On the south bank of the Eamont, within a short distance ofPenrith, is King Arthurs round table, a trenched amphitheatre, where the brave of otherdays wrought deeds of high emprise, and vindicated the honour of knighthood by achieve-ments in arms. In the immediate neighbourhood of this romantic sight, is Mayburgh, a mysterious structure, generally supposed to have been the Gymnasium, where thehumbler classes sought to distinguish themselves, and obtain a rude renown by the athleticexercises of wrestling, racing, casting the quoit, &c. On the north side of the river Eamont are two singular excavations in a perpendicularrock, called the Giants Caves, or Ms Parlis. The only approach to them is along narrowledges of the cliff; and the visitor is obliged to cling firmly to the shrubs which vegetateon its rugged side. The first cave is little more than a narrow recess ; but the other iscapable of holding a great number of people ; and it appears to have had, formerly, a door.
