    2 the Landscape, Its Heritage and Its People

    RUSLAND HORIZONS Working a Lakeland Landscape 2 The Landscape, its Heritage and its People This chapter describes in detail the varied aspects of the Rusland Horizons landscape, looking at both its physical characteristics and its heritage assets. The first section provides an explanation of the area’s key features using the landscape character assessment approach. Sections 2.2 and 2.3 examine the natural heritage, including geology and biodiversity, and the cultural heritage of the area, looking at how these have developed over time. The final section describes the ecosystems services of the area and explores how the Landscape Partnership can contribute to the process of identifying and supporting these services. Figure 1: View from Rusland Heights. © T. Morris. In High Furness there is an irregular and romantic mixture of high craggy hills, deep glens, and verdant valleys, interspersed with brooks, rivers and lakes. Edward Baines (1824). The Antiquities of Furness. 2 The Landscape, its Heritage and its People Page: 24 RUSLAND HORIZONS Working a Lakeland Landscape 2.1 Landscape Character Landscape is not just the view. It is about the relationship between people and place. landscape character assessments provide a tool for identifying features that give a locality its 'sense of place' and pinpoint what makes it different from neighbouring areas. They provided a framework for describing an area in a systematic, value-free way and help land managers ensure that change can respect and enhance local character. The Rusland Horizons area is covered by Natural England’s National Character Areas Profile 19 Cumbria Low Fells and by the Landscape Character Assessment with Guidelines for the Lake District National Park.

Morris. Known historically as part of the High Furness Fells, The Rusland Valley and Fells scheme area is bounded by Windermere to the east, Coniston Water to the west, the transitional landscapes leading to Morecambe Bay to the south and the watershed of the low fells before the dramatic backdrop of the high Central Lakes fells to the north. This is a landscape of low but rugged fells, generally 200-300m high, dissected by a number of lowland valleys including the Rusland Valley. The north-south orientated ridges slope generally southwards from the high central fells towards the rivers Levens, Rusland Pool and Crake. From the open pasture ridgetops there are dramatic long distance views north to the central fells and south to Morecambe Bay. Much of the fell land is densely wooded with semi-natural woodland and coniferous plantations and the area is one of the most densely wooded in England.

    Coniston Station Risk Review / Profile This document assesses the specific performance and risk within the fire station area. It provides more defined risk profiling down to Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. The risk profiling process by its very nature provides evidence of the fire risk within each geographical LSOA using detailed known risk and demographic information. The risk formula used to inform our fire risk profile was devised following the Intervention Standards Review, full details are available on our website: www.cumbria.gov.uk/fire The review also identifies other significant risks in the area that need consideration so that our resources are appropriately allocated across the county. As well as looking at county wide issues and trends in the main Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP), this individual station risk profile considers: • Current resources • Appliance availability • Operational response activity • Fire risk profile • Next nearest supporting appliances • Location specific risks including: heritage risk, environment risk, site specific risks: flooding risks, rurality and resilience risk. Resources The old fire station was a wooden garage and petrol station requisitioned during the Second World War. A new fire station was opened in 1955 and is currently staffed by 7 firefighters employed on the on call duty system and has one fire engine. On-call Fire Engine Availability 2014 During 2014 the Coniston On-call fire engine had been off the run on 824.75 hours or 9.41% of the time Activity Considering incident
