  • COMMUNICATIONS in CUMBRIA : an Overview
    Cumbria County History Trust (Database component of the Victoria Country History Project) About the County COMMUNICATIONS IN CUMBRIA : An overview Eric Apperley October 2019 The theme of this article is to record the developing means by which the residents of Cumbria could make contact with others outside their immediate community with increasing facility, speed and comfort. PART 1: Up to the 20th century, with some overlap where inventions in the late 19thC did not really take off until the 20thC 1. ANCIENT TRACKWAYS It is quite possible that many of the roads or tracks of today had their origins many thousands of years ago, but the physical evidence to prove that is virtually non-existent. The term ‘trackway’ refers to a linear route which has been marked on the ground surface over time by the passage of traffic. A ‘road’, on the other hand, is a route which has been deliberately engineered. Only when routes were engineered – as was the norm in Roman times, but only when difficult terrain demanded it in other periods of history – is there evidence on the ground. It was only much later that routes were mapped and recorded in detail, for example as part of a submission to establish a Turnpike Trust.11, 12 From the earliest times when humans settled and became farmers, it is likely that there was contact between adjacent settlements, for trade or barter, finding spouses and for occasional ritual event (e.g stone axes - it seems likely that the axes made in Langdale would be transported along known ridge routes towards their destination, keeping to the high ground as much as possible [at that time (3000-1500BC) much of the land up to 2000ft was forested].

  • Newsletter Winter 2013 Squirrel Ranger - We Take the Plunge in Ullswater
    Penrith and District Red Squirrel Group Newsletter Winter 2013 Squirrel Ranger - We Take the Plunge in Ullswater P&DRSG have jumped in with both feet and are delighted to confirm that as of 1st February 2013 Christian Bensaid is the new Red Squirrel Ranger for Ullswater. Christian is employed on a part time (three days per week) self employed basis. He is already well known in the area as one of our more active volunteers (regularly seen at shows and events), he has a wealth of experience from his current position as a red squirrel ranger at Center Parcs where he will continue to work for the other two days. We have long aspired to have ranger cover for Ullswater to support and coordi- nate the tremendous volunteer effort and landowner support that already exists throughout the valley but have simply not had the necessary local funding. All this changed however when the Lake District National Park Authority came forward with a grant for funding, sufficiently generous to kick start the project and give us the confidence we needed. All that remains for us to address now, is how on earth do we keep it going? We have applied to Nurture Eden for their support to the project and they have indicated a keen interest to be involved. They provide funding to pay for local conservation and environmental work by inviting voluntary donations from visitors who feel inspired to put something back into looking after the places they love. We would therefore encourage all tourism businesses in Eden/Ullswater to sign up to their innovative scheme.

  • The Villager March 2017 Draft Final
    Murton - cum - Hilton Issue 65 March 2017 THE VILLAGER Editorial: Welcome to the 65th edition of The Villager. As always, many thanks to those who have contributed to this edition, a plea for those contributions to continue, and also for additional contributions from anyone with something they would like to share with our audience. In addition to our contributors, the most important people are those who put The Villager through your doors. I should like to thank Alan Ormrod, who started The Villager 16 years ago and who, together with his wife Eileen, has delivered the Villager in Murton ever since. Alan has retired from this role and my thanks go to Kathy Stokes who has agreed to take over the deliveries. Similarly, following Gabriel Reid’s move to Appleby, the Hilton deliveries will now be made by Judy Riley. My thanks to Pete Emsley (Brackenber), Frank & Jules Price (Appleby) & my wife Anne (At Last to Flakeridge) who complete the delivery team. You may recall earlier articles on the subject of Broadband. I can report a successful installation of 4G, which transforms the service, with speeds in excess of 25mb. The installation costs are not cheap, at around £1,000 but we were able to split the costs with our semidetached neighbour. Further sharing is not practical as the cable from the dish to the modem should not exceed 5 metres. If you currently are unable to access broadband with a speed of 2Mb you may qualify for a subsidy. Details at www.connectingcumbria.org.uk/BDUK-Better-Broadband.asp I thought it might help readers to know the last dates for contributions to future issues of The Villager.

  • Fell End Clouds Near Kirkby Stephen
    Fell End Clouds near Kirkby Stephen County/Area - Cumbria Author - Lou Johnson Length - 3.0 miles / 4.9 km Ascent - 550 feet / 167 metres Grade - easy Start - OS grid reference NY733005 Lat 54.399262 / Long -2.412767 Postcode CA17 4LL (approx. location only) This easy walk explores an area of limestone country that adjoins the western slopes of Wild Boar Fell. Besides the immediate interest provided by the limestone outcrops and pavements you get some fine views across the surrounding countryside including the Eden Valley, the Howgill Fells and northern slopes of Baugh Fell which lies above Dentdale. The start is at grid ref NY734005 where parking is available in an old quarry on the minor road formerly known as "the Street". This minor road is signed Ulldale and Fell End off the A683 Sedbergh to Kirkby Stephen Road. After parking walk towards the main road. On your right there is a stone wall. Leave the minor road just before the wall and follow a track that twists and turns up towards a ridge. In places the track is rather vague but it becomes more obvious as height is gained. The OS Explorer map provides good guidance. As you climb the views improve with the track eventually reaching a col (grid ref. NY742001). Ahead lies rough moorland that forms the western slopes of Wild Boar Fell. Turn right (southwest) along the ridge aiming for a large prominent cairn. Across the valley to your right lie the Howgill Fells with Harter Fell the dominant summit in the foreground. Beyond you can see the hump backed hills that are so typical of the Howgills.
