  • The Outdoor Partnership Cumbria: Needs, Challenges and Opportunities
    The Outdoor Partnership Cumbria: Needs, challenges and opportunities Preliminary report of research conducted with stakeholder and user groups July 2020 David Harvey 1 Executive Summary The Outdoor Partnership in Cumbria offers an opportunity to increase participation in outdoor activity. The research showed that there is a strong belief amongst providers, teachers, commissioners and stakeholders in the importance and value of time and outdoor and adventurous activities in the natural environment for mental and physical health, personal development and broadening horizons. Young people from Copeland who were surveyed also expressed an interest in taking part in outdoor activities. Challenges The research unearthed the following societal barriers, which programmes aiming to increase participation should consider: • Attitudes to physical activity and historical/cultural non participation in outdoor activity • A non-outdoor mindset • Limited public transport • Poverty and disposable income • Lack of awareness of opportunities • Lack of joined up approach to delivery • Limited existing sector capacity to deliver increased provision The development of a local economy that is less reliant on Sellafield is a priority for Copeland Borough Council. Related to this, it is widely believed that young people will need to develop the skills to be able to deal with the challenges associated with an uncertain world of work. Wider research shows that regular participation in outdoor activities can: • lead to greater awareness of self, others and the environment

  • Fountain House £885,000
    FOUNTAIN HOUSE £885,000 8 Beck Head, Kirkby Lonsdale, LA6 2AY An impressive landmark townhouse Situated in a central position in this sought-after Lune Valley market town, a handsome and substantial town house with the rear portion predating 1715 and the Georgian frontage being built in 1830. Grade II Listed, the property is bursting with character and original features and offers spacious, well-proportioned accommodation over three floors. All important within the town, there’s a private walled garden which includes space to park. www.davis-bowring.co.uk Welcome to FOUNTAIN HOUSE £885,000 8 Beck Head, Kirkby Lonsdale, LA6 2AY Situated in a prominent and central position, a statuesque Grade II Listed townhouse which dates back to pre 1715 with the Georgian frontage added later in 1830. The property has an interesting past - originally the principal inn within the town and having a thatched roof, it stood on the street which was the meeting place for local farmers. Later sold to William Carus Wilson (1791 – 1859) who in 1823 established the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge (made famous by the Bronte Sisters), the front of the inn was knocked down and rebuilt as a private dwelling, known as Beck Head House. In 1934, the house became a nursing home run by Mrs Wilson, the wife of Jonty Wilson, the Fairbank Blacksmith and took on the current name, Fountain House. The current owners bought it in 1989 and Fountain House has served them well as a family house, at one time with three generations. Whilst in good order, the modern generation of buyers will inevitably be looking to undertake cosmetic refreshments and put their stamp on the house.
