Kirkby Lonsdale is a fine river, and crossed by a lofty antique bridge; it is navigable at Lancaster, a little below which place it falls into the sea. |

Kent, River Sprint, River Mint, River Bela, River |
|||
|
The Kent rising in Kentmere, receives the Sprint
from Longsleddale, and the Mint from Bannisdale. It washes
the skirts of Kendal, and enters the sea near Milnthorp, where it
is joined by the Belo.
|
|||
|
Brathay, River Rothay, River Leven, River Crake, River |
|||
|
The becks of Great and Little Langdale combined form the
Brathay, and those of Grasmere the Rothay, which
unite in Windermere: after leaving which it is called the
Leven, and joins the Crake from Coniston upon the
sands below Penny Bridge.

Duddon, River
|
|||
|
The Duddon rises on the south of Bowfell and separates
Cumberland from Lancashire. Unretarded by any lake, it pursues
its course in a pretty transparent stream, and enters the sea on
the north of the Isle of Walney.
|
|||
|
Esk, River Irt, River Mite, River Bleng, River |
|||
|
The Esk, rising on the east of Scawfell, retains its name
till it enters the sea at Ravenglass; where the Irt from
Wasdale, and the Mite from Miterdale, join it upon the
sands. The Bleng, passing Gosforth, falls into the Irt
above Santon Bridge.

|
Liza Beck Liza, River Ehen, River Calder, River |
|||
|
The water flowing from the north side of Gable has a long
meandering stream down Ennerdale; it is called the Lisa
till it enters the lake; afterwards it is the Ehen till it
falls into the sea half way between Ravenglass and St. Bees.- The
Calder, rising in Copeland Forest, enters the sea near the
same place.
