		Southey, another lake poet, less famous than Wordsworth, ...
		He tells how the waters come down at Lodore, the waterfall at the head of the lake:-
		"Retreating and beating and meeting and sheeting,
		Delaying and straying and playing and spraying,
		Advancing and prancing and glancing and dancing,
		Recoiling, turmoiling, and toiling and boiling,
		And dashing and flashing and splashing and clashing
		And so, never ending, but always descending.
		Sounds and motions for ever and ever are blending
		All at once and all o'er, with a mighty uproar,
		And this way the water comes down at Lodore."

		... the traveller begins to listen for the fall of Lodore, ... To visit the fall, the way is through the gay little garden [of the Lodore Hotel], and the orchard, (where the fish-preserves are terrible temptations to waste of time) and over a foot bridge, and up into the wood, where the path leads to the front of the mighty chasm. It is the chasm, with its mass of boulders and its magnificent flanking towers of rock, that makes the impressiveness of the Lodore fall, more than the water. No supply short of a full river or capacious lake could correct the disproportion between the channel and the flood. After the most copious rains, the spectacle is of a multitude of little falls, and nowhere of a sheet or bold shoot of

		water. The noise is prodigious, as the readers of Southey's description are aware: and the accessaries are magnificent. Gowder Crag on the left, and Shepherd's Crag on the right, shine in the sun or frown in gloom like no other rocks about any of the falls of the district; and vegetation flourishes every where, from the pendulous shrubs in the fissures, 200 feet overhead, to the wild flowers underfoot in the wood. On a lustrous summer evening, when the lights are radiant, and the shadows sharp and deep, the scene is incomparable, whatever may be the state of the water. When the stream is fullest, and the wind is favourable, it is said the fall is heard a distance of four miles. ...

		... the far-famed Lowdore possesses irresistible claims on the notice of the wanderer. This Force, after incessant rains, is with its accompaniments sublime, but unfortunately, perhaps, for those who visit the Lakes, few have the opportunity of seeing it at such a time. The chasm through which the river passes is immense, and in dry seasons the stones or fragments of rock subdivide and obscure its waters. ...

		Lowdore Inn.- Close to the inn, in the ravine betwixt Gowdar Crag and Shepherd's Crag, is the fall of Lowdore, so whimsically described by Southey. In dry weather, the water almost disappears amongst the jumbled pile of rocks, over which, when full, it rushes with tremendous impetuosity and force.

		LOWDORE CASCADE constitutes one of the most magnificent scenes of its kind among the lakes. It is not a perpendicular fall, but a foaming cataract; the water rushing impetuously from a height of 360 feet, and bounding over and among the large blocks of stone with which the channel is filled; so that when the river is full, it is a striking object at three miles distance. To the left, the perpendicular Gowder Crag, near five hundred feet high, towers proudly pre-eminent; while from the fissures of Shepherd's Crag on the right, the oak, ash, birch, holly, and wild rose, hang in wanton luxuriance. From the foot of the fall, where it is usually seen, more than half its height lies beyond the limits of the view, and in dry seasons there is a deficiency of water; yet its splendid accompaniments of wood and rock render it at all times an object deserving the notice of tourists.
		Winding round Shepherd's Crag towards the top of the fall, and looking between two finely wooded side screens, through the chasm in which the water is precipitated, a part of Derwent lake with its islands, beyond it the vale of Keswick, ornamented with white buildings, and the whole surmounted by the lofty Skiddaw - forms a picture in its kind scarcely to be equalled.

		By this time we had approached the head of the lake; and could now distinguish the full sound of the fall of Lodoar; which had before reached our ears, as the wind suffered, indistinctly in broken notes.
		vol.1 p.191
		This water-fall is a noble object, both in itself, and as an ornament of the lake. It appears more as an object connected with the lake, as we approach by water. By land, we see it over a promontory of low ground, which, in some degree, hides it's grandeur. At the distance of a mile, it begins to appear with dignity.
		But of whatever advantage the fall of Lodoar may be as a piece of distant scenery, it's effect is very noble, when examined on the spot. As a single object, it wants no accompaniments of offskip; which would rather injure, than assist it. They would disturb it's simplicity, and repose. The greatness of it's parts affords scenery enough. Some instruments please in concert: others we wish to hear alone.
		The stream falls through a chasm between two towering perpendicular rocks. The intermediate part, broken into large fragments, forms the rough bed of the cascade. Some of these fragments stretching out in shelves, hold a depth of soil sufficient for large trees. Among these broken rocks the stream finds it's way through a fall of at least an hundred feet; and in heavy rains, the water is every way suited to the grandeur of the scene. Rocks and
		vol.1 p.192
		water in opposition can hardly produce a more animated strife. The ground at the bottom is also very much broken, and over-grown with trees, and thickets;amongst which the water is swallowed up into an abyss; and at length finds it's way, through deep channels, into the lake. We dismounted, and got as near as we could: but were not able to approach so near, as to look into the woody chasm, which receives the fall.

Betwixt these, an awful chasm is formed, through which the waters of Watanlath are hurled. This is the Niagara of the lake, the renowned cataract of Lowdore [1]. To see this, ascend to an opening in the grove, directly over the mill. It is the misfortune of this celebrated water-fall to fail entirely in a dry season. ...
		[1] I do not know that the height of this cataract has been ascertained, but when viewing it, the reader may like to have it recalled to his mind, that Carver says, the fall of Niagara does not exceed 140 feet.

		... we turned aside into a coppice, ascending a little in front of Lowdore water-fall: the height appeared to be about 200 feet, the quantity of water not great, though (these three days excepted) it hath rained daily for near two months before; but then the stream was nobly broken, leaping from rock to rock, and foaming with fury. On one side a towering crag, that spired up to equal, if not overtop, the neighbouring cliffs (this lay all in shade and darkness) on the other hand a rounder, broader, projecting hill shagged with wood, and illuminated by the sun, which glanced sideways on the upper part of the cataract. The force of the water wearing a deep channel in the ground, hurries away to join the lake. ...

		... These [Stockghyll Force and High Fall, Rydal], when I saw them, were in full torrent; whereas Lowdore water-fall, which I visited in the evening of the very same day, was almost without a stream. Hence I conclude that this distinguished feature in the vale of Keswick, is like most of the northern rivers, only in high beauty during bad weather.

'tis giant Skiddaw's groan, / I hear terrific Lowdore roar; / The sabbath of thy reign is o'er, / The anarchy's begun; / Father of light! return; break forth, refulgent sun!

		Lodore fall in spate, between Gowder Crag and Brund Fell; with descriptive text:-
		LOWDORE WATERFALL
		IS generally esteemed one of the most striking Objects of the Kind in this country; its Accompanyments are uncommonly picturesque and grand. These indeed compose of themselves a Scene which cannot but interest the Spectator, even when the Fall of the Water, which depends upon the State of the Weather, is inconsiderable. The stupendous Craggs between which the Torrent precipitates itself broken into the boldest Forms, are shagged with Trees hanging every where in the most fantastic Shapes, from the Fissures of the Rock. The Height of the Fall itself Mr. Gray conjectures to be about two Hundred Feet. At some Distance above the Fall the Stream proceeds from a Lake about a Mile in Circumference. To this sequestered Spot Travellers are seldom conducted, though they might perhaps think themselves amply recompensed for their Trouble, by a Sight of the various romantic Circumstances which occur in this Excursion: The Lake and Village near it are called Wawtenleth. The Point from whence this View is taken is a little to the Right of the Road leading from Keswick into Borrowdale, near the Side of the Derwentwater, where it forms a small Bay. As these Engravings are offered to the Public as faithful Representations of Nature, it may not be improper to observe that the Permanency of the Resemblance is liable to be affected by the frequent Fall of Timber and Coppice Wood which takes place on the Borders of these Lakes. An Allowance will of course be made for any Variation of this Kind which may appear between the Plate and the Original.
