Number 44. Askham Bridge is over the river Lowther, at the western extremity of the village of Askham, about six miles from Penrith. On the opposite side of the river, and not a quarter of a mile from the bridge, is Lowther Hall, the magnificent gothic Mansion of the Earl of Lonsdale; designed by the ingenious Mr. Smirke, Junr. The trees at Lowther, particularly those that lie towards Penrith, are sublime from their antiquity; and perhaps, as landscape studies, superior to most to be met with in this island. A gentleman of universally acknowledged taste, describes the river Lowther, ornamented by its trees, as exhibiting scenes of superior beauty, and highy worthy the attention of those who would profit by the study of landscape nature.
