Annual Tourism Forum
The 2023 North Pennines Tourism Forum was held on 29 November in Kirkoswald Church Institute, Penrith, Cumbria. This year we are shining a spotlight on the North Pennines National Landscape’s Fellfoot Forward Landscape Partnership Scheme.
Jan Simmonds from North Pennines National Landscape welcomed the attendees to the Annual Tourism Forum. The activities in the morning began with a historic walk around Kirkoswald led by Andrew Pearce, a historical walk leader, followed by a winter wildlife identification session led by Rebecca Slack from the Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre. After lunch and networking, a presentation regarding the launch of North Pennines National Landscape was given by North Pennines National Landscape Communications Lead, Sarah Hudspeth. Westmorland & Furness & Cumberland Council staff, Jessica Goodfellow & Paul Walker, shared tourism updates followed by North Pennines tourism Fellfoot Forward & slow trails updates from North Pennines National Landscape staff, Shane Harris, Rio Floreza & Fiona Knox.
The forum was aimed at tourism businesses in and near to the North Pennines National Landscape & UNESCO Global Geopark.
