Lake District
The Lake District, also commonly known as The Lakes or (particularly as an adjective) Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous not only for its lakes, forests, and mountains (or fells), but also for its associations with the early nineteenth-century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the other Lake Poets.
Cataract of Lodore
"The Cataract of Lodore" is a poem written in 1820 by the English poet Robert Southey which describes the Lodore Falls on the Watendlath Beck just above Derwent Water in Cumbria, England. The poem is a masterpiece of onomatopoeia, employing some of the most clever and evocative language ever used to describe a natural feature. When seen in its entire form, the body of the poem does look like a waterfall.
Dock Tarn
Dock Tarn is a small tarn located within the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England at grid reference NY273143. It is situated on moorland at 400 metres above sea level near the summit of Great Crag, midway between Watendlath, the Stonethwaite valley and Borrowdale. It measures approximately 300 by 200 metres, and the shoreline is indented with rocky headlands and bays. There is a tiny island in the tarn with a few small Rowan trees growing on it.
Seathwaite, Allerdale
Seathwaite is a small hamlet in Borrowdale valley in the Lake District of Cumbria, North West England. It is located 13 kilometres southwest of Keswick at the end of a minor road that heads southwest from the hamlet of Seatoller, which is where the B5289 road begins its steep climb up the pass to Honister Hause on the boundary between Borrowdale civil parish and Buttermere civil parish.
Keskadale Beck
Keskadale Beck is a minor river of Cumbria, England. The beck rises at the confluence of High Hole Beck (which rises beneath Robinson Crags) and Moss Beck. From there, Keskadale Beck flows north east, picking up Dudmanscomb Gill (running north from Robinson). Ill Gill joins near Keskadale Farm. The beck joins Newlands Beck opposite Little Town.
Stonethwaite Beck
Stonethwaite Beck is a minor river in Cumbria, England. It is a tributary of the River Derwent. Stonethwaite Beck is formed at the confluence of Langstrath Beck and Greenup Gill beneath Eagle Crag, at Smithymire Island. It continues north west and north through the village of Stonethwaite and past Rosthwaite, flowing into the Derwent in Borrowdale.
Lodore Falls
Lodore Falls is a waterfall in Cumbria, England, close to Derwent Water and downstream from Watendlath. The falls are located on the beck that flows from Watendlath Tarn, and tumble more than 100 feet over a steep cascade into the Borrowdale Valley. Although it is spectacular in the rainy season,it can dry to a trickle in the summer. A famous onomatopoeic poem, Cataract of Lodore, written by Robert Southey in 1820, was inspired by the falls.
Bowder Stone
The Bowder Stone is a large glacial erratic in Borrowdale. Cumbria, England at grid reference NY25401639. It is estimated to weigh around 2000 tons and is about 30'(9m) high, 50'(15m) across and 90'(27m) in circumference. There is a staircase allowing visitors to climb to the top, and has been since at least 1890. Its name most likely comes from the Norse god Odin's son, Baldr.
