EP1 – Gait Barrows and Hawes Water

Saturday 14th September, 2019 at 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Carin on Gait Barrows

A walk by Glen Swainson of Natural England.

One of the major features that makes the Arnside and Silverdale AONB such an Extraordinary Place is the limestone pavement that makes up so much it.  Nowhere is this as spectacularly displayed as at the Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve in the heart of the AONB, where one of the most important limestone pavement areas in Britain is under the care of Natural England.

The manager of the reserve, Glen Swainson, will lead this walk around Gait Barrows and the neighbouring Hawes Water, explaining the reserve’s history, its special qualities and features, Natural England’s current policies and plans for the conservation of nationally rare plant and insect species, as well as showing off some of its hidden corners.

The walk will start at 2 pm and last about 2 hours. The walk will include some rough terrain which may well be slippery, especially if wet. Please ensure that you bring water-proofs and wear stout footwear.

Dogs are not permitted on this walk, owing to Natural England policy at the reserve.

There is only limited parking for this event. If you will be travelling to this event by car and are able to offer a lift to someone without transport, or alternatively would appreciate a lift to the event, please let us know when booking.

PLEASE NOTE: Booking for this event is by email only.
