  • Newlands Valley Walk
    Newlands Valley Walk You can start this walk from virtually anywhere in the Newlands valley; I started from a couple of our Lake District cottages at Birkrigg on the Newlands Pass. Walk down the road in the direction of Keswick, you will soon come to a tight bend at Rigg Beck where the ‘Old Purple House’ used to stand. There is now a Grand Designs style house on the site but the purple colour remains on the roof garden and the front door. Carry on along the pass till you come across a gate on the right hand side and a finger post indicating a footpath beyond the gate. The path leads down into the valley fields and across a minor road. A track climbs up the other side of the valley and emerges at Skelgill. Walk through the farmyard and turn immediately back on yourself to join the path that runs alongside Catbells, towards the old mines at Yewthwaite. After about half a mile, the path descends into Little Town where you can enjoy a well earned cup of tea at the farm tea room. Now there are two options from Little Town. For a longer walk, go back up onto the track and carry on down the valley. This will take you to the old mines at Goldscope where you can peer into the open shafts on the side of Hindscarth. Alternatively you can walk along the road towards Chapel Bridge and stroll down the lane to the pretty little church. The church serves tea and cake on weekends and during the summer.

  • (Lancashire North of the Sands), No Religious House Arose In
    AN INTRODUCTION TO THE RELIGIOUS HOUSES OF CUMBRIA In Furness, (Lancashire north of the sands), no religious house arose in the poor and remote districts which in the twelfth century became the county of Lancaster, until nearly thirty years after the Norman Conquest. Of the three Cistercian houses Furness was the earliest, having been founded at Tulketh near Preston in 1124, and removed to Furness in 1127; There were two houses of Austin Canons; the priory of Conishead was founded (at first as a hospital) before 1181, the priory of Cartmel about 1190. Furness and Cartmel, exercised feudal lordship over wide tracts of country. Furness naturally resented the foundation of Conishead so close to itself, and on land under its own lordship, but the quarrel was soon composed. In Cumberland, within a comparatively small area, six monastic foundations carried on their work with varying success for almost four centuries. Four of these houses were close to the border, and suffered much during the long period of hostility between the two kingdoms. The priories of Carlisle and Lanercost, separated only by some 10 miles, were of the Augustinian order; the abbeys of Holmcultram and Calder, between which there seems to have been little communication, were of the Cistercian; and the priories of Wetheral and St. Bees were cells of the great Benedictine abbey of St. Mary, York Detailed accounts of all the monastic houses in the former counties of Cumberland and Lancashire appeared in the introductory volumes of the original Victoria County Histories of the two counties, published in 1905 and 1908 respectively.

  • Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and Museum
    Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and Museum Resources and activities for Primary Schools Theme 2: Ingenuity - building the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Contents Page STEM Lit Art Hist Navvies 4 x x x A day in the life of a steam engine driver 7 x x x The remarkable Mary fair 12 x x x Ratty people saving the railway 16 x Strong structures at the railway 21 x Bridge building challenge 25 x Structures and bridges teacher 28 x information Introduction Ingenuity is an important theme at the Ravenglass Railway Museum. Alongside the science-based resources, these session explore the ingenuity of ‘Ratty People’; the characters who have worked on the railway and in some cases still do. In this series of activities, children investigate how the railway was built and look in more detail at strong structures. During a visit to the railway, children look for examples of strong structures and then back at school develop their understanding of structures to tackle a bridge-building challenge. 2 Curriculum ideas Investigating the Navvies who built the railway has links with the history curriculum (a local study) and also gives opportunities for exploring literacy. The practical activities allow children to practise design, refine and make skills in design technology and illustrate forces and gravity from the science curriculum. Wider curriculum connections can be made by researching information about bridges in different parts of the world. Facts about the bridges, such as height and span, can lead into numerical comparisons and representations. Changes in bridge design and capabilities over time can be interpreted in the light of the available materials and technology.
