dbo:abstract
  • Der River Irt ist ein Fluss im Lake District, Cumbria, England. Der River Irt entsteht als Abfluss des Wast Water an dessen westlichem Ende. Der gewundene Lauf des Flusses wechselt zwischen einer westlichen und einer südsüdwestlichen Richtung. Zwischen den Orten Drigg und Ravenglass fließt der Fluss in südlicher Richtung nur durch eine niedrige Landzunge vom Meer getrennt, bis er bei Ravenglass in das Ästuar, das aus seinem Lauf, dem River Esk und dem River Mite gebildet wird, mündet. Dieser Mündungstrichter geht dann in die Irische See über. (de)

The river forms at the confluence of Lingmell Beck and Mosedale Beck on Wasdale Head, which is on the north-western side of Scafell Pike. On its short journey to the coast, the Irt is crossed by the Cumbria Coastal Way long-distance footpath, at Drigg Holme packhorse bridge. The Irt flows through the before joining the River Esk and River Mite at Ravenglass. The river is tidal up until the railway bridge that carries the Cumbrian Coast Line just south of Drigg railway station. In the 19th century the River Irt was famous for the extremely rare black pearls that grew in its freshwater mussels. Poaching of the pearls was thought to have led to the mussels becoming extinct in the River Irt, however, a very small number have survived. The West Cumbria Rivers Trust carried out conservation work on the river between February 2015 and February 2018 to try and protect the habitat and prevent the complete eradication of the freshwater mussel from the river.
