IRTHING (THE), a river of Northumberland and Cumberland. It rises in Spadeadam Moss, near the boundary with Scotland; runs, for some distance, southward, along the boundary between Cumberland and Northumberland; and proceeds, southwestward, within Cumberland, past Naworth-Castle and Lanercost abbey, to the river Eden near Newby. Its total length of course is about 30 miles; and its banks, in some parts, have very fine scenery.
