Historical County Map of Westmoreland
Broughton Castle and the Keep of Appleby Castle are just some of the scenes depicted on this beautiful cartographical reproduction of Thomas Moule's map of Westmoreland. An English county, 40 miles in length and 21 in breadth; bounded on the N.W. by Cumberland; on the W. and S by Lancashire; and on the E. by Yorkshire. It contains 26 parishes, eight market towns, and sends 4 members to parliament. The air is very sharp and cold; but healthy to those whose constitutions are able to bear it. It is a mountainous country, two of whose ridges cross the county. There are some valleys fruitful in corn and pastures; and the hills serve to feed a great number of sheep. The principal rivers are the Eden, the Ken, the Loan, the Eamon, the Tees, the Lowther, the Hunna, the Winster, the Lavennet-beck, and the Blinkernbeck........
