The Felled Areas Have Been Replanted: A History of Chopwell Wood Chopwell Wood is a fascinating 900-acre forest that represents thousands of years of human industrial, cultural, and ecological use. For centuries trees were harvested for ships, churches, and tanning hides. Coal was mined from the early thirteenth century until 1966. Recreation is now the main industry in the wood. Except in a few small locations, only the footprint and geological features of the ancient forest remain. Chopwell Wood is a human built landscape--one that has been cut down and replanted multiple times. In 1951 the Forestry Commission wrote an exquisite "History of Chopwell Forest". Throughout the report the author discusses the use of the woods, why certain tree species were planted, and the many missteps previous generations made in managing the forest. The report captures the genesis of Chopwell Wood as we know it now. We invite you to wander through the woods--what traces of this history can you see or experience around you today?

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). Any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated; please get in touch at mail@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk.
