THE Mountainous District, in which the English Lakes are
situated, extends into three Counties, Cumberland, Westmorland,
and Lancashire, which form their junction at a point upon the
mountain Wrynose, near the road side. Lancashire is separated
from Cumberland by the river Duddon; from Westmorland by the
stream running through Little Langdale, and by Elterwater and
Windermere, until south of Storrs Hall; after which the river
Winster forms the boundary till it enters the sands
near Medup; and the latter county is parted from Cumberland
by the mountain ridge leading over Bowfell to Dunmail
Raise, from thence over the top of Helvellyn, and
through Glencoin
