Wildzone Cumbria Lays on a Naturally Riveting Red October Wildzone Cumbria Lays On A Naturally Riveting Red October Head to Cumbria for a really wild time this October, as Wildzone Cumbria lays on a feast of wildlife and out-in-the-wild experiences that will have the red ruling your heart. Wildzone Cumbria creates and delivers exciting wildlife encounters, which encourage wild exploration and foster an interaction and engagement with flora and fauna. It introduces visitors to the best wild places, experiences and wild sightings available across the county. The Wildzone’s ‘Red October’ is a month packed with things to do outdoors based in locations rich in some of Cumbria’s most iconic wildlife – red squirrels, red deer and red kite to name but three species. With the red leaves of autumn on the trees and red sunsets over Morecambe Bay, nature animates an autumnal stay, day trip or one-off experience. October activities in the Wildzone Cumbria include exciting walks, creative creature-focused crafts, wildlife watching, outdoor exploration, cycling, fishing, photography, naturally spooky Halloween goings on, conservation, volunteering and taste-bud-tingling foodie experiences. There is something for everyone, whether that’s a ‘Fungal Foray’ with Cumbria Wildlife Trust, a Red Deer cruise with Ullswater ‘Steamers’, photographing wild deer with a National Trust deer stalker, fishing for rainbow trout or becoming a nature detective in Whinlatter Forest! Fun can be found by getting outdoors on the trail of Cumberland sausage and real ale thanks to the Beer ‘n’ Bangers Festival in the Western Lake District, enjoying red squirrel themed craftwork at the World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness, taking a Walk on the Wildside on the Bearded Tit trail at the RSPB Leighton Moss nature reserve and following in the footsteps of Romans with the Lake District National Park and the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. Wild activities of the spooky kind for the October half term/Halloween week include following a ‘Creatures of the Night’ family trail at RSPB Leighton Moss, making pastry pumpkins in the Georgian kitchen of Wordsworth House (Cockermouth), listening to spooky stories in Wild Ennerdale and exploring haunted woods at the National Trust’s Acorn Bank. Add to this leisure learning in the wild, whether that is sketching or using natural materials to create something special, and hunting down Red October in the Wildzone Cumbria, really is the recipe for a truly exceptional autumn jaunt, made even easier by Wildzone Cumbria accommodation members who help guests ‘unwild’ after a naturally action-packed day. To celebrate its first birthday, Wildzone Cumbria has a super prize of a four-night, full board photo workshop up for grabs courtesy of Lakeland Photographic Holidays. Amateur photographers can enter by posting a photo of wildlife or scenery taken in the Wildzone on Facebook page www.facebook.com/WildzoneCumbria or on its wildlife sightings page at www.wildzonecumbria.org. This prize is worth £495 and covers photography tuition, accommodation, food and excursions. Wildzone Cumbria wants to CU go wild this October, so why not let the red rule your heart and give in to your wild child instincts? You will be assured of all your creature comforts and masses of fun to boot!

  • Lakes Big Swims Trip Notes
    ` Lakes Big Swims Trip Notes TRIP OVERVIEW The Lake District is home to over 80 lakes, meres, waters, and tarns making it a great location for open water swimming. On this short escape, we offer the opportunity to do some longer swims on what we think are four of the best lakes in the area. The days are packed as we swim the entire length of Derwent Water and Wast Water and swim across Grasmere and Ullswater. This trip is a fabulous opportunity to spend a few days not only exploring the different areas of the Lake District from a swimming perspective, but also experiencing the uniqueness of each lake. Swimmers will be escorted by experienced swim guides and qualified canoeists during all swims. Our accommodation is located on the shores of the water at Grasmere, right across the road from Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage. WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR? This trip is a combination of lake length swims as well as some long width crossings. Most swims are between 4-5kms, so the trip is best suited to those who fancy these types of distances. Although challenging, these swims are some of the most spectacular anywhere in the Lakes. LOCATION SUMMARIES Wast Water Wast Water is perhaps the most awe-inspiring of all the lakes and the deepest in England. Surrounded by the mountains of Red Pike, Kirk Fell and Great Gable, the peak of Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain is our target as swim the length of this Water. Derwent Water Derwent Water is fed by the River Derwent with a catchment area in the high fells surrounded to its west rise by the fells of Cat Bells and to its east, the fantastic viewpoint of Friar's Crag, jutting into the lake.

    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.

This trail takes in each of the main Lake District valleys, along lake shores and over remote mountain passes. You will follow in the footsteps of shepherds and drovers along ancient pathways from one valley to the next. Starting in Windermere, the route takes you through the picturesque towns of Ambleside, Coniston, Keswick and Grasmere (site of Dove Cottage the former home of the romantic poet William Wordsworth). The route takes you through some of the Lake District’s most impressive valleys including the more remote valleys of the western Lake District such as Eskdale, Wasdale and Ennerdale, linked together with paths over high mountain passes. One of the many highlights of this scenic tour is a visit to the remote Wasdale Head in the shadow of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England.
