Excerpt from Lancashire IT has been said, by one not prone to indulge in superlatives, that there are not, perhaps, in the king dom, two mountains more thoroughly pleasing to the eye than the Lancashire fells of the Old Man and Wetherlam. The same writer, in another place, has ventured the Opinion that of all the monastic ruins in Great Britain there is none which combines extent and beauty of detail to a greater degree than Furness. It was a river scene close to the Lancashire border that Ruskin - noting the wonderful com bination in it of moorland, hill, and Sweet river, and English forest-foliage - described as one of the loveliest in England, and therefore in the world; and it was in Lancashire, we may remember, that Ruskin found his own beautiful home, of which he wrote himself, on the occasion of his first visit in 1871 I think it gives the finest View I know in Cumberland or Lancashire.
