We're coming up to the anniversary of Hush, an amazing spectacle that highlighted a little known feature of the #NorthPenninesAONB landscape. 5000+ visitors all engaging with the #uplands in a new way @ace_national @rougeit @HeritageFundNOR #MuseumsUnlocked https://t.co/phRh2MxWIx
For #MuseumsUnlocked upland landscapes here’s Hush, @rougeit’s stunning intervention in the landscape of the North Pennines AONB from last year. https://t.co/7CC59h3abt
We love our upland hay meadows. We've been spreading seed on meadows since 2006, and we work with farmers across the #NorthPenninesAONB to help them continue traditional management practices and conserve these wildflower-rich #HayMeadows #NationalMeadowsDay https://t.co/4giD3leKbf
Here's the beginning of an A-Z from @cottage1863 in the #NorthPenninesAONB. We're intrigued, and keeping our eyes peeled for Z. I think this might be a time when some of our local geological treasures might come in very handy 😉 https://t.co/dG49G0UjoG
I'm very privileged to have been built in the @NorthPennAONB - such a wonderful unspoilt part of the Country.
So - an A-Z of what we have to look forward to when life returns to normal.....but we have to keep safe lads & lasses........
