It's our job to look after your environment and make it a better place - for you, and for future generations. Your environment is the air you breathe, the water you drink and the ground you walk on. Working with business, Government and society as a whole, we are making your environment cleaner and healthier. The Environment Agency. Out there, making your environment a better place.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Environment Agency Eden and Esk Abstraction Licensing Strategy 2 Foreword Water is the most essential of our natural resources, and it is our job to ensure that we manage and use it effectively and sustainably. The latest population growth and climate change predictions show that pressure on water resources is likely to increase in the future. In light of this, we have to ensure that we continue to maintain and improve sustainable abstraction and balance the needs of society, the economy and the environment. The water environment in the Eden and Esk catchments has a high ecological value, recognised by the numerous designations found here. It is critical to maintain this high status whilst also supporting other needs in the catchment, such as the strategically important supply of water to Cumbria and other parts of the North West region.

  • Eden Castles Walk Kirkby Stephen to Penrith a Four-Day Self-Guided Walking Tour Through Beautiful Rolling Countryside
    widen your horizons Brough Castle Eden Castles Walk Kirkby Stephen to Penrith A four-day self-guided walking tour through beautiful rolling countryside TRAINSFORMING ADVENTURES www.countrytracks.info Brougham Hall Eden Castles Walk 67km/42 miles Getting to Kirkby Stephen & Where to Stay Kirkby Stephen station lies on the sensational Settle-Carlisle Railway, make the connection direct from the West Coast mainline at Carlisle, an hour’s southbound journey. So you could stay a night in Carlisle before making that leg of the trip, knowing that your first day’s walk is only a four-hour walk to Brough-under-Stainmore. Though more likely you will be happy to complete your initial train stage and stay locally. With the use of taxis from the outset you may stay in Kirkby Stephen, Brough or Appleby or nearby village accommodation in-between. It is quite practical to consider staying two or three nights in the one place, forward and back tracking in the taxi. Though with a little aforethought and advance booking you can one-night stand at the end of each walking day. TO CUSTOMISE YOUR STATION TO STATION WALK CONSULT PAGE 30 2 Character of the walk A procession of field-paths in an undulating landscape, the very essence of the English country idyll. However, boots are pre-requisite footwear, after rain, gaiters an asset too. There are no great gradients nor hills to climb, just the pleasantest of country walking throughout. The route takes in some lovely villages, especially meritorious Maulds Meaburn, Crosby Ravensworth, Bampton and Askham. The first two days are guided by the Eden, while day three leads cross-country via the Lyvennet valley and the final day sweeps down the Lowther to the Eamont.

  • Chapter Seven
    Chapter Seven Hunt Reports Mardale Meet. Brilliant Weather and Record Muster. The annual Mardale Shepherd‟s meet, the most talked-of hunting gathering in the border counties, took place on Saturday, and all previous records were easily eclipsed. The dimensions to which this gathering has attained since it first began to boom twenty years ago, when Mr. Walter Baldry was at Mardale, astonished the annual devotees, and was an absolute eye opener to first time visitors. The eternal debate occurred a day or two beforehand which was the best way to get there. It was no use “going over the top.” One might get stranded in No Man‟s Land (High Street) in November mists. It had been reached in all manner of ways. Men had climbed Blue Ghyll at dead of night in pitchy darkness, their only guide a trail hound. And men had been lost in the ghostly fastnesses of Thornthwaite Monument. Young bloods had gone over from Sleddale on “bikes.” Stour shod tourists had descended by Nan Bield and Small Water. Ladies had been known to ride Gatesgarth saddleback. Hundreds had gone by motor and main road. One old veteran, the late Willie Greenhow, had walked over the top from Swindale and attended over 60 annual meets. Some had arrived with “Posty” from Askham or driven up in farmer‟s gigs. No one had yet flown, though it was rumoured that a reverend sportsman once struggled hard o perfect a machine to fly there. Young sports had “salooned” it from Manchester. All managed to get there somehow or other.
