In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Low Wood like this:
LOW WOOD, a large inn on the W border of Westmoreland; on the shore of Windermere, 2 miles SSE of Ambleside. It forms a fine centre to tourists; and it was extensively enlarged and improved in 1858-9.
Low Wood 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 Low Wood itself, go to Statistics.
