BRATHAY (The), a stream of Westmoreland and Lancashire. It rises on the Stake mountain; and runs 9 miles east-south-eastward to the head of Windermere. It traverses Great Langdale; expands into Elter-water; makes a fall of about 20 feet, a little below that lake; and is joined by the Rothay, a few yards from Windermere. Char and trout enter its mouth from Windermere; and all the char go up the Brathay, while all the trout go up the Rothay.
