W23: Sustainable Arkengarthdale Discovery Walk

We will visit some of the many sites in Arkengarthdale where volunteers from the Sustainable Swaledale Group have carried out work to increase biodiversity, and to develop a natural method of flood management.

We will be accompanied by Rob Macdonald from the Group, with opportunities to ask questions about our own gardens/land and about the work of the Group.

From our start we follow the valley down to Heggs Farm where Liz Sutcliffe will provide a guided tour of the Heggs-Castle renaturing project.

After the tour there is a steady climb up to Low Moor, providing a birds eye view of the area covered by some of the projects, before turning downhill to Eskeleth Bridge and a final section north along the valley.
