Eden Conservation

Stone Work

Cumbria is known throughout the country for its many miles of Dry-stone walls. Eden Conservation re-build and repair hundreds of metres of wall each year.

This series of pictures follow the re-build of a traditional sheep fold at the summit of Brant Fell near Sedbergh and now provides respite from the elements for walkers and sheep.

The sheep fold in its collapsed state

The fold is part of an ongoing project being carried out by the Yorkshire Dales National Parks Authority to maintain and improve this area of High fell land. 

Making a start

Eden Conservation also re-seeded a recently improved footpath in this same area, a specialist mix of seed was used to replicate the existing vegetation

The finished sheep fold

We can provide help with Stewardship Schemes on behalf of Farmers and Landowners.
