In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Easedale like this:
EASDALE, a mountain vale on the west border of Westmoreland; descending from High Raise, on the boundary with Cumberland, 3½ miles south-eastward to the head of Grasmere. It is traversed by a streamlet called Eas-gill; it contains a mountain lakelet, called Easdale tarn; it includes also the foaming cataract, called Sour-Milk force; and it commands, in its lower part, a charming view over Grasmere to Loughrigg.
Easedale is now part of WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how WESTMORLAND AND FURNESS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Easedale itself, go to Statistics.
