An old poem describes the tributary streams of the River Coquet: "First Philhope-burn (his next and near akin, As sprung from Thirlemoor,) to his aid came in, Then Buckham's-Walls, Blind-burn and Carles-croft streams, Pour'd in their forces - gather'd from th' extremes Of English ground: next Rohope's friendly flood Joined them at Slime-foot by a winding road, From Rohope's Fells - from whence he takes his name, And from whose scarry sides his birth does claim. Next Barrough-burn, whose waters many a mile Had travell'd - from the foot of Windy-guile." From The Marriage of the Coquet and the Alwine, published in 1817 See also Image
