Disrricr III 
This area differs widely from the two preceding. It is bounded on the south by the river 
Derwent, with the slight exception of the deviation mentioned by the inclusion in District I. 
of the Skiddaw, Helvellyn and Blencathra group of mountains: on the east or more strictly 
speaking south-east, the river Eamont, which is the dividing line between the counties of 
Cumberland and Westmorland from the foot of lake Ullswater to the point where it joins the 
river Eden near Langwathby, commonly pronounced ‘ Langanby.’ From this point the last 
mentioned river separates it from District IV. to its junction with the Solway Firth some ten 
miles below Carlisle. On the west or remaining side the firth constitutes the boundary to 
the mouth of the Derwent at Workington. ‘This is the largest of the divisions in point of 
area and importance, including as it does the bulk of what is known as the great plain of 
Cumberland. Here are no lofty mountain peaks, the highest point being the Beacon Hill near 
the town of Penrith, from which a gradually decreasing ridge constituting the summit level, 
which separates the valley of the Eden from that of its tributary stream the Petteril, extends 
in a northerly direction some nine or ten miles. The valleys of the Eden, Petteril, and 
Caldew, another and larger tributary of the Eden, which rises in Skiddaw Forest and joins the 
Eden at Carlisle, are mostly and in the two first mentioned streams exclusively on the New 
Red Sandstone formation. This sandstone is extensively quarried for building purposes at 
Penrith and Lazonby Fells, Cumwhinton, and Newbiggin near Wreay. Also at Lamonby, 
Blencowe on the Petteril, Powbeck, Hempsgill Howe and Shawk Quarries. Farther to the 
westward there are extensive workings of this material at Aspatria, Westnewton and Mary-
