Description Bowscale a township in Greystoke parish, Cumberland, on the river Caldew, under Souter Fell, 9 miles NE of Keswick. Acreage, 1262 ; population, 23. Part of the surface is mountainous, and bears the name of Bowscale Fell. An elevated lakelet here, called Bowscale Tarn, is fabled to contain two immortal fish, and Wordsworth, in his Feast of Brougham Castle, represents these as waiting on the shepherd Lord Clifford. Both the undying fish that swim In Bowscale tarn did wait on him; The pair were servants of his eye In their immortality.
