Remember Zip Off ? This is the next threat to the Lakes

Only months after defeating plans for a zip-wire at Thirlmere, @FriendsofLakes are gearing up to fight plans for a cable car near Keswick.

They say the cable car 'could become a tourist attraction in its own right rather than a radical traffic solution.' https://t.co/XkXojYY3ck

Lake District National Park

Coming soon to a Year 7 lesson near you. Tony Walsh on the Lake District...

Poetry by Tony Walsh 

We have collaborated with northern poet Tony Walsh to create this unique short film, ‘Reflecting On The Lakes’. The unique film and poem celebrates what it’s like to live, work and love the National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, and will inspire viewers to help us protect and care for this truly special place. The film sets out to shine a light on the real Lake District; celebrating all there is to love about the National Park, and declares: ‘it’s where farming shaped the landscape and where landscape shaped our lives, it’s now honoured by UNESCO with a badge we’ll wear with pride'. ‘Reflecting On The Lakes’, features scenes from across the Lake District which form the backdrop to a passionate piece of poetry written and performed by leading spoken word poet, Tony Walsh.
