Eden, a river rising in the east of Westmoreland, in the Pennine chain. It runs north-north-west through the east of Westmoreland and Cumberland, past Appleby and Carlisle, and ends in a fine estuary at the upper part of the Solway Firth, after a course of 65 miles. There is another Eden in Sussex and Kent, a third in Fife, and a fourth in Berwickshire.
