  • Kirkby Stephen Bench Walks
    Case Study October 2020 Kirkby Stephen Bench Walks Increasing exercise and reducing loneliness Local people in Kirkby Stephen have developed a walking map of 60 benches in and around Kirkby Stephen. Six of the benches have been designated as ‘Happy to Chat’ benches. The map provides ideas for interesting town walks as well as scenic riverside and viaduct walks. It gives people the confidence of At the launch: knowing where their next bench is, as well as the Sarah Middleton, Ann opportunity to meet others. Sandell, Cllr Phil Dew, Anne Cradock, Joan Johnstone & Julie Barton Background In November 2019, the Chair of Cumbria Westmorland Federation of Women’s Institutes (WI) gave members a challenge - to do something that would have an impact on their community and help to combat loneliness. This led to the development of the Bench Walks map. Cumbria County Council (CCC) had previously organised a Dementia Awareness Day in Kirkby Stephen. The groups involved in the awareness day became the partners for the Bench Walk project. Anne Cradock, Activity Coordinator of Nateby & Wharton WI, organised the meetings at the Bothy Café in Kirkby Stephen, and a plan was formulated to firstly find and then create a map of the benches around the town and adjacent area. In February 2020, Ann Sandell and Kirkby Stephen & District Walkers are Welcome members arranged three exploratory walks together with the partners and members of the WI. They were surprised to find over 80 benches, rather than the 20 or 30 they had expected. The Project Section of The aim was to enable less mobile people in the community Kirkby Stephen to enjoy the benefits of short accessible walks.

  • Cycle Route from Kirkby Stephen: Mallerstang and Pendragon Castle Ride
    Cycle Route from Kirkby Stephen: Mallerstang and Pendragon Castle Ride The narrow dale of Mallerstang is the uppermost and remotest part of the Eden Valley (leading to the source of the River Eden on Black Fell Moss). You’ll get marvellous views into it as you descend from your highest point across the open fell along a narrow ribbon of tarmac. At the bottom you’ll find the remains of Pendragon Castle built according to legend by Uther Pendragon, father of King Arthur. There’s no public access beyond the gate but you get a good look at it. If you like, carry on cycling up the dale for a while before heading back to Kirkby Stephen. At the start of the ride you’re on a short section of National Route 71 (Penrith - Thirsk) and the Walney to Wear and Whitby Cycle Route (20).

  • Briefing Paper the Big Society: News from the Frontline in Eden August
    AWICS Independence…..Integrity.….Value Adrian Waite (In dependent Consultancy Services) Limited Briefing Paper The Big Society: News from the Frontline in Eden August 2010 Introduction The government’s ‘Big Society’ project was launched by David Cameron in Liverpool on 19th July 2010. As part of this, four areas have been identified as Vanguard Communities where it is intended to ‘turn government completely on its head’. These areas are Eden, Liverpool, Sutton and Windsor & Maidenhead. David Cameron said: “My great passion is building the Big Society. Anyone who’s had even a passing interest in what I’ve been saying for years will know that. “The ‘Big Society’ is…something different and bold… It’s about saying if we want real change for the long-term, we need people to come together and work together – because we’re all in this together. “(We want) Neighbourhoods who are in charge of their own destiny, who feel if they club together and get involved they can shape the world around them. “If you’ve got an idea to make life better, if you want to improve your local area, don’t just think about it – tell us what you want to do and we will try and give you the tools to make this happen.” David Cameron outlined what are to be the three major strands of Big Society which include: “First, social action. The success of the Big Society will depend on the daily decisions of millions of people – on them giving their time, effort, even money, to causes around them. So government cannot remain neutral on that – it must foster and support a new culture of voluntarism, philanthropy, social action.

  • G Due South, It Sits Within Generously Proportioned Grounds with Mature Gardens on All Sides and a Small Paddock on the Other Side of the Adjacent Lane
    Green Bank, Brough Sowerby, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria CA17 4EG Guide Price £240,000 GdP £ Green Bank, Brough Sowerby Green Bank is located on the edge of Brough Sowerby village, occupying an elevated corner site, with lovely rural views southwards across the gardens to the Howgill fells. It is just over 3 miles to Kirkby Stephen, 23 miles from Penrith and just over 9 miles from Appleby. Brough Sowerby is a short distance from the A66 which give good access east-west and links with the A1 at Scotch Corner and the M6 at Junction 40. With the rear elevation facing due south, it sits within generously proportioned grounds with mature gardens on all sides and a small paddock on the other side of the adjacent lane. This property comprises the original house and adjoining barn, the latter having been converted to residential space which has been used by the current owners as an annexe for elderly parents and latterly as holiday accommodation, but all of which combine to create a substantial five bedroom house. It has many period and traditional features which create a family home with atmosphere. The original house has a dining kitchen with pantry, conservatory, open plan front-to-back sitting/living room, dining room, three bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The barn conversion has reversed accommodation with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor and a spacious full-height sitting room and dining kitchen upstairs. There is a large store room on the ground floor accessed from outside. The present owners ran a business from the property and there is substantial greenhousing on part of the grounds, which would be ideal for someone who wishes to undertake serious gardening or a horticultural business.
