Fellfoot Forward

Led by the North Pennines National Landscape team, the Fellfoot Forward Landscape Partnership Scheme, 2020-2024, was a major project to conserve, enhance and celebrate the natural and cultural heritage of a special part of the north west of England, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Watch the video below for scheme activity.

Our work

Our projects are exciting and varied, and we hope there is something for everyone to get involved in. We’ll be working on citizen science; community archaeology; woodland creation and management; protecting grassland and meadows; restoring peat; conserving historic buildings; new and revitalised walking, cycling and riding routes; enhanced interpretation and information for the local community and visitors; opportunities for local schools and youth groups to engage with their local heritage; and a host of public events and learning.
