Cockermouth
Cockermouth in het District Allerdale heeft zijn bestaan aan het rivierensysteem te danken. Het nabijgelegen
Romeinse kamp van Dervenitio lag aan het noordelijke einde van doorwaadbare plaats in de rivier Derwent,
die iets ten noorden van de huidige stad het oosten naar het westen stroomt. Hier was een belangrijk wegverbindingspunt t.b.v. mogelijke backups voor de Muur van Hadrian.
Echt bekend is Cckermouth vanwege het feit dat William Wordsworth hier geboren is en er de eerste jaren van zijn leven doorbracht op de school in Kirkgate [ nu de Church Hall ].
Maar Wordsworth is niet de enige bekende persoon uit deze omgeving. Zowel Fletcher Christian, de muiter van de Bounty, en John Dalton van de atoomtheorie kwamen uit dorpjes niet ver van Cockermouth.

Loweswater - Meer van Loweswater
Nestled in a wooded valley in the far west of the Lake District, in the Vale of Lorton, Loweswater is a
peaceful lake that is often bypassed. At approximately 1 mile in length, 1/2 mile wide and 60 feet deep, it provides an excellent lake circuit for walkers.
Loweswater is unique within the Lake District, as it is the only lake that drains towards the center of Lakeland
- to Crummock Water which it was once joined to. Red squirrels, whose favourite habitat is coniferous, can be found in the locality. The lake is owned by the National Trust.
