Lake District

Outdoor Classroom

Habitats include freshwater, sand dunes and rocky shores together with moorlands and a wide variety of woodlands. For geographers there are opportunities to study upland glaciation, soils, ecosystems, agriculture and hydrology. There are also a wide variety of settlements and Carlisle is only 35 minutes away. The National Park also provides an excellent outdoor classroom for investigating tourisms and conflicts of use.
