Project of the Month
Friars Crag
| The Location |
| Friar’s Crag, Keswick’s beautiful lakeshore path is one of the best loved, most walked upon routes in England. Derwentwater is famed as the setting for many of the novels of Beatrix Potter, including Squirrel Nutkin. As a result many fans are inspired to visit the lake. However, the winter rains wash the path surface away each year and the many visitors also contribute to the erosion problem. |
The Project |
| The National Trust are helping to give the footpath a more permanent and substantial surface which resists flooding and erosion. At the same time they are upgrading the route to wheelchair standard for to improve access for all. |
