Lodore Falls is a waterfall, and it is located in Cumbria, England. It dates back to the Victorian times, and it really gained popularity when it was written about by poet Robert Southey. It is also written about in "Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, a Poem" by Anna Letitia Barbauld.  The poem focuses on criticism towards Britain and imperialism. In once section, Barbauld comments on a few natural beauties of England, Lodore Falls being one of them; however, she then comments on Britain's glories, insinuating that they are now much more faded as it faces a new reality that involves ruin.
