About

WORKSHOP CONTENT & LEARNING OUTCOMES

During the workshop you will delve into the formation of the Lake District landscape as we see it today, looking how glaciation has created the shape of our favourite National Park since the end of the great mountain building processes. You'll learn about more modern earth-changing processes too, including the formation of the Haweswater Reservoir and how land owners and environmental charities are now managing this landscape.
