Number 43. The remote mountain in this view is Eagle
Crag, where that voracious bird, the eagle, formerly built
its nest. There are now none in the north of England. The
last inhabited these rocks, and were destroyed about twenty
years ago. The river spanned by Stonethwaite Bridge, is that
branch of the Derwent which runs from the summit of the
Stake; the division of Langdale and Borrowdale, and of
Westmorland and Cumberland.
