It can be dark and menacing, light and inviting, inspirational, relaxing, exciting, over-powering and heady with the tang of wild places…and sometimes all those things in just one day! Stroll to the edge of the lake, Wast Water, to gain a hint of the powerful natural forces that have shaped this place and an inkling of why this setting served as the backdrop to some of the greatest pioneering rock climbing achievements... Why is this dramatic landscape such a Lake District icon? Arguably the wildest and most dramatic of the Lakeland valleys, Wasdale is a masterpiece of creation, fashioned by the Ice Age glaciers that carved deep U-shaped hollows in the hard volcanic rocks of this part of north-west England. Although the Ice Ages began about 2.4 million years ago, they lasted until about 10,000 years ago and it was this latest period of intense cold that caused the striking features we see here.

  • Newsletter No
    Newsletter www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk No. 21 June 2015 Supported by Welcome to the latest issue of the CCHT e-newsletter intended to keep you up-to- date with the VCH Cumbria project. Celebrating Magna Carta: David Starkey's Lecture for CCHT More than 200 people gathered at Rheged on 11th June to hear David Starkey speak about the origins and legacy of Magna Carta. This was a particularly timely event, being just days away from the 800th anniversary of the sealing (not signing!) of the document itself on 15th June. The topic was made all the more entertaining and relatable given the parallels drawn between medieval and more recent political figures. David Starkey’s new book on Magna Carta is now available. Eighty-two guests stayed for supper after the lecture – the maximum that could be seated. David also signed copies of his new book. In all, the evening repeated the success of the lecture Dr Starkey kindly gave for CCHT in 2012, and we would like to thank him for doing this again. Thanks also to the Dunning family and staff at Rheged for hosting the event, and to all those who helped support CCHT by attending on the night. 1 CCHT at BALH Local History Day We are delighted to announce that former CCHT secretary, Richard Brockington, has received a personal achievement award from the British Association for Local History (BALH). Richard was presented with the award at the BALH annual conference in Birmingham on Saturday 6th June. The award acknowledges Richard’s many achievements in the field of local history, but particularly his vital contribution in helping to establish CCHT and get the VCH Cumbria project off the ground.
