  • Introduction to Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme in July 2017 and February 2018 We Shared Options to Reduce Flood Risk in Kendal
    Introduction to Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme In July 2017 and February 2018 we shared options to reduce flood risk in Kendal. Since then we have: • undertaken surveys, ground investigations and environmental assessments • developed our proposals, assessed their possible environmental impacts and the costs in accordance with the rules set by government • discussed these with local authorities and key landowners This work has helped us shape the ‘preferred options’ for managing future flood risk in Kendal. Our key aims for the future flood risk management scheme are to: • reduce the flood risk from the Rivers Kent and Mint and other minor watercourses • support South Lakeland District Council's regeneration objectives • retain footpaths and cycleways which already exist along both rivers • open up and maximise views of and across the rivers • improve the river corridor for wildlife • improve access to the river corridor for maintenance and debris removal We have taken account of and will continue to consider: • feedback from previous consultations • disturbance to local residents and businesses • potential conflicts between flood protection, public access and nature conservation interests that are protected by law • valued heritage, archaeological and landscape interests, conservation areas, scheduled structures and listed buildings Across Kendal, the onset of flooding is as low as 1 in 5 years which means that in any given year those at highest risk face a 1 in 5 chance of experiencing flooding. Overview of Kendal Flood Risk Management Scheme The Kendal Flood Risk Management scheme will protect the community by managing flood risk from source to sea and will consider numerous elements including; strengthening defences, upstream management, maintenance and resilience.

  • England: Dales Way Self-Guided Walk
    EUROPEAN WALKING HOLIDAYS 2018 ENGLAND - THE DALES WAY 8-days / 7-nights self-guided inn-to-inn walking holiday from Yorkshire to the Lake District and coast What better welcome to the north of England than the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, the purest form of the English highland landscape, with its traditions and views which have remained virtually untouched for centuries. Soft rolling hills, limestone edges, green valleys with pristine waterfalls and an ancient abbey all feature in our walk here as well as the many interesting small market towns and villages proud of their heritage. Walk the whole length of the much loved Dales Way long distance path, which runs right across the Yorkshire Dales National Park to Cumbria, following pretty river valleys, many with small ravines and rapids patrolled by kingfishers, swans and other birds on the lookout for brown trout lurking in the water. You walk through Wharfedale (where there is time to admire the ruins of Bolton Abbey) and then to Hubberholme, gradually gaining height to reach the Pennine watershed at Cam Fell (1700 feet / 520 metres). The way runs down Dentdale to the town of Sedbergh and across pastures to Bowness on Windermere. Along the way there are many beautiful spots for picnics, charming traditional pubs for lunch or refreshments, and always the lovely scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. Cost from: $1410 twin share per person Single room supplement from $260 (limited, on request) Departs: Daily from late March to early October Starts: Ilkley, Yorkshire Ends: Bowness-on-Windermere, Lake District, Cumbria.
