Westmorland
Westmorland is an historic county of England. (For more information about the ancient counties of the UK, see the historic counties page and the place types page.)
From The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, (1870-72):
An inland county; bounded, on the NW and the N, by Cumberland; on the NE, by Durham; on the E and the SE, by Yorkshire; on the S and the SW, by Lancashire.
Much of the scenery is romantic or picturesque; and that in the W forms a main part of the features of the English lake region.
Quotes:
"Here we entered Westmorland, a country eminent only for being the wildest, most barren and frightful of any that I have passed over in England, or even in Wales itself..."
-- Coasting
