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.
