Sour Milk Gill
|
|
|
SOUR-MILK GILL is a name applied to some mountain torrents, on
account of their frothy whiteness resembling Butter-milk from the
churn. We have Sour-milk Gill near Buttermere, Sour-milk Gill in
Grasmere, and Sour-milk Gill near the Black-lead Mine in
Borrowdale.
The above enumerated are some of the most noted of the falls: but
tracing the mountain streams into their deep recesses, they
present an inexhaustible variety: smaller indeed, but frequently
of very interesting features.

Their magnitude imparts a sublimity to the scenery, without
overcharging the picture with any disproportionate objects. The
rocks and ravines on their sides convey some knowledge of the
materials whereof they are composed; and, by their variety of
soil and elevation of surface, they are adapted to the production
of different kinds of vegetables.
