The hill over which it goes is not naked but well wooded, and has probably been so for many years.

Besides, it is not visible from Wordsworth's house, nor from the garden behind it.

This garden extends from the house to the river Derwent, from which it is separated by a wall, with a raised terraced walk on the inner side, and nearly on a level with the top.

I understand that this terrace was in existence in the poet's time....
Its direction is nearly due east and west; and looking eastward from it, there is a hill which bounds the view in that direction, and which fully corresponds to the description in 'The Prelude'.

It is from one and a half to two miles distant, of considerable height, is bare and destitute of trees, and has a road going directly over its summit, as seen from the terrace in Wordsworth's garden.
