An area in Westmorland (now Cumbria) considered by the SPNR to be a ‘typical limestone formation’ and of geological and botanical significance. It was the only limestone pavement site on Rothschild’s list and the SPNR noted it as a location for specialist plants such as angular Solomon’s-seal and rigid buckler fern. Like other limestone pavement sites it has been damaged by some removal of stone but it is now protected as a nature reserve managed by Cumbria Wildlife Trust, and still contains some of the finest areas of limestone pavement in Britain.
