  • Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report
    Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report December 2017 Front cover. Lidar image of the site of Deerbolt Training Camp, now occupied by Deerbolt Prison, just west of Barnard Castle (Area 1 in this survey). Little if any sign of the First World War camp survives above ground, though earthworks of a contemporary rifle range do survive, and have been recorded on lidar, on the south bank of the Deepdale Beck, to the west. This image demonstrates something of the time-depth of the historic landscape here, with ridge- and-furrow field-systems, some of which date from medieval times, clearly visible. Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report Contents Acknowledgements 1. Introduction 2. Methodology 3. Results 4. Discussion Appendix References 1 Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report Acknowledgements First and foremost, thanks are due to the volunteers who undertook the survey work: D Armstrong, Chris and Audrey Battersby, Barbara Chipchase, Paul Cordes, David Donkin, John Goldsborough, and J P Merrington.

  • County Durham Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Open
    County Durham Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities Second edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… Foreword written by Tony Blair Open This directory was designed for people with a disability, though the information included will be useful to everyone. The Land of the Prince Bishops has some of the most stunning landscapes in Britain. From its high Pennine moorland in the west to the limestone cliffs of its North Sea coastline in the east, County Durham boasts an impressive variety of landscape for you to explore. Upper Teesdale, in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is home to England's highest waterfall, High Force. At Barnard Castle, on the banks of the Tees, you can explore the romantic ruins which gave the town its name, as well as the sumptuous Bowes Museum and the medieval Raby Castle with its majestic deer park. For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help to encourage better access for all in the future.
