OVER BECK BRIDGE, IN WASTDALE. The bridge on Over Beck is about twenty yards from the lake, and a mile from its head; a farm called Bowderdale, the only enclosed land on either side of the water, has for its boundaries on three sides, the lake, with Over Beck and Nether Beck: Bowderdale between these streams is about half a mile over. On the north of Over Beck, in a fine line rises the mountain Yew-barrow, which is the back-ground to the bridge, the bridge may likewise be so viewed as to have Gable or Scho-fell as distances. |
