What is the name of the village in Cumbria which was described in the following poem  as "the loveliest spot that man has ever found"?

"Farewell, thou little Nook of mountain-ground,

Thou rocky corner in the lowest stair

Of that magnicicent temple which thou doth bound

One side of our whole vale with grandeur rare;

Sweet garden-orchard,eminently fair,

The loveliest spot that man hath ever found, "

I know of 2 Zebedees, the springy one from The Magic Roundabout, and the fisherman father of James and John in the bible. So, I'm a bit stuck at the moment Undecided
