  • Geology in Borrowdale
    Geology Situated on the boundary between the Ordovician Skiddaw Group and the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, Derwentwater Independent Hostel is perfectly located for studying the oldest rocks in the Lake District. We have 500 million years of geological history on our doorstep! The Skiddaw Group lies to the north of the hostel, while to the south you will see the craggier terrain of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group. You will also be able to study evidence of former glacial activity in Borrowdale, mainly in the form of depositional features. There are lots of old mines and quarries in Borrowdale and the adjoining valleys, and many Regionally Important Geological/Geomorphological Sites (RIGS). A very useful introduction to the geology of Cumbria and the surrounding area: http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/geodiversity/englan ds/counties/area_id7.aspx The Cumberland Geological Society: http://www.cumberland-geol-soc.org.uk/ We have several useful Geology books in our library, including: Lakeland Rocks and Landscape: a Field Guide by The Cumberland Geological Society, and The Rocks and Landscape of the Keswick Area by Alan Smith. We also have books about the history of Honister Slate Mine, Borrowdale graphite, and Cumbrian coal mining. Local issues of geological relevance include underground nuclear waste disposal, treatment of water from the disused Force Crag Mine, and stability of the St Bees headland and adjacent coastline. The only published Geological Survey map of the area is sheet 54N 04W at the 1: 250 000 scale.

  • Living Lakes
    Pre-Submission Local Plan Living Lakes Your Local Plan #ShapeTheLakes April 2019 Credit: Andrew Locking Andrew “TheSection 1 IntroductionLake District is an2 evolving masterpiece, shaped and modified by people, culture, farming and industry for thousands of years.” Lord Clark of Windermere, 2015 Section 1 Introduction i Foreword Since our Core Strategy was adopted in 2010, planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). As such, we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and conform to national planning policy. The new Local Plan will be our strategic plan for development for the Lake District up to 2035. Our aim has been to produce a planning framework that delivers the homes, communities and countryside that the Lake District wants and needs. We want to deliver our vision for the Lake District to be ‘an inspirational example of sustainable development in action’. The Lake District received its inscription as a World Heritage Site in July 2017. In the longer term we want World Heritage Status to be a positive force to support new investment in the Lake District’s cultural and natural environment, its communities and economies. One of our key challenges is to enable growth to provide housing and jobs whilst conserving the landscape and its Special Qualities and attributes of Outstanding Universal Value. We have gathered evidence and listened to our communities, businesses and stakeholders to find out what the key issues are in the Lake District and how we can use this plan to deliver those aspirations. This Plan is a result of consultation and engagement with our communities, businesses, organisations and stakeholders.

Rosthwaite The village sits on and around a prominent wooded, rocky knoll named The How, which formed a partial barrier to over-riding ice. This feature is a roche moutonnée. Adjacent are three ridges of glacial debris, which represent end-moraines of a glacier entering Borrowdale from Stonethwaite and Langstrath (Figures 1 and 2). We will examine the morphology of these features. Figure 1. Borrowdale viewed from King’s How. The route of our excursion starts at Rosthwaite, centre-left, heads up towards Little Gatesgarthdale to the right and then traverses the hillside on the right. At left is the Stonethwaite valley; its glacier produced the moraines at Rosthwaite. Beyond is Glaramara and the hanging valley of Coombe Gill. The Scafells are just visible beyond the rays of sunshine, below which is Seathwaite at the head of Borrowdale, and Great Gable is on the right.

  • Borrowdale Valley
    BORROWDALE VALLEY INTRODUCTION Allfred Wainwright called it the fairest valley of the Lake District. Another quote from Edmund Cassons The Wise Kings of Borrowdale sums up the beauty of the dale: . .O most fair Glory of Cumberland, I worship thee. Thou art what God hath shewn us of heaven's light. With me rejoice, O Cumbrians, and praise God For the shadow of His beauty. Borrowdale, walled in part by high, sharp-edged crags, is located in Cumbrias volcanic central mountains. Stretching from the head of Derwent Water south to Seathwaite, it is the main access to the central part of the Lake District. Sty Head Pass connects Wasdale with Borrowdale. Honister Pass connects the Borrowdale and Buttermere valleys. Its glacial lake, Derwentwater, contains four islands - Derwent Island, St Herbert's Island (named after a hermit who once lived there), Lord's Island (the site of the first smelter in Keswick) and Rampsholme Island. Derwentwater was once joined to Bassenthwaite Lake until river-borne deposits silted up the section to the west of Keswick. The best way to enjoy Derwentwater is by a cruise on the Keswick Launch. Lodore Falls are an impressive sight after heavy rain, when the waters of Watendlath Beck discharge their load over the edge of the hanging valley, before escaping into Derwentwater. Edmund Casson certainly presented a romantic view of Borrowdale in his poem, "The Wise Kings of Borrowdale", and the dale continues to be a favourite with visitors in the present day. Watendlath's quiet nook. A farm is there and a slated barn, And a waterfall; and a pebbly tarn; And all the way to High Lodore The banks of the beck are painted o'er With red herb-willow and red loose-strife ARCHAEOLOGY & HISTORY The valley is distinctive for its „Borrowdale Volcanics‟ which poured (sometimes shot) out of volcanic vents above the Skiddaw Slates in Ordovician times, about 400 million years ago.
