References in Literature
Skiddaw is mentioned in the fourth book of John Keats' Endymion:
"...with all the stress / Of vision search’d for him, as one would look from old Skiddaw’s top, when fog conceals / His rugged forehead in a mantle pale, / With an eye-guess towards some pleasant vale / Descry a favourite hamlet faint and far."
