Cockermouth - two rivers
The confluence of the River Cocker, flowing
out of Crummock Water, and the Derwent, flowing out of Bassenthwaite
Lake, is found down Brewery Lane just outside the town. The
River Derwent, which runs into the Irish Sea at Workington,
is famed for its salmon fishing. The tower of the Jennings
Brewery can be seen upstream – Jennings have been brewers
in the town since 1874, obtaining all their water for the brewing
process deep from a well within the grounds of Cockermouth
Castle.
