One more painting for #CountyDurhamDay This is one of the cairns on top of Cronkley Fell, a wonderful, wild and windswept place. It looks bleak, but here you'll find some of our rarest and most beautiful wild flowers in just a few weeks time. @NorthPennAONB https://t.co/kBAKixVcb5
Beautiful and important - to celebrate #CountyDurhamDay here's a way the landscape benefits everyone. Restoration work as part of #NaturalFloodManagement re-wets and re-vegetates our #peatlands to #slowtheflow of rainfall, helping to reduce flooding downstream https://t.co/4m7RScaUTh
Listen carefully there’s curlew and skylark calling and singing #CountyDurhamDay #NorthPenninesAONB #Weardale #spring https://t.co/CDvX743zHv
