Black Force, Westmorland
Historical Description
Black Force, a cascade on Fell Head, Westmoreland, within the basin of the Lune, 6 miles SSW of Orton. It occurs at the head of a wild chasm approached from Borrow Bridge, and consists in the fall of a streamlet from such a giddy height as to be all reduced to spray before reaching the bottom.
