12 OF THE WATERS. 



annually rears up its young, making the rocks and water echo 

 on the approach of danger with a hadh fonorous note, fome- 

 v/hat refembling that of a goofe. Between the brink of the 

 rocks, at the top, and the Roman wall, is a broad grafs-terrace, 

 from which, in looking down the flcep, and upon the water, 

 our minds are on a fudden filled with a reverential awe, and we 

 are naturally led to think of our great Creator, cfpecially in a 

 Hill fummer's evening, when the clouds are imaged by the 

 water, representing caftles, cities, groves, and forefts, and thefe 

 fpired rocks, with their vegetable ornaments, in mofl wonder- 

 ful grandeur and magnificence. 



Greenky-Lake, fo called from its lying at the foot of a fine green 

 Hope, is a mile and a half long, and about a quarter of a mile 

 over in the broadeft part, towards the middle. The bottom is of 

 white fand and pebbles ; the fouth-weft end adorned with the 

 double white, and the yellow, water-lily ; an abundance of reeds 

 and rufhes by them crofs the lake. That beautiful falcon, the 

 bald buzzard, called by our mepherds, the baftard- eagle, breeds 

 annually on the mofles near it. It is partly in view from the ter- 

 race above Crag-Lake. A boat was formerly kept in it for the 

 pleafures of angling by its late owner, Sir Edivard Blacket, of 

 Hexham, Baronet. 



Little Corv Lake, fo called from its fmallnefs and the cows 

 drinking in it, and cooling their limbs among the weeds on its 

 fides in fultry weather, is on the fouth fide of Greenley-Lake> to 

 which it is a fort of an appendage ; there being a communication 

 between them by a fmall current at the eaft end ; a ridge of moor 

 parting them, on which is a cottage, affording a view of both. 

 It is a mile north-weft from the Roman ftation of Hoitfe-Jleeds.
