EDEN. 117 



At Grassingham is an ancient camp, with an elevated castel- 

 lum; perhaps Roman. Below Hornby Castle, Wenning, a 

 stream from the south-eastern slopes of Ingleborough and the 

 north side of Bolland Forest, enters the Lune. The Wenning 

 has a less picturesque course than the Greta ; but its northern 

 branches penetrate into very rocky glens above Clapham and 

 Austwick, in the former of which is Ingleborough Cave (p. 29). 

 The north ridge of Bolland is marked by many conspicuous 

 stones, among which the ' Great Stone of Four Stones ' is 

 chief. 



The course of the Lune by Caton to Lancaster is very pleasing, 

 and, with Ingleborough for the background, makes several good 

 scenes for the painter. Lancaster Castle is also a fine object. 

 The mouth of the Lune is commonly thought to be the Setan- 

 tiorum Portus of Ptolemy. The name of this tribe may perhaps 

 be retained in Sedbergh and Settle ; Morecambe Bay is clearly the 

 Morecambii Sinus the ' Mor Cam/ the Crooked Sea, of the 

 British tribes. 



THE EDEN. 



EDEN (Ituna) gathers no tribute from Yorkshire, but its 

 origin is conterminous with a branch of the Swale near Lady's 

 Pillar ; and Mallerstang, in which its collected waters run their 

 deeply-shaded course, is a glen continuous with Cotterdale and 

 Hellbeck Lund, which is the terminal valley of the Ure. Quit- 

 ting the wild scene described by Camden around the source of 

 the Ure, Eden touches the mound of old Pendragon Castle, 

 passes the rocky floors of Stenkrith Bridge and Kirkby Stephen, 

 and, from near Brough (Verterse), turns to Appleby (perhaps 

 Aballaba), Kirkby Thore (Brovonacae), and Carlisle (Luguval- 

 lium), where we must bid adieu to this the principal river of 

 Cumberland.
