The Brathay once formed part of the boundary between the historic counties of Lancashire and Westmorland before the local government re-organisation of 1974 effectively removed Lancashire's furthest reach from the present-day county of Cumbria. Evidence of Lancashire's extent is still evident in places like the popular [[Three Shires Inn]] at [[Little Langdale]] and the [[Three Shire Stone]] at [[Wrynose Pass]].
