In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Mosedale like this:
MOSEDALE, a glen on the mutual border of Cumberland and Lancashire; forming the upper part of Seathwaite valley, along the river Duddon; descending south-south-westward, from the W side of Weatherlam; and flanked, on the right, by Greyfriars mountain,-on the left, by the Old Man of Coniston.
Mosedale is now part of CUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Mosedale itself, go to Statistics.
