Leaving the inn, we shall proceed up the dale. On the right
is Deepdale, which is terminated by a cove, a craggy and
gloomy abyss, with precipitous sides, the receptacle of the

Hartshope, a romantic village, through which flows the
stream from Hawes Water.

BROTHER WATER.
At Cowbridge is the outlet of this pretty sheet of water,
which is situated in a fertile vale, clothed with wood. On
its western side, near the head, stands the ancient and
lowly Hall of Hartshope. This water may be readily

fed by Kirkstone Beck, and that which rises under Dove Crag,
which issues from a cove richly decorated with native wood;
from this recess there is a view backwards on the gleaming
surface of Brother Water, and forwards to the precipitous
sides and lofty ridges of Dove Crag.
