International Bewick’s and Whooper Swan Census: 11/12 January 2020 The following list of sites was produced using WeBS data (Core Counts and supplementary data) from 2008/09 - 2017/18, for December, January and February only, and swan census counts from the 2010 and 2015 surveys. For each site, the peak count is given for each season. We hope this list is helpful, but please bear in mind that it is intended as a guide rather than a definitive list. There may be additional areas not listed which you know hold swans and we would be very grateful if you could also arrange coverage for those sites LO Region: Cumbria (excl. estuaries) Sector Season Site Code Site Name Sector Name Grid ref Species code 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 85011 Grayrigg Tarn SD595980 WS 2 58023 Kentmere Tarn NY455029 WS 1 2 2 7 58031 Windermere SD390948 WS 1 58081 Ennderdale Lake NY109150 WS 2 59001 Tarn House Tarn NY753031 WS 1 2 59035 Bassenthwaite Lake NY217293 WS 2 6 3 59051 Siddick Pond NY001303 WS 4 9 6 8 3 5 7 16 4 59052 Tarns Dub NY115473 WS 4 1 59063 Cardew Mires Quarry NY348507 WS 4 59066 Thurstonfield Lough NY319562 WS 3 59081 Tindale Tarn NY605587 WS 2 3 59086 Lindskeldfield Pond NY176344 WS 5 Wet Sleddale 59101 NY548114 WS 2 Reservoir 59251 Oulton Ponds NY231507 WS 8 39 Oakbank Farm Gravel 59271 NY365699 WS 7 7 Pits 59272 Gretna Road Gravel Pits NY370686 WS 13 18 12 16 10 Longtown Ponds & 59270 River 59273 Crofthead Gravel Pit NY379704 WS 1 59274 Arthuret Pond NY370677 WS 6 7 8 26 Sector Season Site Code Site Name Sector Name Grid ref Species code 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 River Eden – 59302 Grinsdale to NY355599 WS 108 60 85 72 6 48 1 2 1 7 Sandsfield River Eden – Scotby 59303 NY426573 WS 28 20 80 25 72 46 8 33 7 to Rickerby Rocks River Eden – Newby 59304 NY451585 WS 33 20 53 68 53 63 88 to Scotby 59306 Wedholme Flow NY218527 WS 14 18 12 616 186 6 5 88 66 59308 Holme Dub NY152475 WS 31 19 3 3 5 5 5 4 R Esk: Arthuret to 59323 Metal bridge, NY362662 WS 6 62 Rockcliffe River Eden – Kirkby 59350 NY636244 WS 41 51 67 61 42 56 61 48 60 72 Thore River Eden – Little 59352 NY557356 WS 1 Salkeld River Eden – Crosby 59357 NY465585 WS 47 to Carlisle Rivers Eamont & 59370 Eden – Honeypot to NY583312 WS 3 2 Edenhall St Bees Head to 59430 59402 Workington to Flimby NY002317 WS 9 Mawbray Additional sites Grid Ref Species 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Abbey House, NY1850 WS 116 Abberytown Ellercarr Bridge NY200513 WS 18 Brunstock NY424598 WS 66 Crofthead Farm NY387711 WS 15 Easton NY274834 WS 7 Gribbs Meadow NY218559 WS 22 NY236564 WS 32 Kirkbride NY238561 WS 93 Additional sites Grid Ref Species 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Kirkstanton SD144802 WS 3 Nr.

Baseline mapping © Ordnance Survey: licence number 100026791. 1 CUMBRIA COASTAL STRATEGY - POLICY AREA 11E5 DUBMILL POINT TO SILLOTH 1 Introduction 1.1 Location and site description Policy units: 11e5.1 Dubmill Point to Silloth (priority unit) Responsibilities: Allerdale Borough Council Cumbria County Council United Utilities Location: This unit lies between the defended headland of Dubmill Point and Silloth Harbour to the north. Site overview: The shoreline is mainly low lying, characterised by a wide mud, sand and shingle foreshore, fronting low lying till cliffs and two belts of dunes; at Mawbray and at Silloth. The lower wide sandy foreshore is interspersed by numerous scars, including Dubmill Scar, Catherinehole Scar, Lowhagstock Scar, Lee Scar, Beck Scar and Stinking Crag. These scars are locally important for wave dissipation and influence shoreline retreat. The behaviour of this shoreline is strongly influenced by the Solway Firth, as the frontage lies at the estuary’s lower reaches. Over the long term, the foreshore has eroded across the entire frontage due to the shoreward movement of the Solway Firth eastern channel (Swatchway), which has caused narrowing of the intertidal sand area and increased shoreline exposure to tidal energy. The Swatchway currently lies closer to the shoreline towards the north of the frontage. There is a northward drift of sediment, but the southern arm of Silloth Harbour intercepts this movement, which helps stabilise the beach along this section.

We formed the Aspatria Rural Partnership and decided to prepare this Community Action Plan. It aims to provide a strategic approach and to co-ordinate our actions through the delivery of an evidence-based action plan. This is intentionally a succinct document, which belies the amount of work that went into its preparation. That work is captured in a background issues paper, which sets out the research and consultation that helped us define our objectives and actions. We now want to implement our plan and we welcome your input. If we have missed something that is important to you, then let us know. If you have any suggestions on the actions or if there is anything you can do to help implement them, please do get in touch.

Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Pre - Submission Draft
Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1) Pre - Submission Draft Submitted document including the Council’s proposed modifications February 2014 Foreword To meet the needs of Allerdale’s communities we need a plan that provides for new jobs to diversify and grow our economy and new homes for our existing and future population whilst balancing the need to protect the natural and built environment. This document, which covers the area outside the National Park, forms the first part of the Allerdale Local Plan and contains the Core Strategy and Development Management policies. It sets a clear vision, for the next 15 years, for how new development can address the challenges we face. The Core Strategy will guide other documents in the Allerdale Local Plan, in particular the site allocations which will form the second part of the plan. This document is the culmination of a great deal of public consultation over recent years, and extensive evidence gathering by the Council. The policies in the Plan will shape Allerdale in the future, helping to deliver sustainable economic development, jobs and much needed affordable housing for our communities. The Council considers this to be the most appropriate plan to take forward to be submitted to the Secretary of State for public examination by an inspector. However, before submitting this document we are asking the public and stakeholders to consider and submit comments on the soundness of the document. The Plan and associated documents, including guidance on how to submit your comments can be viewed at www.allerdale.gov.uk/localplan and at Council offices.

Geography in Borrowdale
Geography Derwentwater Independent Hostel is located in the Borrowdale Valley, 3 miles south of Keswick, in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Barrow Beck, which flows through our grounds, is part of the River Derwent drainage basin. The scope for Geography residentials at Derwentwater Independent Hostel is vast: the topics and resources listed here are certainly not exhaustive! Please ask us if you would like a customised information sheet, tailored to specific exam boards and topic/s. Fieldwork techniques and other geographical skills DIH is perfectly situated for measuring river channel and flow, with local streams of different sizes, and good access to the River Derwent. There are excellent viewpoints for observing valley characteristics and making sketch maps. The bottom of our grounds is a safe location for conducting traffic surveys. This is very close to the survey location used by the National Park Authority. The small town of Keswick (population of approximately 5000) is only 5km/3 miles away. It is an ideal size for population, settlement, and economic fieldwork. Map and compass work can easily be incorporated into your activities, with numerous landscape features in Borrowdale to aid navigation practice. Derwent Water is an excellent orienting feature, lying almost exactly north- south. We have numerous different books and maps of the local area, encouraging students to extract information from different sources. The Lake District National Park Authority provides comprehensive data for the Lake District National Park, including population, housing, land use, employment, traffic, National Park finance, tourism, climate, geology, and transport data. An interesting insight into the role of Geographical Information Systems in the Lake District can be found here: http://www.nationalparks.gov.uk/aboutus/jobs/workingforus/gis-officer The numerous fells and triangulation points in the area provide a good environment for trying out surveying techniques.
