This Parish Occupies an Extensive Tract in the North-Eastern Corner Of
DUFTON PARISH. 183 ) • Area, according to Ordnance Survey, 16,848 acres; area under assessment, 4,266 acres. Rateable value, £4,542; population, 414. • This parish occupies an extensive tract in the north-eastern corner of the county, stretching from the confines of Durham west ward a distance of about eight miles, and from north to south about five miles. It is bounded on the north by Milbourn Forest; on the west by Long Marton ; on the south by Bongate parish ; and on the east by the river Tees, which here expands into a fine broad sheet of water called The Wheel. From this lake the water is precipitated down a steep incline ; and from its resemblance to the discharge of a liquid from some huge vessel, the fall has been named Caldron Snout. Numerous offshoots from the Pennine Range and other detached mountain masses cover the parish, giving it a decidedly Alpine -character. Among these hills are reared great numbers of a superior breed of black-faced mountain sheep. Though wanting in those picturesque and romantic effects which form such attractive features in much of the mountain scenery of the lake land, there are several pleasing patches of landscape and other intere10ting spots in this dis trict well worthy of notice. Of late years the locality has been much frequented by tourists on their way to the lakes from the counties of Durham and Yorkshire. The route generally taken is by way of High Force to Caldron Snout, then up Maize at the base of Mickle Fell, and across Hycup (High Cup) plain (where perchance the traveller may experience the effects of the remarkable Helm wind) to Hycup Gill, one of the grandest sights in the Pennines. -

As a product of the particular landscape found at Cross Fell, the Helm is a true local wind, and a phenomenon that has come to assume great cultural as well as environmental significance in the region and beyond. In this paper we draw on material from county histories, newspaper archives, and documents relating to investigations of the Helm Wind that were conducted by the Royal Meteorological Society between 1884 and 1889, and by British climatologist Gordon Manley (1908e1980), between 1937 and 1939, to document attempts to observe, measure, understand and explain this local wind over a period of 200 years. We show how different ways of knowing the Helm relate to contemporary practices of meteorology, highlighting the shifts that took place in terms of what constituted credible meteorological observation. -

We are an exception: our membership has increased slightly over the past three or four years. It is difficult to pinpoint the reasons for this but it seems logical to conclude that our members are happy with what their subscriptions entitle them to, but the poor attendances at our September/October fixtures would seem to suggest that there may be a problem. One of the main benefits of membership is the excellent programme of lectures on offer each year. The programme is carefully constructed to cater for all interests; from beginners to the more experienced. Our lecturers, whether local or -

Fig. 3.9.5). at the Edges of This Pit, Small Sphagnum Mats and Hare's-Tail Cottongrass (Eriophorum Vaginatum) Tufts Are Spreading
Fig. 3.9.5). At the edges of this pit, small Sphagnum mats and hare's-tail cottongrass (Eriophorum vaginatum) tufts are spreading. Fragments of Pinus mugo woods remain at the periphery of the areas which have been cut off. However, these stands are drying out and are now giving rise to a better growth of the trees and overshadowing the bog vegetation (Fig. 3.9.6). Trees, mostly spruce, are growing along the drainage ditches (FELDMEYER-CHRISTE 1987). Fig. 3.9.5. Peat cutting pit invaded with bottle sedge (Carex rostrata) viewed from the unexploited peat mound (Photo by E. Feldmeyer-Christe). 3.9.7 Land use history The name of la Chaux-des-Breuleux bog is derived from the nearby village and stands for the method of settlement: breuler in old French (= today's brUler) reflects the fact that the settlers burnt the forest for agricultural land. Drainage of the bog started in the 18th century to provide the Co,mbe mill (see Fig. 3.9.3) with water power. In 1875, the eastern part of the bog suffered a major fire. At present almost all the bog has been cut over. Until the 1930's, peat cutting was a craft industry. To provide Ciba-Geigy in Basle and the city of Bienne with fuel during World War Two, the bog was exploited with machines and the sods removed by the narrow gauge railway which still traverses the bog at the south-western edge. Parts of the bog site have been a nature reserve since 1974. Larger areas in the western part and at the south-eastern edge are still used for grazing.
