Explore the sand dunes and beach on our guided audio walk. This sound walk aims to highlight the unique wildlife on Mawbray dunes, the conservation efforts to protect this rare habitat, and the history and experiences of local communities! The full walk is circular, approximately 2.3km long, and should take around an hour to an hour and a half to complete. It includes uneven ground and unfortunately is largely inaccessible for wheelchair users. We have cattle, and ground nesting birds on site, so please keep your dogs under close control. Please download the walk to your phone before you come to the starting point, which is the Mawbray Banks car park, and make sure you allow Echoes to use your location to trigger the sounds as you walk along. It is designed to be experienced through headphones, so make sure you bring yours with you. The walk begins at Mawbray banks car park, Mawbray. From the car park head north out of the gate and take the track left in the direction of the beach; the trail will guide you as you progress along the route. All instructions and guidance will be offered within the audio, following trails through the dunes and above the high tide mark on the beach away from the waters edge. However, if you are planning to walk further onto the beach always check the tide times before your visit. This walk is part of the Dynamic Dunescapes project, partnered with Cumbria Wildlife Trust and Solway Coast AONB. It has been created by Holly Stainton*, X and .... alongside members of the community (x,x,x).

Round Our Place Ravenscraig is a creative Soundwalk project developed with and by the people of North Lanarkshire who live in the area of the former Ravenscraig Steelworks. This project explores the transformation of this post-industrial landscape through voices, memories, and dreams of the future. Last September, local amateur botanist Hamshya Rajkumar and Tricky Hat hosted walking workshops, encouraging participants to engage with Ravenscraig's unique plant and wildlife while sharing personal stories and reflections on what the land means to them as it enters a new phase of regeneration. Led by Tricky Hat Associate Digital Artist Kim Beveridge, who grew up in North Lanarkshire, Round Our Place Ravenscraig captures the connections between people and place by gathering stories that map the past, present, and possible futures of Ravenscraig. Round Our Place Ravenscraig is a Tricky Hat Productions project, funded by Creative Scotland and developed in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council, the local Duke of Edinburgh program, and Measuring Humanity at the University of Edinburgh.
