  • Orton Moss Near Carlisle
    Orton Moss Near Carlisle What to see Devil’s bit scabious, marsh valerian. Woodcock, great spotted woodpecker Orton Moss is a former raised mire which has been greatly modified by man’s activities. The moss is divided into a large number of strips and fields which would traditionally have been used for peat cutting and grazing during the 19th and early 20th centuries. To early naturalists it was a very important wildlife site, particularly noted for its butterflies. It was once the haunt of the rare wood white, now extinct in Cumbria, the large heath, a species of open raised mire habitats, and the marsh fritillary which was last recorded in 1980. Most of the fields have now been abandoned and this has led to an increase in woodland cover and these species have disappeared. Bucknill’s Field is maintained as a wet meadow by annual mowing or grazing. Devil’s bit scabious, knapweed, meadowsweet and wild angelica are abundant in the wetter areas of the field. The woodland compartments contain small remnants of raised mire vegetation including Sphagnum moss and bog rosemary. Royal fern also occurs in two locations. The woodland is dominated by birch and Scots pine which has seeded naturally onto the former bog. Birds likely to be seen include willow tit, woodcock, great spotted woodpecker and willow warbler. Bucknill’s Field was purchased in 1964 with money donated by Cannon E J Bucknill. The two areas of woodland are leased from Natural England. Location Near Carlisle Map reference OS 1:50,000 Sheet No. 85 Grid reference NY 339 543 Access Orton Moss can be extremely wet although the southern end of Bucknill’s Field is always dry.

    Mapping the Late Medieval and Post Medieval Landscape of Cumbria Two Volumes Volume 1: Text Caron Egerton Newman Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University Submitted: June 2014 Abstract This study is an analysis of the development of rural settlement patterns and field systems in Cumbria from the later medieval period through to the late eighteenth century. It uses documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. This evidence is interpreted utilising the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), map regression and maps created by the author, summarising and synthesising historical and archaeological data. The mapped settlement data, in particular, has been manipulated using tools of graphic analysis available within a Graphical Information System (GIS). The initial product is a digital map of Cumbria in the late eighteenth century, based on the county-scale maps of that period, enhanced with information taken from enclosure maps and awards, and other post medieval cartographic sources. From this baseline, an interpretation of the late medieval landscape was developed by adding information from other data sources, such as place names and documentary evidence. The approach was necessarily top-down and broad brush, in order to provide a landscape-scale, sub-regional view. This both addresses the deficiencies within the standard historical approach to landscape development, and complements such approaches. Standard historical approaches are strong on detail, but can be weak when conclusions based on localised examples are extrapolated and attributed to the wider landscape. The methodology adopted by this study allows those local analyses to be set within a broader landscape context, providing another tool to use alongside more traditional approaches to historic landscape studies.

  • Population and Housing
    Annual Monitoring Report 2011/12 Introduction Background 1.1 This is the eighth Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) produced by Allerdale Borough Council. It covers the period from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2012. 1.2 The AMR reports on a number of monitoring statistics, including progress made towards the Local Plan. The publication of the AMR enables the Council to publish a comprehensive set of data about the Borough that is easily and publicly accessible, to meet a wide range of data requests that Planning Services receives. 1.3 The current system of plan making is designed to be a continuous process, with the local planning authority regularly preparing, adopting and reviewing Local Development Documents, to take account of changing national and local circumstances. Keeping development plans up-to-date is assessed by the AMR. Changes to Monitoring of Indicators 1.4 As part of the package of reforms to the planning system put forward by the current government, there is no longer a requirement for local planning authorities to monitor indicators previously set at the national and regional level. Instead, the onus is for local planning authorities to determine indicators which best complements their policy requirements. 1.5 Although there is an intention to remove the requirement to submit the AMR to the Government, the Localism Act requires for Planning Authorities to publish an AMR on the implementation of their development plan and Local Development Scheme. 1.6 At the July 2011 meeting of the Cumbria Monitoring Officer’s Group (CMOG) the implications of emerging legislation and guidance, and the removal of information concerning the core indicator set were discussed.

  • Welcome to Finglandrigg Wood National Nature Reserve
    Finglandrigg Wood National Nature Reserve Welcome to Finglandrigg Wood National Nature Reserve Finglandrigg Wood National Nature Reserve is one of the largest areas of semi natural woodland on the Solway Plain. In addition to the woodland the reserve also offers a range of other important habitats including lowland wet heath, peatland, rough pasture and acid grassland. Banded Demoiselle The Wildlife experience Due to the mosaic of habitats the reserve offers a varied and interesting visitor experience throughout the year. The diversity of habitats supports a wealth of wildlife species including a plentiful population of invertebrate species with some rarities present. There is also an abundant bird assemblage with migrant species taking up temporary residence throughout the seasons. Reptiles including common lizard and adders can be seen basking in areas on the heathland on a warm and sunny day. Wet boggy pools across the reserve support good numbers of frogs and toads and damsel and dragonflies during the spring and summer months. The grassland and woodlands provide food and shelter to some of our larger animals including a small number of roe deer which can often be spotted in the open grassland. Less seen mammals which are present are badgers, foxes, stoats and brown hare. Not to be forgotten are the plants. Areas of grassland on the reserve support good numbers of the northern marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza purpurella) Ragged Robin and common spotted orchid (Dactylorhiza fuchsii), Marsh Fritillary Butterfly The solitary mining bee (Ardrena ruficrus), was found at Finglandrigg Wood in 2011. It has a distinct northern distribution with most records from south Scotland and Yorkshire.
