Definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Duddon)

The Duddon is a river of north-west England. It rises at a point 1,289 feet (393 m) above sea level near the Three Shire Stone at the highest point of Wrynose Pass (grid reference NY277028). The river descends to the sea over a course of about 15 miles (24 km) before entering the Irish Sea at the Duddon Sands.

Since local government re-organisation in 1974 the Duddon has been in the county of Cumbria. (Wikipedia)
