Lodore Falls near Keswick and the Poet Robert Southey
Somewhat disappointing according to Davies, particularly in summer when sprouting and frisking and swelling and sweeping waters are not exactly on the menu. Good scramble up wet rocks though, he adds.
Poet Southey who lived in nearby Keswick wrote the now renowned poem, Cataract of Lodore, in 1820. A stroll up to Lodore Falls makes a great family outing.
As if a war raging Its caverns and rocks among; Rising and leaping, Sinking and creeping, Swelling and sweeping, Showering and springing, Flying and flinging, Writhing and ringing, Eddying and whisking, Spouting and frisking.
Not quite as frisky these days as it once was!!
