No. 49.
GOLD-RILL CRAG, ON THE RIVER DUDDON.
The river Duddon divides Lancashire and Cumberland, from the
county stones on Wrynose, to its junction with the Irish
sea; consequently, the scene before us is in both counties.
-
This view is down the river; the left hand rock is in
Lancashire, and Goldrill Crag, which is on the right, is in
Cumberland.
The Lancashire side of this river, from Broughton to Cockley
Beck Bridge, which bridge is on the road from Ambleside to
Wastdale, is chiefly the township of Seathwaite, a district
deeply but charmingly entrenched among the mountains:
Cockley Beck Bridge is four miles above Seathwaite chapel,
and Goldrill Crag is half way between them.
