Number 31. Barrow House, formerly the property of Joseph Pocklington, Esq. commands a fine view of Skiddaw, with Derwent Water; the cascade is at the back of the house, and the view here presented is from the dining room. In every cascade there is a particular quantity of water which is more pleasant to the eye than any other quantity; and those who may view the one at Barrow, under favourable circumstances, will, it is trusted, be highly gratified; and be ready to pronounce the most charming picture of its kind among the mountains. The course of the water has been diverted from its original channel, by Mr. Pocklington; who had previously excavated the rock, and who has given the whole to the public eye in its present beauty. - There are four place between the bottom and top of the fall, from which it may be seen, the access to which is easy. A little building near the top of the fall, in which there are seats, commands a splendid view of Derwent Water, over the tops of the trees.
