Visit the High Fell exhibition at Tullie House to discover the story of Cumbria’s fells, told through the words and voices of local people. The interactive exhibition will enable visitors to explore the landscape and wildlife of the past and changes that have taken place.

The fell landscape is a defining image of Cumbria, the picture on a postcard. But have you ever wondered what it was like 60– 70 years ago?

The character of the fells has changed greatly since WWII, with developments in tourism, farming practices and other land use.
