Where: The Helm, Oxenholme, LA8 0LR

Tranquillity is one of many components that come together to create the overall character of a landscape, and it is something that many visitors to the Lake District and Cumbria come to enjoy but it is often misunderstood or not fully understood even by those tasked with protecting it.

In this session, our head of planning and policy, Lorayne Wall, and our policy officer, Kate Willshaw, will guide you on an exploration of tranquillity using the landscape of our land at The Helm to help us consider questions such as What is tranquillity?, Why is it important? How do we experience it? How do we protect tranquillity? and how should we take tranquillity into account in decisions that affect the landscape?

Walk grade: Easy/ModeratePlease bring: Lunch, drink, waterproofs, sturdy footwear, sun protection. A pen and paper to take any notes.

Meeting point: Details of where to meet will be emailed when you book.
