by Hawes Water to Bampton - from whence are roads to Pooley Bridge, Lowther, Penrith, and Shap.

		... There are the vestiges of a road, seemingly Roman, leading from Martindale to it [Barton]: this road, which appears now as a broad green path, goes over the top of a lofty mountain called, (for that reason I suppose,) the High-Street.
		On the 10th of July the neighbouring shepherds assemble here and hold a festival, during which there are horse-races, wrestling, and other such like country diversions: hither, likewise, every one brings stray sheep he has found during the preceding year, that they may be owned: they also at this time frequently amuse themselves with fox-hunting.
