  • MORECAMBE & HEYSHAM There Are 16 Primary and 2 Secondary
    Lancashire County Council Children & Young People’s Public Health Commissioning—Child Health Profiles 2017 Public Health, assisted by Business Intelligence within Lancashire County Council have created 34 middle level (MSOA* cluster) Child Health Profiles (CHPs). This is because the CHPs on the Public Health England website are only at upper tier level. This does not show the outcome data at sub-district level but just an overview of children and young people’s health across the whole of County. These lower level profiles highlight where children’s health needs are the greatest and opportunities to reduce inequalities are greatest. MORECAMBE & HEYSHAM There are 16 primary and 2 secondary schools with 6th forms in Morecambe & Heysham. There are 2 special schools, 2 independent schools and 1 further education col- lege. There are 6 GP practices. Child health outcomes are quite poor in Morecambe and Heysham with 4 indicators ranked 3rd highest of the 34 CHPs (where 34 = best) covering Lancashire. These are the % of young people not in education employment or train- ing, the % of maternities to mums aged <20 years, the num- ber of children aged 5-17 on a child protection plan and the number of looked after children aged 0-4. It also has the 4th highest number of looked after children aged 5-17. 22% of children here are living in poverty (10th). Educational attainment in quite low with 46% of 10/11 year olds passing key stage 2 education and 48% of 15/16 year olds passing key stage 4. 64% of 4/5 year olds achieve a good level of development at the end of reception (7th).

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Pendle Hill
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Pendle Hill - from Downham Starting point and OS Grid reference Downham Village – free car park (SD 785441) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer OL41 Forest of Bowland and Ribblesdale. Distance 6.3 miles Date of Walk 24 February 2016 Traffic light rating Introduction: Pendle Hill is one of the most visited Lancashire walks. The hill has a distinctive shape and if you have ever looked south from a Yorkshire Dales vantage point and wondered “what is that hill”, the chances are it was Pendle. From its summit at 1827ft (557 metres) there are good views north, to the Ribble Valley and the Yorkshire Dales beyond and south towards Colne. This route starts from the very pretty village of Downham and is an alternative route to my other Pendle Hill walk from Barley. Overall, this is a very easy walk to navigate, using clearly defined paths. Downham is an “estate” village, owned by Lord Clitheroe. He also owns Pendle Hill and the route across the hill makes use of concessionary paths. To get to Downham, turn off the A59 just east of Clitheroe. It is signposted although you initially turn off north before passing south over the A59 via a fly-over. There is a free public car park in Downham with toilets. Even if you do not need the services of the toilets, it is worth having a look. They are unusual (I won’t spoil the surprise!). The village also has a pub. You will pass a shelter on Pendle Hill, which has a seat should you wish a picnic and it is also possible to get out of the prevailing wind on the east side of the summit by the Barley footpath.

    1 Forest of Bowland Tea Shops FOREST OF BOWLAND A place to enjoy and keep special 2 Forest of Bowland A Place to Enjoy and Keep Special Expanses of sky above the wild dramatic sweep of open moorland. Gentle and tidy lowlands, criss-crossed with dry stone walls and dotted with picturesque farms and villages. This is a place like no other, a place with a strong sense of stepping back in time to a forgotten part of the English countryside, a place known as Bowland – the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Situated in NorthWest England, covering 803 square kilometres (300 sq miles) of rural Lancashire and North Yorkshire, the Forest of Bowland AONB is in two parts. The famous landmark of Pendle Hill is geologically linked to the main upland block but separated by the broad valley of the River Ribble. The area surrounding this outlier is known locally as the Forest of Pendle, whilst being under the umbrella of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty title and designation. 3 Forest of Bowland A Place to Enjoy and Keep Special The Forest of Bowland AONB is protected by law to ensure the conservation and enhancement of its natural beauty, not just for the present, but also for future generations. AONBs have been regarded for generations as treasured areas with special character, and are designated for the quality of their landscapes. The Forest of Bowland was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1964 under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1949) and was recognised by the government as being of equal status as National Parks by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CRoW) 2000.
