Broad Length Plantation, located in Westmorland, is a picturesque woodland area known for its lush greenery and diverse range of plant and animal species. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, this plantation is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking solace in the midst of nature.

The plantation primarily consists of broad-leaved trees, such as oak, beech, ash, and birch, which contribute to its name. These trees create a dense canopy, providing shade and shelter to various wildlife species. The forest floor is adorned with an array of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to the beauty and biodiversity of the area.

Walking through the plantation, visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquil ambiance and enjoy the soothing sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the wind. The cool, fresh air coupled with the scent of damp earth creates a refreshing atmosphere, making it an ideal location for leisurely walks, picnics, and photography.

The plantation also serves as a habitat for a wide range of animals, including deer, foxes, rabbits, and numerous bird species. Birdwatchers can spot woodpeckers, jays, thrushes, and various other avian species darting between the trees. Additionally, the plantation is home to a diverse population of insects, butterflies, and small mammals, contributing to the overall ecological balance of the area.

Broad Length Plantation is managed by local authorities and offers well-maintained paths and picnic areas for visitors to enjoy. It provides a unique opportunity to connect with nature and offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Jackdaws Scar Ford This new raised ford was completed in November 2021. Under low flow conditions, vehicles can cross the ford without disturbing the river-life. Also, vehicles can cross the ford safely with higher flows than before. The ford had been closed after being damaged by Storm Desmond in December 2015.
