Description:In the summer of 1774 three young men from Somerset embarked on a tour of England and part of Scotland which included a ten-day visit to Cumbria.

They then headed west via Cockermouth to industrial west Cumberland, travelling up the Irish Sea coast from Carlisle on their way to Scotland.Hobhouse's journal of the tour includes accounts of their excursions to view the splendours of the Lake District - including boat trips on Derwent Water and Ullswater and an ascent of Skiddaw - but it also contains descriptions of the industrial 'curiosities' of the west Cumberland coalfield, the highlight of which was a subterranean tour of the colliery at Whitehaven.
