  • Get Those Winter Warmers on and Head out for a Walk in One of Alfred Wainwright’S Favourite Spots…
    Press release: Wednesday 12th November Get those winter warmers on and head out for a walk in one of Alfred Wainwright’s favourite spots…. Travelling through seven miles of spectacular scenery within sight of England’s highest mountains, the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway is certainly the little railway with the big views. One of the oldest and longest narrow gauge railways in the country, the attraction transports passengers from the Lake District’s only coastal village, Ravenglass, to the Dalegarth for Boot station, some 210ft above sea level. Why not wrap up warm this winter and combine a trip on this affectionately-known ‘La’al Ratty’ with a walk through the beautiful Eskdale valley? Whether you are an experienced walker or just want to enjoy a gentle stroll, there is something to suit everyone and when coupled with a trip on the railway it makes for a unique day out. You could travel to Dalegarth before following the carefully described walk back to Ravenglass, taking in every other station on the line. If you’re feeling more adventurous, there’s an option to walk over the crest of Muncaster Fell, and it’s easy to divert to Eskdale Green village too. The beauty of this ‘Steam and Ramble’ is that there is never a train too far away. And for those who want to explore some local food and drink, get ready for a ‘Beer n Bangers’ walk of which they are plenty. Do the Circuit of Caw, Black Beck, Black Combe or walk the circuit of the Lake District’s largest tarn - Devoke Water.

  • The North of England, Northern Englishness, and Sympathetic Magic
    View metadata, citation and similarbrought COREpapers to youat core.ac.ukby provided by Leeds Beckett Repository Theorizing Northernness and Northern Culture: The North of England, Northern Englishness, and Sympathetic Magic Abstract Northernness is something that is simultaneously as real as the millstone grit of the Pennines, and as inauthentic as the simulacra Roman texts that gave the hills their name. Drawing on the work of Baudrillard, Anderson and Frazer, this paper offers a strong critique of the ‘common- sense’ idea of northernness expressed in culture by and about the north. The paper begins by attempting to understand this construct historically and from the inside, anthropologically and sociologically. A discussion of the ways in which northernness is claimed to be constructed and performed through shared myths will allow for a wider analysis of how the north is still constructed hegemonically by outsiders: as an essential place of Othering and wilderness. I argue that previous scholarship about northern culture and northern England has also contributed to this essentialism. It will then be shown how northernness has become a form of Frazerian sympathetic magic, performed and invoked to account for cultural practices and beliefs that have been invoked elsewhere for the purposes of hegemonic power. Keywords: Baudrillard, Frazer, Identity, Myth, Northernness 1 Introduction If there is a sacred omphalos to the north of England, it might be the millstone-grit outcrop on top of the moor on which I am often found: Skipton Moor. This moor is the last point at which the sandstones of millstone grit, which make up the spine of the Pennine hills, are found before being ruptured by the waters of the Aire Gap.
