[Sidenote: Sparke.]
foorth by Nibthwaits, Blareth, Cowlton, & Sparke bridge, and so into
the sea. Hauing passed the Leuen or Conisands, or Conistonesands, or
[Sidenote: Lew.]
Winander fall (for all is one) I come to the Lew, which riseth at
[Sidenote: Rawther.]
Cewike chappell, and falleth into the sea beside Plumpton. The Rawther
descending out of low Furnesse, hath two heads, whereof one commeth
from Penniton, the other by Vlmerstone abbeie, and ioining both in one
chanell, they hasten into the sea, whither all waters direct their
voiage. Then come we to another rill southwest of Aldingham,
descending by Glaiston castell; and likewise the fourth that riseth
néere Lindell, and running by Dawlton castell and Furnesse abbeie, not
farre from the Barrow head, it falleth into the sea ouer against
Waueie and Waueie chappell, except mine aduertisements misleade me.
[Sidenote: Dodon.]
The Dodon, which from the head is bound vnto Cumberland and
Westmerland, commeth from the Shire stone hill bottome, and going by
Blackehill, Southwake, S. Iohns, Vffaie parke, & Broughton, it falleth
into the orltwater, betwéene Kirbie, and Mallum castell. And thus are
we now come vnto the Rauenglasse point, and well entred into the
Cumberland countie.
Comming to Rauenglasse, I find hard by the towne a water comming from
two heads, and both of them in lakes or pooles, whereof one issueth
[Sidenote: Denocke.]
out of Denocke or Deuenocke méere, and is called Denocke water, the
[Sidenote: Eske.]
other named Eske from Eske poole which runneth by Eskedale, Dalegarth,
and soone after meeting with the Denocke, betwéene Mawburthwate and
Rauenglasse, falleth into the sea. On the other side of Rauenglasse
[Sidenote: Mite.]
also commeth the Mite brooke, from Miterdale as I read. Then find we
another which commeth from the hils, and at the first is forked, but
soone after making a lake, they gather againe into a smaller chanell:
[Sidenote: Brenge.]
finallie meeting with the Brenge, they fall into the sea at Carleton
[Sidenote: Cander.]
southeast, as I wéene of Drig. The Cander, or (as Leland nameth it)
the Calder, commeth out of Copeland forrest, by Cander, Sellefield,
and so into the sea. Then come we to Euer water, descending out of a
poole aboue Coswaldhow, and thence going by Euerdale, it crosseth a
water from Arladon, and after procéedeth to Egremond, S. Iohns, and
taking in another rill from Hide, it is not long yer it méeteth with
the sea.
