A Day Worth Recording

By Cheeseminer

Langdale

(The name Langdale summons up all sorts of images of the supposedly impregnable female-only hall of residence from my time at Uni in the dark ages.) 

Langdale Wood is a patch of woodland near us that we only discovered last year.  Most of it is rather impressively laid out with big spaces between the trees - it was clearly a managed area for a long time; probably for gentry to ride around in.  I've never seen anything quite like it.

However, it's currently under threat of development (in preference to developing the, bureaucratically complicated, bare flat fields that are adjacent).  Sometimes I wonder what people have keeping their ears apart - in particular the person who put this just outside the AONB.
