LEGBERTHWAITE, the vale of Thirlmere-water, in Cumberland; commencing immediately N of DunmailRaise, at the boundary with Westmoreland, and extending 4½ miles northward to the head of the vale of St. John. It is flanked, on the E, by Helvellyn, Whiteside, and Watson Dodd; on the W, by Dalehead Fell, Armboth Fells, and High Seat. Its scenery is mostly identical with that of Thirlmere-water; but includes, at the foot, a grand vista view northward, closed by Saddleback.
